About me
I started attending yoga classes 15 years ago when I was training to become a social worker, I was finding the course stressful and found myself in my first, very relaxing yoga class with a kind and very warm 70+ year old yoga teacher.
I came out of the first yoga class feeling what I described as “floaty and light”, my mind felt so clear and I was able to “switch off”. This was something I had always struggled with.. I continued to practice most weeks throughout my training and enjoy the movement, meditation and relaxation aspect of the classes.
Following the completion of my studies in 2010, I went on to work in social work and my first job was incredibly stressful, leaving me feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I pretty much burnt out in 8 months and left the profession for a period of time, one of the things that kept me going throughout this difficult period was attending my weekly yoga classes with a new yoga teacher who was very kind and generous, also 70+ years of age.
My yoga practice has remained a constant in my life keeping me balanced throughout many years of challenging and stressful jobs in social care and social work.
During this same time working in social work and social care I was not feeling fulfilled or satisfied with my life and I had thought about backpacking and seeing the world for several years, but I had not been brave enough to do so.
Eventually after several years of thinking about it and not doing it, I traveled solo around South East Asia for 5 and half months and this gave me a new found confidence in what was possible and the ability to do something new and scary and be OK.
On my return from this life changing experience I knew that I had to make a change in mx career and teaching yoga was something I had thought about, although I was not sure it was something I would be able to do. I knew I wanted to help people and share this practice with others.
In 2014 I traveled to Goa in India to complete my Yoga teacher training 200 hours qualification with Trimurti yoga and on my return have taught ever since.
