I came to yoga several years ago looking to improve a painful back and quickly developed a passion for classical Hatha Yoga. I then decided to do yoga teacher training and spent one month in Bali with the Akasha Yoga Academy, completing an intense but rewarding course in 2017.
I now teach Classical Hatha yoga classes face-to-face in West Sussex, UK. In addition, I offer one-to-one personal yoga.
In November 2023, I completed my 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training (again with Akasha Yoga Academy online) which enables me to teach pranayama, yin yoga and meditation.
I enjoy podcasting and publish MatChat™ with Mina Podcasts where I talk to interesting people from all walks of life about wellbeing – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
I have published Not for the last time, a spiritual journey book I wrote after suffering a difficult bereavement several years ago. It's the uplifting story of how I found hope, courage and strength, including finding yoga, and ultimately discovering self-empowerment and joy. It's available on all Amazon markets worldwide including Amazon US and Amazon UK.
When not writing, teaching or broadcasting, I enjoy walking in the local countryside with Barley, my constant canine companion.
