I am a senior level (500hr International Yoga Alliance accredited) yoga teacher, and regular practitioner since 2000. My classes are based on classical Hatha Yoga, Dynamic Flow and Restorative yoga practice and philosophy. Meditation and breathing techniques are included in each session.

Inspiration is drawn from eastern sources as well as modern psychological thought. I have experienced the strong discipline of eastern yoga teacher training, been inspired by great practitioners teaching here in the West, and worked my way through a series of foundation, intermediate and advance teaching courses.

I teach with the bigger picture in mind: we’re doing Yoga so that we can find and experience an optimal state of being, and have a wider positive impact on the community.

Session description:

I teach in a way so that yoga’s therapeutic benefits are optimised. I encourage fluidity of movement and thought – even when holding still in a posture, we can breathe life into the body and explore on a non-verbal level.

At 12 years old I won a prestigious scholarship to study dance and a place at Ballet Rambert. Professional performances include the E.N.O. at the Coliseum and the BBC. My search to increase strength and stamina led me to yoga, a practice that ebbed and flowed in and out of my life for 20 years before I started teaching.

I created Pure Balance Yoga for busy individuals who want to restore some balance to their lives and maximise their health, fitness and mental wellbeing.

With the frenetic pace with which we live our lives today, it can be a real challenge to manage stress and combat fatigue, (when this happens it is easy to forget the most basic function and breathe properly).

Pure Balance Yoga will help you to establish a healthier relationship with your body, strengthening your muscles, working on postural alignment and balancing your energy so you are better able to cope with life’s stresses.

Practising a pure and authentic style of hatha yoga, including breathing exercises and relaxation techniques will impart you with more energy, more flexibility and strength, and leave you feeling mentally more fit.

As well as being a yoga teacher for Google, many large companies and individuals in the film and finance sector and Sweaty Betty ambassador. I am also a qualified hula-hoop instructor and loving mother to a one-year old Frenchton puppy called Byron.

Qualifications:

Sivananda yoga siromani & Jivamukti certified 300-hr teacher

Years experience:

5 years
