MY PATH TO YOGA
My Story
Finding Calm Through Movement
As a hairdresser, I spent my late twenties and early thirties constantly on the go — exhausted, anxious, and always chasing the next thing that I thought would finally make me happy. My mind never switched off. That restless energy became my normal.
Yoga changed that.
Today, I feel more balanced, more present, and more at ease in myself. Yoga helped me calm my mind, reconnect with my body, and find stillness in the noise. It’s become a space where I can reset, breathe, and just be.
I first discovered yoga while recovering from sciatica — and it was a turning point. Through practice, I was able to heal without medication, which completely changed how I viewed my health and wellbeing.
Now, yoga is so much more than a physical practice for me — it’s a way of life. It’s how I stay strong, grounded, and centred, both on and off the mat.
You can experience this too.
It starts with small choices, made today — choosing to pause, breathe, and let go. Learning to relax in our fast-paced world isn’t easy, but it’s essential.

About My Classes
Simple. Supportive. Grounding.
My classes are designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and build strength — both physically and mentally. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced; you just need a willingness to show up and breathe.
I teach Iyengar-inspired yoga, a thoughtful and steady practice that focuses on alignment, balance, and awareness. It’s suitable for all levels, with plenty of options to make each pose work for your body.
Each class blends movement, mindfulness, and relaxation, leaving you feeling calm, open, and more connected to yourself.
Whether you’re here to ease stress, recover from injury, or simply carve out a peaceful hour for yourself — this is your space to reset and restore.
You’ll leave feeling a little stronger, a little taller, and a lot calmer.

QUALIFICATIONS
I am an Iyengar Yoga instructor based in the Marlow and Henley-on-Thames area.
I first discovered yoga in my early twenties, completing a general yoga teacher training course before being drawn to Iyengar Yoga. Under the guidance of senior Iyengar teachers Uday Bhosale and Sheila Haswell, I found that Iyengar’s precise focus on alignment gave me a much deeper understanding of asana (yoga postures).
Inspired by this, I began a two-year Iyengar Yoga teacher training with my teacher and mentor Sheila Haswell (CIYT). The training involved over 150 hours of practical tuition, as well as study in anatomy, asana, and pranayama (breathing techniques). In my final year, I also gained valuable experience assisting Sheila in her classes twice a week.
In the summer of 2019, I qualified as a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.
