Biography

I first discovered Iyengar Yoga in 1998 when I was still very involved with sport. I found it really helped the back pain I’d been struggling with and also improved my sports performance. Slowly but surely, yoga took over and in 2016 I made the decision to take on teacher training to deepen my knowledge and improve my practise.

One of the things I love about Iyengar yoga is the mental peace it can bring, but I also love that as I get older and slower at other sports, I get better at yoga! I can do poses now that I couldn’t do in my 20s, and I think that’s an amazing testimony to Iyengar yoga.

I have also developed a particular interest in restorative poses and pranayama following a major surgery in 2020 which forced me to modify my practise for some considerable time. I came to fully appreciate the huge benefits of this kind of practise and I enjoy teaching restorative sequences in my classes.

I am part of the Glasgow Yoga Collective.
