Running is my passion. It has played a very important role in my life over the years – managing stress when I worked in a corporate world, improving self-esteem when I was single, making new life-long friendships when I moved to a new country… and then meeting my wonderful husband (who too, is a runner). I have been fortunate enough to have many doors open for me through running – one of which was to represent Great Britain in the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in 2007. A dream come true and one that fills me with great pride. Later in life I was blessed to have a gorgeous little girl (Jessica is now 3yrs old) - this made me reflect on the importance of managing a balanced lifestyle for both myself and my family. I retrained as a personal trainer with the aim... Read the profile >>

Qi Yoga
I began working in the body-mind health field over ten years ago when I trained as a remedial massage therapist at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. At the same time I had the equivalent of my “first kiss” with yoga sitting in a community class at Yoga Source learning Ujjayi breathing. It transported me into a place of stillness and expansion that guided me through my first ever Ashtanga Primary Series. As a ballet dancer since the age of five I felt I’d discovered the most amazing dance that followed the music of my breath and internal world...and I was hooked! Since then I’ve worked with hundreds of people therapeutically as a remedial massage therapist, gaining first hand experience with a myriad of physical pain, postural issues and energetic stagnation. My love... Read the profile >>
Yoga has been my life partner for about 12 years now, 12 years of romance and love, challenges and trust issues, passion and power and a whole lot of and boom boom pow! As an outdoorsy person, my life has always been in tune with nature and when I started yoga I did so because I had beaten my body up with hard core outdoor training and snowboarding, thinking – I need some balance. The love affair kicked off! I started exploring and I found myself walking down little alleyways leading to Bikram, Hatha and Power Vinyasa (as the full on adrenaline seeker that I was!) and as I made my way through these alleyways, more and more curiosity emerged. Yoga for me has always been an adventure of happiness and love and when I started my Hatha Yoga Teacher training love really started to flow... Read the profile >>
