After 30 years in the corporate world, I became a yoga teacher.  I had practiced yoga consistently (4-5 days per week) for 6 years from age 50 when I decided that I would train to be a yoga teacher.  I didn't know exactly what that meant, I just knew that I wanted to learn more about yoga and to share that knowledge with others.

Since qualifying in early 2019, I have been teaching as much as possible.  I just love it.  First, I taught alongside a full time role in market research -- the industry where I spent 30 years working within.  Then at the end of 2019, I retired from the market research industry to dedicate myself to teaching yoga full time.

Teaching includes learning, as I learn so much each and every time I teach a group class or private session.  I also learn when I practice in another teacher's class (online or offline), as each yoga teacher has a different background and style with which they teach. 

I offer both online and offline group classes, as well as online and offline private sessions.  For online, I use zoom so that I can view and feedback to each and every student as we progress through the session.  I limit group class sessions to 10 so that I can maintain the small class feel online.

For offline, I have a home studio in Bramley Village which has vaulted ceilings, infrared heating, LED lighting, oak wood flooring, outdoor deck/stream/garden views, DoTerra essential oils, and all props including bolsters, pillows, blocks and straps.  I have a max of 7 in each group class session, maintaining the small class feel.  I also teach classes and workshops at various yoga studios throughout the Guildford area.
