Entering my mid 40’s, I was picking up injuries that stopped me from playing sports for weeks and sometimes months. I was becoming stiff as I got older with not many options to rehabilitate, apart from general gym stretches. I was stiff with little ability for my body to repair.

Finding Yoga by accident online, I practice for many months not feeling much benefit but persevered as I was told it will do me good.

After about three months practicing yoga and no other sport, I decided to go for a run. Wow! I had loose hips and a spring in my step. Incredibly I ran my usual route quicker than before.  I carried on practicing yoga, running mainly injury free and easier than I did 10 years ago.

Yoga was initially a physical discipline, hard graft, a little like compound interest. The benefits can be slow to reveal themselves, but if you put in enough effort over time it starts to pay off.

I have since increased my knowledge of Yoga developing an understanding how breathing, quiet time, space and relaxation can benefit your health and attitude to life.

I trained as a Hatha Sivananda Yoga Teacher, Subsequently I have also studied and developed a Vinyasa practice including breathing and relaxation time. I feel this gives me a flexibility to teach a variety of classes and students. 

I am the “Nearly bendy Yogi” always learning about my body and mind. I aim to maintain and increase my flexibility and develop my yoga practice further. I believe in breath with movement, working with your body and mind throughout the practice. 

My lessons invite you to achieve your physical goals, become more flexible / maintain current flexibility, breath, be happy, relax your mind and body.
