I first started practising yoga in 1994. Like many students this was initially motivated by wanting to heal a 'bad back', plus some curiosity. I loved it!

My teaching journey began somewhat unexpectedly with a group of motorcyclists, when it became apparent that I knew some things that could really help this group of people with aching, battered and protesting bodies. I set up an impromptu class which was eagerly received, and so I began.

I am a fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, 500+ hrs (click here for more information) and also a certified BWY Foundation Course Tutor. (see separate page on the Foundation Course.)

I continued training with a number of modules in Yoga Therapy and Therapeutic application of yoga, with the Yoga Biomedical Trust and Yoga Campus.

• Yoga therapy - Doug Keller
• Para Yoga - Rod Stryker
• Iyengar Yoga - Aadil Palkhivala and Padmasimha
