Why chose me?
Let's be honest...
There's a huge number of yoga teachers out there!
It can take a while to find one that you align with and one that keeps you wanting more!
I know, I'd been to many yoga classes before I found my fabulous teacher, Pat!
Feeling a connection with your teacher is absolutely vital.
So, why connect with me?
I'm no gym bunny, I'm a bit of a hippy, I'm always me, and this I can promise you.
My focus is simple:
supporting women from peri-menopause and beyond with mindful movement; empowering every women no matter where they are in life's journey, no matter the fitness level; and nurturing a supportive community.
Who am I?
I am in my 50s and have been many things!
An award winning business women; a published writer; a primary school teacher; an auxiliary nurse; a yoga teacher!
I'm a mother, a mimi (a nanna!); a wife, a sister, a friend!!
I love Norfolk and Normandy; beach walks, mixing aromatherapy blends as The Twitchy Witch
(www.instagram.com/the_twitchy_witch) binge watching boxsets, writing, learning new things and drinking wine, oh and I love carrot cake!
What yoga qualifications do I have?
I trained as a level 3 yoga teacher (OFQUAL registered) with the YMCA, this is equivalent to 200HR of yoga teacher training.
I have undertaken certified Menoyoga training (with Sally Parkes) yoga specifically aimed at supporting women from peri-menopause onwards) along with pelvic health CPD; I love lymphatic work and am fascinated by fascia!
My remit is simple...supporting women in their transitional stages of life with fun but mindful movement.

What do my classes 'look' like?
I plan sessions in blocks of 3, around a theme; a 3 week block ensures the foundations and the alignments of postures are embedded in week 1; in weeks 2 and 3, you progress more deeply into postures - progression by repetition and practice!
I incorporate breath-work into all sessions, share learning that supports your understanding of yoga, add an earthy spiritual element, and last but not least, I make sessions fun!
DISCLOSURE:
I don't include headstands or those crazy full-on arm balances into sessions, I keep falling over! But I'm happy for you to share your skills with me!
Oh, and, arrive in your Pjs if that's what makes you happy!
Just come as you are x
