In general, yoga really is something that can benefit EVERYONE!

Yoga begins as a physical practice and filters through into every aspect of your life. As you gain strength and flexibility in your body, so you gain these qualities in your mind.

Yoga balances the body and the mind. It balances the masculine and the feminine, the right and left sides of the brain. When your inner self is balanced, you are better equipped to make the right choices in life, for you. Yoga helps you to get to know who the real you is.

A major part of my yoga classes is Pranayama, or breathing techniques. Learning to use your breath in different ways will give you tools to deal with life in a different way. Certain ways of breathing will energise and invigorate you, other ways will relax and centre you. Sometimes you can clear blockages in your organs, and even your chakras, by breathing in this amazing life force, called Prana.

My classes begin with an opening relaxation, a flowing yoga practice followed by pranayama and a longer relaxation or meditation to close.

Pregnancy yoga classes also include antenatal information or discussion, where participants are encouraged to share experiences, and ask questions, with a friendly atmosphere where it is easy to make friends with other mums to be.

My Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Classes are £8 for 60 minutes.

Private one to one yoga starts from £40 for 1 hour. I provide all equipment and design the class around your needs.

I am a qualified yoga teacher practicing in the North London area, especially Barnet, Totteridge, Whetstone and Finchley. I first found yoga in my early twenties, and over time fell in love with the practice and what it gave me. The more I practiced the more I developed personally, and after a very special experience in Costa Rica I decided that I would study and practice yoga to a much deeper level, which has led to my teaching.

I now teach Hatha Vinyasa Yoga (Vinyasa simply means... flowing with the breath) and also Pre and Post natal yoga following the birth of my daughter in 2009. I believe that the regular practice of yoga not only helped me to conceive but also helped my pregnancy to be enjoyable, with minimal aches and pains, and although it can’t be proven, I love to believe that yoga had something to do with my daughter’s contentment and easy-going nature! We have been amazingly blessed. Now, with another baby due October 2010, I am enjoying sharing my pre-natal practice with the group of ladies I teach in North Finchley.

I also teach privately in people’s homes on a one to one basis. This method of teaching is especially beneficial to those who may not feel ready for a class environment, perhaps those with an injury or special condition which requires attention that cannot always be given in a large group. Private sessions are tailor made for the individual according to their needs.

I am loving the continuous cycle of learning, practicing, teaching, learning and I love to share with others what I find along the way.
