I have been practising yoga for over 15 years and teaching for 10 years. My teaching is informed by my personal practice and study of yoga which has over the years embraced many branches of the yoga tree, including Astanga and Iyengar. Because I work closely with individuals, we tend to decide together which type of yoga is most appropriate.

We found the shala in 2005. Guruji was in town and after we picked him up from the airport on a snowy March morning, he did a small puja, blessing our new space. Six weeks later, having had Dave the builder pull it to pieces and then re-build, while Anna gave birth to our lovely daughter, Talia, we opened with samosas and tea. We'd had other spaces but none that were ours 24/7. All the students were so happy with the new space, though it soon gained a ‘lived in' look.
