about ME
As a yoga teacher and therapist I guide others down the path of discovery that yoga provides. I’ve taught yoga since 1999 and lived the simple lifestyle in London, Stroud, Gloucestershire and now West Wales. Growing up naturally attracted to the arts, I danced professionally and reached ballet majors, sang and painted my way through childhood and onto college for an art degree where I considered a career in textile design, fashion and eventually an art historian. Asian and oriental art became a specialist subject. I came across mandalas and yantras - the geometric designs and patterns used in Hinduism, Buddhism, yoga and Tantra as a focal point for meditation. It took fifteen years from here to bring it all together and find my path.
An unexpected offer of a six month job came my way, which unknowingly, changed things. An unplanned gap year took me to Japan for a short dancing job, with plans to post grad in textiles on my return. But I stayed in Asia for 8 years, living mainly in Hong Kong, where the seed for the wisdom of the ancient asian philosophy took root. I worked as an artist/account manager in advertising for 2 years and taught some dance classes, but it was fine art that moved me so I pursued a career in the Health and fitness Industry, first as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, then into managing and setting up gyms around South East Asia.
Back in the UK, and living in London a friend lead me to a personal development course which morphed into life coach training eventually bringing me to yoga.
I support my health with regular acupuncture, study astrology, numerology, Human Design, and Gene Keys, all of which inform my work. Long walks with Pearls my dog, friends, and continual practice, and training heal and continue to inspire me.

Relax
If you become conscious of it, evolution - or any change - cannot happen without the necessary energy. Yogic relaxation is a concentrated form of rest and the charging force behind it. Do you know what parts of you need rest? Step 1, re-learn relaxation, a simple common sense way to joyful, healthy living. It will release tensions and spontaneously lead you into profound stillness deep within - the foundation for all yoga practice.
-
Reflect
Do you know you are literally sitting on an endless untapped source of energy called kundalini - your own power source. You don’t need to get it from outside of yourself. When you organise and hold your focus for a substantial amount of time you plug into it, a door opens and everything can be explored: all internal movements directly observed and experienced, reflected on, understood and refined. If you are deeply involved in something, focus naturally comes.

Refine
If you are alive and energetic liberation is a natural longing. If you long for it consciously it may find fulfilment. If you go through the life process unconsciously you may get lost in it. So what is binding you? What is compulsive in your life? What are you entangled in and currently limited by? If we unlock like this, layer by layer, you will become alive and energetic again. The highest and most important human value is freedom, and anything other than this causes pain.
