Border Terrier Lover, Traveller, Constant Student - (Yoga Therapist in Training) - moving through life with a waggy tail and a broad smile!
Passionate about sustainable wellness, and finding out what works for you and your lifestyle. Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation are key foundations for my personal wellness, as is getting out in nature, live music, salsa dancing, dog walks, and time with friends and family.
Our lives and our needs are evolving continuously, therefore it makes sense to me that our Yoga practice and overall wellness approach needs to be adaptable; sustainable; and appropriate to the person we are today…
My yoga journey started many moons ago and has helped me navigate the ups and downs life throws at you. I graduated Teacher training in 2016 and over the last 8 years I’ve been lucky to partner with wonderful local yoga studios, sharing practice with all levels of students. I have also developed & delivered successful workshops, wellness events and European retreats.
My classes are about building a mindful; sustainable and enjoyable practice, working with yogi’s at ALL levels helping them to connect, grow, and learn to LOVE their yoga practice. My teaching is influenced by my historical love of Iyengar and Dynamic Vinyasa, and more recently Yin, Gentle and Restorative Yoga.
