Finding Yoga
My journey began in my teens, when I discovered yoga through accompanying my Mother to local Hatha classes. I found that yoga perfectly complimented my other love-dance, a relationship that began at the age of three. I explored other styles of yoga such as Iyengar, Bikram and Astanga, finding the later most beneficial for my demanding lifestyle.

I work as a professional Model, with ten years’ experience in the business. I entered the fashion world in 2002 where she gained the title of ‘The Face of Manchester 2002’. I found yoga a great antidote to the superficial realm of Modelling, at the same time as helping maintain a fit, healthy, slender physique.

I continued practicing Ashtanga, and after twelve years of dedication on the mat, and additionally embracing influences by Yogi’s such as David Swenson and Nancy Gilgoff, I felt compelled to trace the roots of yoga by visiting the place where it all began- India.

Teaching is one of my passions. Having taught at many dance schools in my career including Julie Colton’s School of Dance and Stage Coach, in addition to being one of the Creative Directors of Street Cheer, my path was clear, to continue my yogic journey via teacher training.
In February 2011 I completed my Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training (200 + hours) Yoga Alliance Accreditation, through the astute Heather Elton (www.eltonyoga.com) and Emil Wendel (www.beyondtheasana.com.)

Combining a modern contemporary outlook with the ancient teachings of yoga, I aim to present participants with an opportunity to reconnect to themselves and others in a new and intriguing way.

I also offer Nutritional Therapy. I hold a BSc majoring in Human Nutrition (MMU) and combined with Ayurvedic principles, I offer personalised plans to suit individual yoga and lifestyle needs.
