I’ve been teaching Yoga for over 15 years and in that time have studied over 1000 hours of certified training with some of the worl'd’s best Yoga teachers including Leslie Kaminoff (Yoga Anatomy), Tiffany Cruikshank (Yoga and Chinese Medicine), Polly Realf (Iyengar Yoga) , Christopher Wallis (Classical Tantra Yoga), Amanda Morley (Dynamic Hatha).
My mindfulness training has included decades of studies and practice in both Yogic Meditation and Buddhist practices. I’ve also attended the Oxford University Mindfulness Summer School.
To complement my Yoga Training I qualified as a Trauma Informed Psychotherapist in 2021 and have since completed further studies in Internal Family Systems Therapy including a return to Oxford to learn from the founder Richard Schwartz.
Alongside my pursuit of Yoga, I trained as a scientist at university and gained a Masters in Sustainable Development which led me to a career in wildlife Conservation, Climate Change Adaptation and Humanitarian Response.
It’s from this breath of personal experience and professional training that I deliver this 50 hour training. I have a deep understanding of what it can cost to work in a profession or calling that can cost you mentally and emotionally if you’re not taking care of yourself too.
With my interdisciplinary skills I have the ability to make complex concepts digestible enough to understand, simple to apply to daily life and fun to learn!
I can’t wait to begin this learning journey for you. I’m confident it will change your life and prepare you for a lifetime of supporting others to change their lives for the better too.
