I found yoga (or yoga found me) in 1999 when on a quest to study more about my roots (my father is from India and my mother is from England). This quest took me travelling around India on my own for 6 months.
Although I had been visiting India regularly from the age of 3, I hadn't grasped the yoga culture or even its practice…despite my half-Indian origins.
Whilst travelling around India, I stumbled across a yoga school in the far south and loved it… qualified as a teacher, stayed a further 2 years in the ashram to hone my skills, then taught on a nearby touristy beach for a further 3 years.
On my return to the UK I started teaching classes in Winchester (Hampshire).
In 2020 COVID hit and so many yoga teachers were forced online, I absolutely loved teaching online classes and have kept my teaching online ever since …
I have a very good tech set-up (surprising as am not at all techy) which means I use a good quality webcam to beam my classes out to your laptop/tablet or phone and I also have a very large monitor to keep a watchful eye on your practise and gently verbally correct where necessary. This set-up can be seen in the “Zoom set-up and classes” section of my Gallery.
I teach gently, with some humour thrown in and love to connect with my students at the start of class. We especially like to involve the pets… they love a bit of yoga and if they can sit on your mat/ chair to make yoga slightly more challenging then that’s what they like to do! They are very much part of our yoga family.
