Having been practising yoga for 34 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.
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.
I have previously worked as a Personal Assistant for various Executives and Directors, an Information Technology trainer and an Information Technology Support Officer/Facilitator.
I have also previously worked as a Piano teacher and taught the ABRSM syllabus preparing pupils for practical examinations, as well as teaching people to play for pleasure and teaching music theory.
