My relationship with Yoga began many years ago.   Initially I used yoga as a fitness tool to stretch off after training sessions, but I soon started to find myself on the mat more and more often.  It was whilst living in New Zealand that I finally became hooked on yoga.  On returning to the UK I continued to teach in a secondary school as a French and German teacher, but after 15 years in education I decided it was time for a change.  I am qualified as a certified Yoga Instructor specialising in Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Yin Yoga but my interest incorporates many styles of yoga.  During the course of my studies have I developed a fascination with the philosophy and history of yoga, which offer an antidote to today’s technology driven, hectic and often solitary world. I am also a qualified Children’s Yoga Teacher, which seemed a natural transition after a 16 year career as a school teacher.  I feel blessed to have found yoga as it has made a profound difference to my life; I am more patient, tolerant and have found balance in my life.
