I’ve been practising yoga for some 15 years and have been teaching since January 2007. I am a qualified British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) Diploma holder, and have also completed the Yoga for Pregnancy module. I am insured through the British Wheel of Yoga and undertake the Wheel’s requirement for continual professional development. 

I am the Deputy Treasurer for the South West region of the BWY. Please see the website for more information on yoga in the south west (www.yogasouthwest.org.uk).

Yoga Style

I am influenced by the teachings of TKV Desikachar, as this is focused on modifying your yoga practice to suit each individual. I particularly like working with sequences, linking breath and movement together.

I work with “sthira and sukham” from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (these loosely translate to strength / firmness and grace / flexibility). By using these principles, yoga is great for improving posture and spinal movement.

Having had a lower back problem for some years, I understand the need to work safely and within our own limits. If you do have any concerns then please do email me and I would be happy to discuss this with you.

I love bringing different yoga styles and new things to try in the classes so that there is variety and interest, and hopefully a bit of humour as well!
