About Me

I have been practicing yoga for 14 years and teaching for 6 years.

I hold a Level 1 Yoga Teacher Trainers Certificate (Registered with Yoga Alliance) and am working towards an Anusara Inspired qualification.

I have studied with senior teachers of various styles including:

Iyengar: Rudra and Pankash (Risikesh, India), Gen Ceresoli (Aus.), Judi Sweeting and Tig Whattler and Richard and Kirsten Agar Ward. For more information on local Iyengar teachers see www.swiyengaryoga.uk.net

Ashtanga: Vijay (McLeod Ganj, India) and teachers from YogaArts (Aus.)

Free flow Vinyasa: Edward Clarke of Tripsichore, www.tripsichore.com, Elizabeth Connolly and Lucy Roberts (Aus.)

Anusara: For last 4 years I have been practicing Anusara yoga under the guidance of Bridget Woods Kramer, www.omshop.com. I have also studied with the founder of Anusara yoga, John Friend.

Pranyama: My main pranyama teachers have been Clive Sheridan and Rose Baudin (Aus.)

Pregnancy and Mother and Baby Yoga: After the birth of my daughter in 2009 I felt that I wanted to offer yoga techniques to family at this time of change into pregnancy and motherhood. In 2009 I trained with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli (SitaRam Partnership) and Peter Walker (Developmental Baby Massage.)

As an interest in yoga leads to an interest in meditation, I try to meditate as much as a busy life allows. I have sat courses in Buddhist mediation at Tushita Mediation Centre (India) and I regularly sit and serve on Vipassana mediation courses.

I am a Registered General Nurse. I hold a Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology and several qualifications in massage: Dip. ITEC in Swedish massage, DIP BRSNT and Cert. BRSNT in Deep Tissue massage, Cert. Inspire in Sports massage, Cert. Inspire in Indian Head massage, Cert. Sunshine Massage School and Cert. Nerve-Touch in Thai massage.
