A former Nurse and CivilServant I discovered Yoga after a recurrence of Breast Cancer in 2016. I used gentle movement, relaxation, mudras and meditation to support my recovery. My yoga mat became my sanctuary and remains so to this day. I am one of just over 300 Zenways trained teachers of yoga. This foundation enables me to teach Hatha and Zen Yoga, to take a spiritual and holistic approach to my teaching. I have subsequently trained to teach Yin Yoga to complement the muscular strength that traditional yoga achieves with the nourishing and strengthening of connective tissue in the body, whilst tuning into the rest and digest mode of the Parasympathetic Nervous System. I also support women during and after pregnancy to find comfort in body and mind, through modified movement and relaxation, individually or in a supportive group setting. I love to teach beginners and introduce them to the magic that is Yoga. Enabling them to recognise that the practice has something to offer everyone and is not just about the poses. Through my teaching, I aim to improve the health and well-being of my students, with a particular focus on reducing tension and anxiety to support both body and mind.
