I started practising yoga to relieve the symptoms of much illness after the birth of my son. It certainly worked and after a couple of years I began practising Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga under the guidance of world-renowned and certified ashtanga yoga teacher John Scott, completing his ‘Advanced Ashtanga Intensive’ in 2007, his ‘Ashtanga Vinyasa Intensive’ in 2008 and his Training for Teachers, Level 1, in July 2011. I am fully qualified and insured  with the British Wheel of Yoga  after having completed their 3 year teaching diploma study course through BWY diploma tutor Swami Vivekananda Ma (Val Davies), being awarded their Teaching Diploma in 2009.  I completed the Ashtanga Yoga 'Primary series Teacher Training Course' with Manju Pattabhi Jois  2010/11. I am also a member of REPS (Register of Exercise Professionals).

My inspiration for sharing the practice comes from my teachers, John and Lucy Scott, but I have also had the benefit of practising and studying with Sri K Pattabhi Jois (‘Guruji’ - founder of Ashtanga), Sharath (director/grandson) and Saraswati (daughter), when they visited London in 2005. I have also had the benefit of attending workshops with Manju Jois (son of ‘Guruji’), Danny Paradise, David Swenson, Lino Miele, Mark Whitwell, Richard Freeman, R.Alexander Medin, Swami Nityamuktananda Saraswati, Reema Datta and David Keil. I also completed ‘The Art of Adjustment’ Ashtanga Teacher Training with Mark Freeth in 2006 and ‘Anusara Module 1 – Teacher Training’ with Bridget Woods-Kramer in 2004. I continue to learn this amazing practise and how to take it off the mat, from many, but much gratitude goes to my teacher John Scott, my family and my dear students....all of whom inspire me to keep learning and sharing the way of yoga everyday.

I run regular Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga classes and workshops in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.
