ABOUT ME
I used to work in the city, at times focusing on the superficial whilst ignoring the things that are really important. I took a chance and let go of my past with all its trappings and discovered yoga. This has led to a fulfilling career in the fitness industry. I am a qualified yoga, pilates instructor and a personal trainer.
​
I trained in India, not just on the physical technique of yoga but also on the holistic benefits, such as coping with stress and anxiety. This has helped me cope with personal grief after my partner suddenly died. I learnt whilst it is not always possible to control what happens on the outside, with yoga you can help control what goes on in the inside.
​
My individual approach to fitness is not only on the physical benefits but also on the total wellbeing, technique, whether it is used in a strengthening or stretching exercise is very important in order to develop a strong & safe practice, avoiding injuries. I can coach anyone from beginners to advanced levels in yoga, plates and fitness.
​
Available for online classes in groups and one to one.
