I have been practising yoga for 10 years, it is very much part of my life and I am passionate about sharing yoga with the world.
About 4 years ago my practise was revolutionized by the discovery of the work of Vanda Scaravelli and her book “Awakening the Spine”. Her work focuses on combining breath with movement, our vital life source, purifier and connection with spirit. Also on the spine and creating space in the body, on grounding connecting with gravity and allowing the body to release tension as the asanas are practiced. Vanda’s work also applies this ancient practice to our western bodies. Movement in the asanas becomes freer and spacious.
So I went to London’s Moreley college to study for a 3 year btec in the teaching of yoga with tutors who had been lucky enough to work with Scaravelli. The course has been wonderful, a real journey and I have nearly finished.
I have travelled in India many times and studied at the Sivananda Ashram in Kerala.
I began teaching yoga a year and a half ago. Teaching has always been my passion; I have taught young people drama for many years. I love to share my knowledge and understanding with others and learn so much from my students too.
Yoga is a gift; a science of the inner world of body and mind consciousness. The word means unity, uniting our mind, body and spirit, creating harmony and balance. It is a great opportunity to undo tension, relax and focus the mind, increase strength and flexibility in the muscles and joints. Yoga can help to keep us young and allows us to find relaxation and peace and a connection with the divine.
I teach 2 classes at The Fold a week and feel very honoured to work in such a magical place. The classes run on Monday and Wednesday evenings 7-9pm. I am also available to teach one 2 one sessions.
