Hi , I’m Angela, a part time biomedical scientist as well as a yoga fanatic, Mum and owner of a mad Springer Spaniel! Yoga is for everyone and there is a style/styles that will be the ‘correct fit’ for you. I encourage an embodied approach as this is the true nature of yoga, which means to yoke or unite. More than just posture (asana) work, yoga really begins with the breath which is used to connect the body, mind and soul ‘complex’. I have been practising yoga for almost 20 years and in December 2018 completed my 200 hour training in Ashtanga Vinyasa with Meadowlark Yoga in Edinburgh. In 2019 I completed Kids yoga teacher training with Cosmic Kids Yoga - which was a lot of fun! In 2020 I undertook Chair yoga training (for seniors and those with special requirements) with Yuva Yoga online, and in later in 2020 I completed a 100 hour Yin and Restorative training with Meadowlark Yoga. This year I qualified as an advanced Reiki Master and I am using this in my yoga teaching to enhance the connection between body, mind and soul. I am now a fully qualified and accredited menopause yoga teacher. The aim of this style of yoga is to support women in their 40’s and 50’s on their menopause journey by use of specifically designed sequences (which help with various menopausal symptoms), providing information about diet, complimentary therapies, journaling and discussion in a woman’s circle setting. I have recently finished my meditation training with Dhugal Meachem as well as a my first 50 hours of The Principles of Chinese Medicine - and am so excited to bring this to the classes that I offer - it has created some big shifts for me so far!"

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.
