I have been practicing yoga for more than 20 years, and teaching for 10.  My training is in the Satyananda (Bihar School of Yoga) tradition, which places particular emphasis on developing awareness and self-acceptance, using practices to influence and harmonise all levels of the personality.  I have also completed specialist training with Birthlight and the British Wheel of Yoga to teach yoga to pregnant women and to mums and babies.  On my own journey as a mother of two young children, yoga has been a huge support.  It offers us simple, profound and systematic practices which can nurture, heal and transform us, and so help us to meet the demands of pregnancy, birth and mothering with an open heart.  We are the best yoga students at this time - and our babies are our greatest teachers!
