After a four year degree studying French, German and Spanish - I decided the
obvious thing to do next was teach English in Japan! Random - but I’m so
thankful I made this decision: because it was my introduction to teaching and
set me on the path as an educator. 3 years later, I trained as a yoga teacher in
Scotland, before moving to Cornwall and deciding I wanted to be a Primary School
Teacher. I wanted to share with kids so much about life and the world! Teaching
was, admittedly, harder than expected. I loved elements but hated others. I’d
always prioritised my health and wellbeing - but I found myself becoming
stressed like I’d never experienced before. I know now that if I’d have
continued to prioritise my own wellbeing, not only would teaching have been
easier - but the children would have also benefited so much more. This is one of
the key reasons Class Yoga is here: to raise the wellbeing of educators, so that
the pupils benefit in turn. (Listen to more on this, here.) I believe we need to
look after our own wellbeing to raise the wellbeing of our pupils I started to
share yoga when I could. I got to see what worked and what didn’t; and I got a
glimpse of some promising results. But when I left full-time teaching and
started supply (and sharing more yoga) I started getting called back - to teach
yoga! Because now the clear evidence, of greater calm and focus in children in
the classroom after yoga, was shining out! So began my calling to teach yoga to
more children, in more schools. Over this time, I developed and refined my
method of teaching mindful movement to children, that I still teach and train
others in, today. You can transform your classroom & young lives through
authentic & beneficial mindful movement
