Here are a few of my webdesign projects. If you would like to discuss creating a new site or updating an existing one, please get in touch.
I'm a Hatha yoga teacher. I have been practicing yoga for 12 years and completed my teacher training with Narayani Rabinovitch in 2001, and a further course at the Sivananda Vendanta yoga centre in Orleans, France in 2003.
I have developed an approachable, relaxed and flowing teaching technique and a strong personal style based on the Sivananda system, but also incorporating the work and inspiration of other teachers.
My teaching focuses on increasing flexibility and strength, building stamina and improving posture, as well as deep relaxation and developing a balanced, mindful practice. I believe in empowering students to develop their own practice; to explore yoga through their own personal experience, to be curious and to approach their practice with a sense of adventure.
I am always a student and in turn hope to bring a sense of working together with my own students. For me the physical yoga postures remind me of the feeling of fun and adventure we had as kids when fear didn't prevent us from turning upside down or bending backwards (or at least having a go). I work towards bringing this sense of safe exploration and awareness to my classes.
I teach in London at the Central YMCA and for various private health clubs. I have corporate and one-to-one clients. I taught DV8 Physical Theatre in London, during rehearsals for the tour of their production 'Just for Show'.
My classes are always led by my own practice and learning. I draw on my experience of Sivananda, Ashtanga and other styles of yoga. I teach safely, with a knowledge of the physical postures and their benefits and impact on the body. I adapt my classes for all levels of ability.
