My first experience with yoga was in a small community class when I was living in London in 1999. It really helped my body with the stresses and strains of a sedentary desk based office job. When I moved back to Scotland some years later I took a 2 year part time teacher training programme, left the office job and leapt into the world of self employment. I've been teaching yoga full time since 2007 and studied with many teachers both internationally and locally. My practice and teaching continues to evolve. Yoga has helped me to stay present, it has taught me to tread lightly on this earth. My intention is to offer you a welcoming space to move and breathe and experience for yourself what yoga can do for you. I encourage you to show up as you are with whatever else is going on in your life and see where this journey takes you. I'll be here to help you along the way.
CERTIFICATION
I am eternally grateful to the teachers who have influenced my practice and teaching the most: Tara Fraser at Yoga Junction, London; Pete Blackaby in Brighton and Nicole Marcia (Trauma Informed Yoga, Vancouver, BC). I was introduced to meditation by Clive Holmes at Samye Ling Buddhist Monastery many years ago in Scotland.
Currently I'm learning more about more natural movement and biomechanics from movement educator Katy Bowman (Nutritious Movement), the sustainable, modern yoga approach with Brea Johnson and Detour Method with Cecily Milne all have given a new and valuable perspective on yoga and movement.
I am forever a student on this path.
