- Creation of themed classes to focus on ‘problem areas’ as well as dynamic flowing sessions.
- A very strong grounding in Ashtanga yoga, which is utilised to create powerful classes with an essential element of fun.
- Knowledge and interest in all aspects of yoga; anatomical spiritual, and emotional whilst keeping all teachings based in the reality of day-to-day life!

During my time here at The BodyHoliday I have been responsible for creating, presenting and marketing a wide range of group classes and private one-to-one tuition. Each of my classes has its own distinct theme, and the timetable I have created features sessions which are suitable for everyone from complete beginners to experienced yoga devotees. My previous experience as a Public Relations and Marketing Consultant has also been called upon as I have been using creative techniques to promote my one-to-one tuition.
