What a lot of people don’t realise is that meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques can be employed not just to de-stress and calm down but also to empower, transform, boost confidence and to help steer people to their best life to achieve their goals.

I have made it my purpose to teach Yoga, Meditation, Yoga Nidra and breathing techniques to others. These are techniques that can be truly life changing and life affirming.

I started Yoga when I was really small, about 5 years old in the local community hall. My grandmother got me into yoga, she must have been one of the first western ladies to practice yoga in the UK, as yoga only came to the Western world in the 1960’s. I kept coming back to it throughout my life until I decided to commit to yoga full time in 2011.

When I was younger I studied Western Philosophy at university and I studied a second degree in psychotherapy. I had always been interested in the human condition and the questions around existence and consciousness. I had also always wanted to work in a caring profession but had never found anything that quite fitted. When I started my yoga teacher training it was like coming home - a perfect fit. I have since completed my 200hr yoga teacher training and a further 500hrs training. I have mostly been taught by renowned Yoga Master Yogrupa Rod Stryker and Parayoga. Through his immense body of training I have truly come to understand Tantric Philosophy and the immense power of yoga on our whole being.
