I practise and teach Hatha Yoga in the Broadstone and Poole areas. Hatha means Sun and Moon and just like Yin and Yang, yoga is about balancing opposing aspects of our mind, body and breath to bring harmony. I trained with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2009 under Wendy Haring and Val Goodier.
I am a trained 'Yoga For Healthy Lower Backs' teacher for a specialised 12-week evidence-based course to improve back health and function. I have also trained in 'Yoga for Menopause', a specially adapted yoga practice to help all women with stretches, breathing practices and mindful meditation and I have further specialisms in Somatic movement and Yoga for Osteoporosis. I also teach 'Gentle Years Yoga', a modified chair yoga practice to older adults and those with injury and disabilities.
Yoga came to me when I was at Middle School in the 70's where to their credit they offered Yoga as an alternative to Cross Country Running. It suited me very well and I have been addicted to the health-giving benefits ever since!
I bring mindfulness and breath awareness to all my classes as they are powerful tools for bringing peace and calm to our busy lives.
I look forward to meeting you in a class soon.
