My Yoga History
 
When I started regularly practicing yoga in 2004 I found that going to my weekly yoga class really helped me get through a busy working week by reducing my stress levels and giving me a calm space.

In 2006 I began studying yoga in more depth by taking the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course and my passion for yoga has only thrived since then. In December 2006, I began training for the British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma and I completed this training in July 2009. I'm now a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga Teacher. 

I have been teaching yoga since May 2007 and I hope to share with others the positive experiences that I have gained from my own practice of yoga.

 
My Style of Yoga Teaching


My style of yoga is what is know as viniyoga. Viniyoga means the 'application of yoga'. My teaching focuses on the co-ordination of breath with movement which helps connect mind and body, helping to calm the mind of other thoughts. The postures I teach are aimed to help create strength, flexibility and balance. I strongly encourage students to work within their own limits because this is how benefits are achieved and I will modify or suggest alternatives when needed.

My classes are aimed at beginners and improvers so instructions and demonstrations are given fully. It is a relaxed atmosphere where questions are invited if you have them. Remember, you don’t have to be flexible to do yoga!

 

 

My Thai Yoga Massage History

 

I first discovered Thai Yoga Massage at a yoga festival in 2007. I went to a workshop and we learnt a few techniques and practiced on each other. I instantly feel in love with the massage, it was so complementary to yoga and made me feel great.

 

In 2008 I found two great teachers and started my training which was a long but great process. I had to do over 30 case studies, then took a practical and written exam early in 2009 to qualify to practice. I now hope to share this wonderful massage with people and spread the word of what a great form of massage it is.
