I teach a gentle, nourishing, ‘womanly’ style of yoga. In our practice we embrace what is to be a woman, in all aspects of our ‘changing’ cyclical nature and welcome all that we are in our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual body The yoga is non-traditional where I draw many styles and traditions that from the 40 years of practicing yoga. My formal yoga teacher training is in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, yin yoga and Tantra, all specializing in women (YA200, YA 100 hours + Tigress Yoga) I tend to use English terminology in my teaching, and minimize the use of Sanskrit, to make the yoga practice as accessible as possible for a broad range of women. My coaching practice draws on my professional experience and expertise, in psychology and education, and my life experiences as a woman.
