QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
I am a Somatics Exercise Coach and certified Yoga Academy teacher, accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) and Yoga Alliance. I have been practicing yoga since the late 1990s. Over the years, I have explored many different styles of yoga (Ashtanga, Sivananda, Iyengar, Scaravelli etc), many of which have inspired my teaching. I firmly believe that yoga and Somatics are a fantastic tool for our health and wellbeing. It is about resetting ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally to become whole as one.
