My Yoga Training

Specialising in general Hatha yoga with an electic approach.....

Having been practising yoga for 36 years - since attending my first class in Harborne, Birmingham in 1989. Special interests - lower back, breathing work, "real" yoga, how to factor yoga into everyday life.

Length of time teaching

The practice of yoga has been a comforting constant in my life - always in the background throughout my successes and failures, during times of joy as well as throughout difficult times. I have been teaching yoga since 2014 and I am planning new teaching projects on an ongoing basis. My interests are "Yoga for Back Health"; "Breathing practices/Pranayama"; "How to factor yoga into everyday life"; "Staying true to the teachings".

I draw on 36 years of practice and experience to ensure that the yoga is safe. The practice is not about trying to copy a pose that you have seen in a photograph - or indeed that someone else can do. I stress that yoga is not a "one size fits all" pursuit - rather, the aim is to be present, experiencing all the sensations that a yoga pose (asana) brings to the body and mind and to know how far to yield into it.
