I have practised yoga for over 20 years, and trained as a Sivananda Yoga teacher in 2002. After teaching general classes for some time, I was diagnosed with MS in 2007. My interest then grew in practising and teaching yoga more gently. I trained to teach yoga to people with MS in 2010, and taught at the MS Therapy Centre in Warminster. I am also a qualified Yoga Therapist, having done my training with the Devon School of Yoga.
I'm based in Staverton, Wiltshire and firmly believe a little bit of everything balances you out - red wine, steaks covered in stilton, loud music and Yoga with my children make me one happy Yogi. I aim to make my classes accessible to everyone so all levels are welcome; my approach to Yoga is relaxed and fun.

You are advised to be well hydrated before practising hot yoga, so drink plenty of water prior to the class and try to avoid caffeine. During the class, take frequent sips of water and drink more water after the class ends. You will need a towel and preferably your own mat for hygiene reasons, although mats will be available if required.
