Teacher Details

I have been practicing Astanga yoga for five years now, I qualified as a teacher in December 2011. I teach two classes a week in St Ninians Church Hall in Edinburgh the class ranges from 15-30 people between the ages of 18-60 . I also have experience teaching private and small groups, tailoring routines to suit the individual needs of each client(s). I am a graduate of Paul Dallaghans 1 months residential RYT 200+ hr Foundation training at Centred Yoga in Koh Samui, Thailand. During the training programme we focused closely on every aspect of ashtanga yoga so I have a detailed base knowledge of everything from the history and philosophy of ashtanga to pranayama and meditation techniques and of course an in depth knowledge of each asana.
I am a passionate teacher and a creative class planner. I am a strong communicator and I try to relate and connect to each one of my students. I love teaching Astanga however, I can also teach restorative and conditioning classes depending on the needs of the students.
My own practice starts with an hour of pranayama and I like to incorporate some gentle breath work into the beginning of the classes that I teach as I believe it creates positive energy and a calm environment.
I have just started out on this path, however I am very hard working, professional and sincere in my goals. In addition to teaching my own class I can provide cover for classes or help with adjustments in mysore or lead classes.
