ABOUT ME

“You have to become your own teacher and your own disciple.”  Krishnamurti

 

When I entered my first yoga class, I was 39 years old and living in Toronto. My objective was to improve my fitness. Although I did become stronger and more subtle, my mood, concentration and ability to cope with life in general improved as well. So much so that yoga became an essential component of my life.

 

In yoga, I found a physical discipline that addressed the union between the body, mind and spirit. Through my practice, I came to learn that we cannot separate these three elements within ourselves; that they are inter-related and inter-dependent and by becoming aware of this, we can reach our astonishing potential in our lives.

 

The yoga I teach has been influenced by the many wonderful teachers I have studied with in the schools of Vinyasa Flow, Scaravelli-inspired, Iyengar, and Ashtanga. Ultimately, though, I teach from my own practice that has emerged from my mat.

 

I have a keen interest in the bio-mechanics of the body. This has helped me address student's issues, be it back pain, limited mobility or joint pain with care, attention and a basic trust in the individual’s own intelligence and their capacity to heal themselves.  Each class is structured to allow students to develop at their own pace and with their own style. 

​

I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and teaching for over 15.  I am accredited with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY), teaching regular yoga classes, workshops and the BWY Foundation Course 1 and 2.  I am also the Chair of the British Wheel of Yoga supporting other yoga teachers and practitioners in the UK.
