Personal Statement
I bring the passion I have for my own practice into my teaching. Beginner or long-term enthusiast, if you’re looking to be challenged in a light-hearted environment, then mine is the class for you. Influenced by Bikram and Ashtanga, I aim to fuse a good old-fashioned workout with a deeply restorative practice in my classes. Focus is on core strength, proper alignment and direction of the breath, bringing balance, improved posture and new energy to the body and mind.
Having retired from 10 years as a Commodities Broker, I am now loving a successful business in fitness and the outdoors having pursued my dream of a career in yoga, food and fitness. When you meet me you will see how passionate I am about wellbeing and finding happiness.
