My schedule

I teach on Monday mornings at Avalon Yoga Co-op, offering Swiss Ball (the big fit balls) 7:30-8:15am, followed by Supple & Strong 8:15-9:30am. This is a yoga class focusing on asana, breath, and relaxation.

Both classes will be on 8 September but then I'm away, and will be back to teach on 10 November.

In my absence the wonderful Ally Lowbridge will take my supple & strong yoga classes, including on 1 September. There will be no swiss ball classes till I'm back.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like more info on my classes or if you have any questions.

Swiss Ball

The swiss ball class is where you’ll get fitter and stronger and have a good laugh.

Your balance, flexibility and mobility will improve, you’ll be challenged and maybe even gain insights into yourself.

I try to focus on it being fun and serious at the same time, with good spinal alignment, posture and breathing.

My yoga history

I have been practising yoga since 2002.

That was after I’d herniated a couple of discs in my neck. Several people that I hardly knew separately were saying “try yoga”. It felt like the universe was ganging up on me, forcing me to realise that something needed to change in my life.

So I started going to yoga. With skilled, aware teachers including Carolyn Harris, Rick Birrell and Sylviane James among others I really enjoyed the philosophy, breathing and physical practices.

After a strong asana, pranayama and meditation intensive with teacher Rick Birrell in 2014, I realised that my office based work as a town planner was no longer suitable for my body.

A week later I resigned, and soon after started yoga teacher training. Since then yoga has become an essential part of my life.

I completed my yoga teacher training with John Ogilvie at Byron Yoga Centre (500 hours) in 2014 and 2015.

I am also certified in yin yoga (100 hours), meditation (50 hours, also at Byron Yoga Centre), iRest (Level 1) and yoga philosophy through the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies.

I offer a blend of asana, breath, philosophy and meditation, with lightness and humour.
