I first explored yoga in a workplace Iyengar class nearly 30 years ago. I was not remotely flexible and remember having to use a virtual scaffold of blocks and blankets to get into alignment for some postures. A recurring back injury (I have multiple bulging disks in my thoracic and cervical spine as well as significant degeneration – see the photo!) began troubling me several years ago and forced me to give up the high impact sports that I had previously enjoyed. An MRI scan showed my spine to look like that of a 70 year old and each day began in pain and extreme stiffness. yoga-help-back-pain-problems I rediscovered yoga after a brief foray into Pilates and gradually found that my pain eased as my flexibility and core strength increased. Since I’ve been more in control of the yoga I do (as a teacher I’m obviously writing my own lesson plans), I’ve found my back has become incrementally better. All my classes are taught with an awareness of back issues. They all incorporate plenty of stretches designed to reduce back pain, and work to improve core strength. I will often plan a series of classes specifically for lower, middle or upper back pain. If you’d like to attend one just let me know! Always Teaching My obsession with yoga grew and I began attending multiple classes each week and travelling to workshops and retreats all over the world occasionally dragging my family with me (the photo here that you will see if you are viewing the website on a computer rather than a phone is of me and my son Alfie who is something of a calisthenics specialist). I’ve taught in virtually every other aspect of my life. I have a PGCE in adult education, have taught on University Masters courses (I’m a digital marketing specialist in my non yoga life) and have delivered business training in the UK and North America. Training to be a yoga teacher was therefore a natural progression albeit somewhat unusual to take such a dramatic career change in my 50s. Accreditation I have a 250 hour yoga teacher training qualification with Yoga Alliance and am also a member of the British Wheel of Yoga. I continue to hoover up whatever other yoga-related knowledge I can with specialist workshops covering a range of aspects from accessible yoga teaching to Ashtanga, Iyengar, Scaravelli-influenced approaches, somatic yoga, transformational breath work and deep dive retreats where just occasionally I attempt to simply “be” rather than striving always to learn. My teaching reflects the main styles of yoga that have influenced me and most weeks I incorporate some new posture or approach that I’ve discovered in a recent workshop. I hold insurance with Covea – policy reference COBI3200184XB. My classes are held in Henfield where I now live. My previous Rickmansworth classes are now taught by Annette Henn.

Hi! I’m Kate - mum of 2, yoga teacher, core and pelvic floor specialist. My mission is to get women feeling great in their own body, no matter what stage of life: pregnancy, postnatal, menopausal or anywhere in between. As a yoga teacher and core and pelvic floor trainer, I love blending these disciplines together as part of a holistic model of care. The breath, core and pelvic floor work together for optimal health.   Yoga increases strength and flexibility, and improves posture and balance. The breath can help restore core function - as you inhale diaphragmatically, the pelvic floor muscles naturally lengthen out and down, and poses like child’s pose can also relieve tightness.   Yoga improves the mind-body connection and decreases our fight-flight response; the pelvic floor responds best when the nervous system is balanced and we are calm. I teach friendly, relaxed classes that bring women together to enhance wellness and build a supportive community, with a strong focus on core and pelvic floor rehabilitation. The Breathe Principle™ is a 7-Step Plan to follow to help you fix your diastasis recti. It is not a 'spot fix' because assessing, treating and rehabilitating a new mum for abdominal separation needs to move away just doing tummy exercises. It needs a broader, full-body approach to get your system working and functioning in a more optimal way. My 7 Steps to Fixing Abdominal Separation method is based on a whole-body, ‘everything working as one’, proper unit-type system....
