I have been practising yoga since 2001. Initially inspired by a friend’s demonstration of a sun salutation, I was captivated by the grace and fluidity of the practice. I still am. In 2004, I was lucky enough to spend three months in south India practising under the guidance of Sharath Jois (grandson of the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois) who now runs the Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI) in Mysore, India. Practising in a small group of just ten students, my time in Mysore was an invaluable experience. I have also attended workshops with highly regarded Ashtanga teachers such as John Scott and David Swenson. For many years I was a student of KPJAYI authorised teachers Bev Sowerby and Simon Chandler and latterly with Sheridan Forbes in Bath.

​

In recent years, I have explored other styles of yoga attending classes and workshops with Debby Wilkinson. This has broadened my understanding of yoga and helped me to find a softer approach to my practice.

​

I have found that practising yoga has had far-reaching effects both on and off my mat, and this is what compelled me to take up teaching. My aim is to make yoga accessible, and to encourage students to move beyond its purely physical aspects.
