Teacher Details

With a background in gymnastics and a training and career as an Actor ( predominantly in Physical Theatre), I have worked professionally in a body related field for 17 years. I have always been preoccupied with the physical! My work has always involved Yoga but it took on a totally different scale when I met Mark Freeth, the teacher who seamlessly married my previous physical disciplines with Dynamic Vinyasa Krama Yoga! I have now had yoga as a practice for over 4 years and completed my teacher training with Mark this Spring (2011).
I teach at a Drama School in Brighton, offering Yoga as part of the students core fitness training and use it as an integral part of any Physical Theatre and Movement workshops that I run.
I think of the practice as a moving meditation. It develops physical alignment for good posture and physical awarness for agility and economy of movement. Marrying the breath and movement (Vinyasa) develops mental presence resulting in mental and emotional clarity. Overall it generates a feeling of wholeness, not to mention the endorphins that flood your body and create an amazing high! The practice is dynamic enough to satisfy any need for a deep muscular stretch and mental cleansing. It can be modified to suit all levels.
I have a hands on, encouraging and enthusiastic teaching style. I work from a genuine enjoyment of moving my own body and a desire to share what I've discovered! Other influences include, Ed Clark, Digby Platt (Ashtanga) and Angelika Grohmann (Iyengar).
