about me

I began my yoga practice at the end of the 1990’s whilst an undergraduate student and have been teaching since 2005.  I taught full-time foe a decade before having children. I now teach part-time around parenting and studying for a MSc in Therapeutic Counselling.  

 

My current interpretation of yoga is influenced by classical Hatha and somatic awareness practices. 

 

I’ve been teaching in SE London for 20 years and have a loyal following of students.  I studied Ashtanga yoga under Patthabi Jois in Mysore, India in the early 2000’s and taught vinyasa based yoga for many years.  I’m also highly experienced in pregnancy yoga and post-natal yoga and have taught hundreds of women and their babies. 

 

I am a specialist in therapeutic yoga for Women’s Health and Yoga Nidra and am currently training in somatic awareness practices. 

 

I came to yoga looking for a solution to the back pain I suffered from as a result of spinal fusion surgery for a scoliosis.  Practising yoga has been an essential part of maintaining my mobility and well-being.  I have a special interest in working with people with back pain.

 

I am a highly experienced retreat leader both in the UK and overseas, having lead over 20 residential retreats.
