Therapeutic Yoga
My curiosity about yoga began when my mum took me along to her evening class - I was 12 years old and as soon as the lesson began I felt that I had ''come home" - I began reading of yoga philosophy as well as other spiritual, philosophical and poetic works slowly coming to realise the enormous depth and wisdom of these ancient teachings.
British Wheel of Yoga
I originally trained with the British Wheel of Yoga in the 1980s completing my teacher training course and going on to qualify in an additional module taught in conjunction with the Royal College of Midwives to teach yoga for pregnancy.
Yoga Biomedical Trust
Students began to request individual tuition tailored to particular health problems and so, in response to this prompting, I enrolled with the Yoga Biomedical Trust in London to train as a therapeutic yoga teacher giving me an understanding of western medical practice and the skills to adapt classical yoga to functional and organic disease.
The Yoga Biomedical Trust is involved in on-going clinical trials measuring the efficacy of therapeutic yoga techniques in conditions such as Diabetes, Asthma, I.B.S, M.S, as well as back pain and anxiety related disorders/depression.Working with referrals from GPs and other health professionals as well as by recommendation, I am able to offer people of all ages and states of health a program of yoga practice specifically designed to meet individual needs.
