I'm a fully qualified Yoga and Pilates teacher and Teacher Trainer living in Cheddar. I initially trained as a dancer and then spent 20 years working for arts organisations developing inclusive community projects. I have always enjoyed the feeling of finding freedom through movement, and through my career enjoyed working closely with people of all ages and abilities to increase wellbeing and creativity, and I now combine these passions in my teaching.
In 2015 I began my Yoga Teacher Training with Shelia Haswell, Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher, and have continued to develop my practice studying with experienced teachers such as Judith Hanson Lasater Ph.d, Wendy Teasdill, and Tias Little, and studying anatomy with Andrew McGonigle (Dr Yogi). I have a Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Mat Pilates.
I now teach vinyasa yoga – a flowing style of yoga where sequences of poses are linked with movement and the breath, my classes are varied and draw on all my movement experience in Iyengar (including restorative poses), pilates and dance. I have a strong interest in supporting older people and tailoring my teaching around individual needs. I believe that yoga, along with all creative activities, should be accessible to everyone and work to remove any barriers to participation.
