Debbie began her yoga practice nearly 20 years ago with Hatha Yoga, meditation and eastern philosophy study in India as well as UK, then used her practice as a means of dealing with injuries and enhancing performance during other physical activities. What began as a physical practice for strength and flexibility quickly became a lifestyle.

Website is being designed at the moment and will be posted once completed with full details of teacher training and yoga therapy training in UK and the Far East.
When asked what yoga means to her, Debbie says: “Through yoga, the impossible becomes possible. We spend so much time separating ourselves form one another. As we ascend the spine and descend the brain we become whole, or One. experiencing Oneness (yoga) is possible for all people regardless of their age, gender, skin colour and even their health. Steady practice is the key to success in yoga and health.”
Quoting, according to Sri BKS Iyengar’s words: “The body is the temple, the postures are the prayers.”
