I have been practising yoga for over 15 years, I was drawn to yoga in order to improve my flexibility and more specifically to help with my surfing. Somewhere along the journey I found that as well as increasing my suppleness and strength, a calming of the mind and an inner stillness were a natural by-product of a regular yoga practise. 

 

Inspired to deepen my knowledge and share my love of yoga with others I travelled to India - the birthplace of Yoga, where I completed my 200hr Teacher Training at Sampoorna Yoga Village in Agonda Beach, Goa, specialising in Ashtanga & Vinyasa flow yoga.

​

As a beach lifeguard, of 30 years experience, I have natural affinity with the coast and love to be by and on the sea, I have been a beach lifeguard trainer assessor for over ten years and am a STA level 2 open water swim coach, ISA level 1 surf coach and WSA Stand up paddle board instructor. I completed my SUP (stand up paddle board) yoga teacher training in Malta during September 2019. 

​

I believe that as a yoga teacher you never stop learning and alongside reading as much as I can, I also regularly attend courses to further my understanding of yoga. I trained in Yin yoga with mindfulness with Paula Ahlberg of the yoga teaching academy in November 2019. During the first lockdown of 2020 I completed my children's yoga teacher training with Children's Yoga Tree. During 2022 I studied with Andrew McGonigle delving deeper into yoga anatomy.

​

I have a degree in Sport & Human movement studies, have always had a fascination with the human body and how it works, I love to see the benefits of Yoga both physical and mental in my students.

​

I look forward to seeing you on the mat or Paddleboard!
