For years, I balanced a demanding career as a Human Resources Consultant with motherhood and my personal well-being. My journey into Yoga and Pilates began as a quest for physical healing, especially after surviving a cycling accident. But what started as a physical transformation soon revealed its profound impact on my emotional and spiritual well-being. The sense of gratitude and reverence I felt towards Yoga turned it into more than a practice—it became a way of life.
​
In the comfort of my own home, I noticed my youngest son imitating my Yoga postures. Observing the positive influence Yoga had on him at such an early age inspired me to deepen my commitment. I pursued specialised training in children's Yoga at The Tree of Life Centre under Jessica Wingate. Since becoming a fully qualified and insured "Children Do Yoga" teacher in 2017, I've been passionate about guiding young minds towards self-awareness and inner peace through Yoga.
​
This initial focus on teaching children propelled me towards broader horizons. I completed a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Vajrasati Yoga School in the summer of 2019. I am now wholly dedicated to evolving within mindful practice and cultivating an inner sanctuary of peace, which I aim to share passionately with others.
​
In the past, I taught weekly classes for children, teenagers, and adults at the Tree of Life Centre in Hove; however, as of September 2020, I've expanded my reach by opening a unique venue and yoga studio at our family estate in Pickwell, Bolney. This picturesque location aims to draw Yoga enthusiasts from the city's hustle and bustle into the nurturing embrace of the Sussex countryside. Here, practitioners can immerse themselves in their practice, connect with like-minded individuals, and even conduct their own classes, workshops, and retreats.
