I am a Senior Yoga Teacher within the Vajrasati school of yoga, accredited with Yoga Alliance 500-hour Teacher Training Plus, teaching since 2006. Inspired by a desire to work deeply and therapeutically, both in classes, workshops and 1-2-1s as well as in applied bodywork, I have also studied extensively as a Therapeutic Thai Massage practitioner.
I also edit and co-author books on Yoga and teach courses with Charlotte Watts at Yogacampus in London. My most recent book is Yoga & Somatics for Immune & Respiratory Health, (2022, Singing Dragon). Buy here.
I am passionate about yoga in a holistic sense: the relationship between asana, mantra, pranayama and meditation (body, mind, breath and sound) practice on the mat and developing a deeper sense of connection, centre and space beyond. Yoga, in this sense, informs the way I try to lead my life, parent my children and respond to the world; with open awareness, ease, generosity, acceptance and non-judgement.
This ethos is core to the online communities that I run: Please do like the Centred Space Facebook page or Follow @centredspace on Instagram.
Before I taught yoga, I worked as an editor in women’s magazines, and have written articles on conscious parenting and yoga for various magazines and websites such as Red, ELLE and The Guardian, and have edited a number of yoga books.
