Yoga Teacher/Therapist with 12+ years teaching experience

Advert description
Teaching a wide range of students, online, in hall, and 1-1; with particular specialisms in pregnancy, postnatal, elderly, disabilities, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, long covid.

Sessions are tailored for the student, including an eclectic mix of mindful yoga postures/movements, breathing patterns, meditation, visualisation, chanting and relaxation.

My love for Yoga began in the early 1990s, and I qualified as a Yoga Teacher with a Diploma from the British School of Yoga (BSY) in 2010. I have been teaching Yoga since then, and specialising in Prenatal Yoga since 2011, having studied under Louise Blades, a qualified Midwife and Yoga Teacher, and obtaining a diploma from the Inner Healing School of Yoga.
I obtained a NCFE Level 3 Award and Diploma in Pre-and-Postnatal Yoga from the British School of Yoga in 2014.
I take inspiration from many talented birth practitioners and mid-wives such as Ina May Gaskin, Gail Tully of Spinning Babies, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Janet Balaskas, Francoise Barbira Freedman, and Dr Gowri Motha.
I gained a Yoga Therapy Diploma from the Inner Healing School of Yoga in 2013, teach weekly sessions to people with Multiple Sclerosis, and provide yoga therapy for a wide range of other health issues. In 2021 I undertook extra training to help people cope with Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Stress/Burn-Out, under the tutorship of Fiona Agombar & Sarah Ryan, through the Yoga Teachers Forum.
I am a member of the Independent Yoga Network, the Inner Healing School of Yoga, and Yoga Teachers Forum. I continue to study this fascinating subject, and have been privileged to attend intensive teachings from Donna Farhi, Dr Timothy McCall, Philip Xerri, and many lesser-known, and yet equally valuable, teachers.
