Yoga for Life
Ashtanga Inspired Yoga to help develop strength, balance and flexibility - of body and mind - wherever you are in life, for the rest of your life.
About me
I have been practising yoga for nearly forty years, including a dedicated Ashtanga yoga practice since 2013, and I have been teaching since 2019.
I am certified to teach by the British Wheel of Yoga and have completed well over 800 hours of teacher training, including a two-year 350-hour diploma at the former Triyoga in London, 300 hours Advanced Teacher Training from The Shala, London, 120 hours of Ashtanga Teacher Training with David Swenson, and 40 hours of Ashtanga Primary Series teacher training with Scott Johnson as well as numerous other trainings. I have also studied yoga philosophy extensively with Daniel Simpson. I am passionate about the study and practice of yoga, on and off the mat.
This passion has been nurtured by many wonderful teachers over the years, with particular thanks to: Inna Costantini, Nea Ferrier, Andy Gill, Scott Johnson, Petri Raisanen, David Swenson and David Garrigues. I hope I can share some of this with you.
About Ashtanga Yoga
The Ashtanga Yoga method was developed in Mysore, India, in the early 20th century and is characterised by a set sequence of postures and transitions which are synchronised precisely with the breath. The sequence can be modified to suit the individual and gradually becomes more challenging as the student becomes more practised.
In my Ashtanga Inspired Yoga classes, I honour the overall method and framework of Ashtanga yoga, but I adapt the sequence and poses in various ways to best support my students and their lifestyles.
