The inspiration for my teaching comes from several different yoga traditions. I work with a Vinyasa Yoga style, linking movement and breath in a dynamic flowing sequence.

 

I have been lucky to have experienced the teachings of many wonderful teachers throughout the world and through them have practiced  Ashtanga, Atma Vikasa, Iyengar, Hatha, Vini and Yin yoga. Rather than dogmatically follow any one particular sequence of postures, I like to draw on all these influences to keep the practice engaging.

 

I completed a degree in physiotherapy in 2004 and this has led me to a deeper understanding of the anatomy and alignment of the human body. Further study of anatomical principals with Paul and Suzee Grilley helped to refine this broad knowledge and make it more relevant to the practice of yoga. I focus on elements of strength and alignment in my classes as the basis for a strong and injury-free yoga practice.

 

I have also studied massage, reflexology and Thai massage and bring elements of these practices into my workshops.

 

My thanks go out to the many teachers who have influenced my personal practice and my teaching: John Scott, Dena Kingsberg, Liz Lark, Acharya Venkatesha & Acharye Hema, Rolf Naujokat and Christine Howitt.
