My career has been pretty varied: teaching maths in secondary schools, being a class teacher in a middle school, teaching English as a Foreign Language to adults and working with home-educated children within a small school project (an amazing experience). And of course, teaching yoga (since 2002). Now I am lucky enough to teach yoga in a beautiful studio at the bottom of my garden in Chichester.
Yoga is an age old practice that benefits the human body on many levels. The speed and business of life today means it is ever more important to find a healthy way to release stress and relax the mind and body. Yoga is an excellent choice for everyone, as it has far reaching benefits for all. Adults, Young people, Children, Pregnant and Postnatal women can all benefit from yoga.
What is Yoga? For complete beginners, yoga is simply a series of postures (asanas) which improve health and wellbeing in an holistic way. Regular practise of these postures will stretch and strengthen every muscle, use all your joints through their full range of movement, massage your internal organs and improve your circulation, hormonal system and breathing capacity. The word Yoga however means to unite. In practising yoga, one is on the journey to uniting body, mind, intellect and soul.
There are many ways in which Yoga may be defined. It is a scientific method of self-development, a holistic practice for the mind, body and soul, and a science of life. Yoga originated in India about 5 thousand years ago, and has been practised daily as a spiritual discipline by those seeking a deep understanding of themselves and of the world around them ever since.

Vinyasa yoga moves steadily from pose to pose in sequences of movements synchronized with the breath, often pausing to hold poses for various lengths of time while maintaining the rhythmic flow of the the breath. Unlike most approaches to hatha yoga, which have a fixed system, vinyasa yoga is not a system.
