I have been practising yoga for over 20 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 practice. 

 

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, with 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. In January 2025 I completed Menoyoga® yoga for menopause teacher training with Sally Parkes Yoga School.

​

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!

My love of yoga began around ten years ago when I started practising yoga regularly. I realised how wonderful I felt afterwards, both physically and mentally and I was hooked!

​

My practice increased during lockdown and gave me the focus I needed during a very unusual time. it was during this time that I decided to take my passion for yoga further and train as a yoga teacher, completing my 200hr yoga alliance teacher training in June 2023. Yoga is a continual practice with so much to learn! I am currently studying to add an extra 300 hours to my yoga training and recently completed a certification in Yin Yoga.

​

My classes focus on connecting the mind and body through movement, as we focus on the breath to guide us through our flow. I like to end our practice with deep relaxation, letting stillness replace movement. this allows the mind and body to calm and fully restore, creating a moment of space in our busy lives.
