Yoga has been my passion for several years now. I discovered it by accident and straight away I noticed the difference from just a 60 min class and I became fascinated!  

Yoga quickly became a regular part of my life. It began to be my go to. Whenever I needed to go inwards, to ground myself, to recharge, to unwind, to quieten my mind, to find peace or just to feel good - I hit the mat. Aside from that, as a runner at the time and also an office worker, I also noticed the benefits in my posture and from stretching out my muscles. My practise started to become more regular, until when visiting Mysore itself I developed a daily practise. My practise now consists of the full primary series, combined with elements of the second series every morning. It has become like brushing my teeth - a regular part of my day.

In the end, just practising was not enough for me, I wanted to teach, so that I could pass on the benefits to others. I went to India, the birthplace of Yoga and studied my 200 hours teacher training at Sampoorna Yoga School in Goa, qualifying as a teacher of Ashtanga and Vinyasa, from there I completed my 60 hours teacher training in Yin Yoga. Always a student, I have gone on to complete my 300TT specialising in Mysore Ashtanga teaching and have travelled to India to study under yoga masters in Mysore for one year. I will be going back to India once again this year, which will be my 8th yoga related trip to India. I am passionate about spreading all I have learned.

The benefits of yoga to my well-being, mentally and physically still amaze me and I am so grateful to be able to share this with others, by offering Yoga classes in Maidenhead, Berkshire and surrounding areas such as Henley and Marlow.

Looking to gain flexibility, tap into your inner peace, or just take time out for you? Get in touch and contact me. I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
