My first experience of yoga at the age of 16, ignited my interest in holistic care. I will always remember the feeling I  had when I left my first class - calm, alert and refreshed.
Practicing yoga has enriched the lives of many people. It has provided  me with a set of tools to help keep my life in balance and I have been very lucky to have had such excellent tutors as I explored different styles of yoga over the years. I finally settled into the practice of Hatha Yoga and then trained for three years to become a teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga.
 
After the BWY training, I specialised in Children's Yoga, attending the BWY children's yoga module with Swami Vedantananda. The course material and Swami Vedantananda's teaching totally inspired me. So much that I am teaching the BWY module to diploma holders!
Before training as a yoga teacher, I practised holistic health care for 22 years as a registered general nurse (RGN). I developed skills in counselling, health promotion and health education and I trained and practised in a range of complementary therapies, including holistic massage, Indian head massage and reflexology".
