sittingbourne yoga
I started going to yoga classes when I was just 16, tagging along with my Mum
who had been going for years to her favourite teacher Sam. Yoga stayed with me
throughout my adolescence, and I always found a class wherever I was, whether at
University, on holiday or when I moved away from home. When I settled in Kent, I
found an amazing teacher, Rebecca Papa-Adams, who was teaching at my local gym,
and I was hooked, I went to yoga several times a week, practiced at home and
started becoming interested in the non physical side of yoga. Rebecca convinced
me to start my teacher training, even though my immediate plans included
marriage and babies. I began my 500 hour teacher training with the British Wheel
of Yoga in 2015, shortly after I got married, and unbeknown to me I was already
pregnant on the first day of teacher training. I studied for 2.5 years with the
British Wheel of Yoga and formed an amazing circle of mentors, teachers and
friends throughout that time. I ended up studying and teaching throughout both
my pregnancies, which added a whole other dimension to my journey. Seeing the
amazing physical and mental effects of yoga whilst being pregnant encouraged me
to begin pregnancy teacher training in 2019 soon after my second baby was born;
he even joined me on my teacher training days. Yoga provides a lot of different
things for different people, but for me it has been present for most of my adult
life keeping me grounded, physically mobile and calm. It's opened my mind to
other areas of health that I would have never explored otherwise. It's not about
being the most flexible or being able to meditate for hours on end, but having
strategies and coping mechanisms to live a happy and vibrant life. The classes I
teach all include an element of strength, so that when you do stretch, its safe
and controlled. I'd love for you to join me at one of my classes, whatever stage
you are at.
