Vinyasa Flow | Slow Flow | Yin Yoga | Yoga for Runners | Meditation

I'm a yoga teacher, teacher trainer and a keen runner, based in West London.

I came to yoga about 15 years ago when I was looking for an intense, all-encompassing physical workout to complement a high-impact Taekwondo training regime. Although I discovered yoga through asana, I stayed with it (or rather, it stayed with me) because of the more subtle aspects - the pranayama and mindfulness. The combination of movement, breathwork and meditation had a deep and lasting positive effect on my mental health and well-being - something that I was surprised and delighted by.

On a side note, I noticed that after a couple of years of asana practice, the back pain that I'd been suffering from on and off since my late teens was entirely gone. Magic? Probably not. The physical practice of yoga involves all parts of the body working together in a balance between strength and flexibility, effort and ease. When you power this movement from deep inside with your breath, wonderful things can happen.

Listening to the body, observing the mind in all its randomness and seeming uncontrollability, knowing when to ease off or when to push on a little bit - these are things I have learned, and am constantly learning, through teaching and practising yoga. It's a joy and a challenge to take these lessons into all areas of my life. My other passion besides yoga is running and I'm fascinated by the positive impact the two disciplines can have on each other, both physically and mentally.

I would love to work with you either at one of my regular public classes, or in a private session, to help you discover the many benefits of incorporating yoga into your life.
