Wellbeing. I taught my first Yoga class Yoga in 2008 and founded Yogababe in
2010. I initially trained for 3 years (500 hours) with the British Wheel of Yoga
whilst I was pregnant and caring for young children. Naturally I adapted my Yoga
style to suit Conception, Pregnancy, Birth and the Postnatal period. I decided
to train with with Uma Dinsmore Tuli in Well Woman Yoga Therapy to help me
maintain equilibrium both in my personal journey and helping other women. I have
now completed many hours of extra study and training since so I can share Yoga
practices with you and help you on your journey.. "My Yoga is totally adaptable
and changes to suit whatever life brings me - it has helped me through
transformative times . I bring adaptability into my teaching - there is always a
Yoga practice to be had, whatever life stage you are at - whether physical
posture, meditation, pranayama, song..... I was introduced to Yoga as a child,
as my mother was also a Yoga teacher. But it wasn't until my early twenties that
I rocked up at a random class in London, on my office job lunch break. I began
to feel truly at peace and at home in myself on the mat. "I always said, I would
train to be a Yoga teacher if I was still unhappy in my office job at 30. In
fact, it happened way before that. I spent time in ashrams in India whilst
travelling - Auroville, Tamil Nadu and the Sivananda Ashram, Kerala - they both
taught me how Yoga can be 'lived' and it became an intrinsic part of my life.
After travelling, I started my teacher training course with Elaine Fletcher and
i haven't looked back. Having children transformed my practice and helped me
find solace and interest in the subtler Yoga practices. Stronger postures often
felt 'not quite right' especially when my body felt like it was giving up,
suffering from pelvic & back issues, fatigue & postnatal depression. I learnt a
lot at that time and now I am passionate in adapting Yoga practices to suit
every body and mind. I actively promote mental health and wellbeing as well as
developing self-awareness. Over the years I have taught classes in numerous
gyms, and Schools, and collaborated with organisations such as MIND, MS Society,
CoastNet, NE Essex Primary Care Trust and Barnardos.... "My personally practice
changes every day according to my needs. I love a bit of Yin Yoga and Ashtanga
Yoga and Yoga Nidra when i'm feeling exhausted....'
