I sometimes wonder how something that started as a bid to alleviate stress turned into a full time job. My love of yoga grew and I spent more time practising yoga and less time focusing on my then stress fueled job in Corporate Sales and Marketing.
I am now a full time Hatha Yoga teacher, advanced reflexologist and Healer (trained with the Institute of International Holistic Therapists) with nine years of experience. Accredited by and registered with: Yoga Alliance 200, Yoga Academy and British Wheel of Yoga. I teach adults and children all over Kent, run workshops for the Healthy Schools programme, the Foster Services Associates as well as weekly classes in conjunction with the Phoenix Prison Trust (teaching Yoga and meditation in local prisons). I presented a thesis to the Yoga academy in 2007 on Yoga as an alternative to psycho stimulant drugs for children and young adults with ADHD. I try to incorporate my findings from that thesis when teaching vulnerable groups.
I teach a Vinyasa flow style of yoga with a Ying and Yang influence drawing upon the teachings of , Sarah Powere Paul Grilley and  Simon Low (with whom I did my teacher training). I thank  Maharishi Mahesh Yogi  for his great wisdom and truth and Mark Whitwell with whom I have had the privilege to practice. I personally practice at the Jivamukti Centre whenenever I can and thank David Life and Sharon Gannon for there inspirational teachings ……..and for allowing the spirituality of Yoga to be openly embraced.
I have studied the maharishi teaching of transcendental Yoga for 10 years incorporating the study of the ancient Yogic text, the Yoga sutras Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita.
My aim is to pass on the benefits of Yoga in a safe and inclusive manner. My teaching focuses on developing healthy body mechanics, awareness of the breath (pranayama) and an awakening of our subtle energies to balance and strengthen the body, together with deep stretching to release tension from deep within.
I seek to include not exclude, making my Yoga suitable for all levels regardless of age, injury and flexibility – from beginners to intermediate. My sessions are fun and challenging, including Asanas (postures) pranayama (breath work) and yoga nidra (deep relaxation) to promote holistic well being, strength and flexibility of body, mind and spirit. My teachings are diverse – from special needs children remedial students with cancer to Yoga Holidays in the Spanish mountains, Turkey, Northern  India and beautiful country retreats in the United Kingdom.
