I am a trauma informed yoga teacher, sharing practices since 2000. My mission is to deliver accessible and inclusive yoga to everybody and every BODY! I strive to empower people with the tools to manage their lives on and off the mat and to feel better in their own skin.
I deliver regular weekly classes, yoga teacher training (200 hour and 300 hour) and 100 hour CPD in Yin and Restorative yoga teacher training.
I have been practising yoga since the late 90's and sharing the teachings of yoga since 200. I turned to Ashtanga Yoga to help support a herniated disc sustained through professional ballet training where I discovered the compassionate, healing benefits of a yoga practice. I delight in the gifts yoga offers on so many levels.
Training in the Viniyoga style with my main teacher, David Charlton with whom I continue to study with regularly, I am hungry to learn more and share the joys of all aspects of yoga.
These days my practice works around meditation, chanting, breathwork and gentle asana practice. My main passion for years has been practicing and sharing the joys of Yin and Restorative Yoga.
I have made a specialism in teaching Yin and Restorative yoga. Over the years I have qualified in teaching yoga to children, to children with special needs and people living with cancer. I have trained with some of the worlds most prestigious teachers including David Swenson, Max Strom, Joey Miles, AG Mohan, Judith Hanson Lasater and have assisted and co led Mysore programmes in London where I lived and worked for 20 years.
I strive to make the ancient teachings of yoga accessible to all whether I am facilitating weekly classes, teacher training programmes or workshops.
I live near Edinburgh with my husband and kids and our whippet River. To wind down, Ilove getting into nature whether I am walking, cycling or in the kayak and being with our children who we home educate.
You can find me teaching in Edinburgh at Hillside Yoga Collective/Ashtanga Yoga Edinburgh and LIla yoga.
