About Yoga & Me

​In our modern hectic world, the ancient practice of yoga is more relevant than ever and yoga creates precious moments of peace and calm. I truly believe that yoga is for every body and that a regular practice brings us huge health benefits including greater physical strength and mental resilience. As well as increasing our physical flexibility and improving our balance, yoga can teach us self awareness. As we learn about ourselves, we discover greater acceptance.  

My aim is to share the benefits of yoga with everyone who comes to my accessible and inclusive classes - whatever your age, race, gender, fitness level, health condition or yoga experience, you are welcome. I like to give students as much individual attention as possible to help them practise yoga safely and in tune with their own needs. 

I went to my first yoga class in India over 30 years ago and my own practice has been a constant through life’s ups and downs ever since, supporting me to feel calm, flexible and strong, and to restore my energy. Before moving into full-time yoga teaching, I spent many years working in health, international development and human rights charities. I've also worked for over a decade in the field of  mental health support and special educational needs, with a specialism in Autism.

I have been teaching yoga for over 10 years after qualifying as a Yoga Alliance-registered teacher.

My Hatha Yoga group classes (in Gentle, SlowFlow and Chair Yoga styles) combine classic yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and relaxation. These elements build our strength and flexibility, improve our balance and relieve stress. Our community classes are friendly and fun, offering inclusive, compassionate spaces for you to personalise your yoga practice and find greater ease and comfort in your body. I also love to teach longer workshops, like my Weekend Wind-down Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra retreats.

I'm a qualified Yoga Therapist, supporting people to explore in 1:1 sessions how the tools of yoga can improve their mental and physical health. You can read more on my Yoga Therapy page.
