I'm passionate about the wonderful tools of yoga and how they can help people with their lives, health and relationships. And it is to this end that I am now concentrating my efforts on becoming a yoga therapist.I have now returned to England to a part of the country where there is a scarcity of this yoga tradition, my home county of Lincolnshire, nestled in the wolds. And it is here that I am offering classes in local studios and gyms and personal practices for those who’d prefer something a little more bespoke.Apart from yoga my life up until rather recently was full of nursing, I’m a Registered Nurse having worked in many specialties including intensive care, cardiac, respiratory, district nursing over the last 25 years. There are many things I have learned in nursing and I feel the most important lesson is that more and more illness is associated with disease of the heart and mind. Stress and anxieties appear to be part and parcel of the modern human condition, so now rather than being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff so’s to speak I am turning to a more proactive and holistic approach with yoga. When we engage with yoga it can help retrieve us from the precipice, bringing us closer to our self and create the space we need to appreciate such a gift.
