I am the founder and principle of this 550hr Yoga Therapy training course. In 2015, I set up the first British Wheel of Yoga foundation courses in Yoga Therapy and in 2020, I accepted the offer from BWY to build a British Council of Yoga Therapy, fully accredited 550 hours professional training course in yoga therapy.

I have practised yoga since 1983 and became a BWY certified yoga teacher in 1998. I started working in NHS in 1991 as an occupational therapist using yoga as a therapeutic intervention for people suffering from a variety of physical and mental health conditions as well as for NHS staff in the occupational health department’s ‘Back to Work’ scheme. I trained as a Mindfulness for Health (MBSR) teacher and having worked in mental health services and forensic psychiatry, I specialise in working with yoga therapy clients suffering from mental ill health and the impact that stress and trauma places on the mind and body, as well as clients with cancer, chronic fatigue and a multitude of other health conditions.

I believe that lifestyle management is key to creating health and wellbeing. I am passionate about Nature, the natural process of life and empowering people to heal themselves naturally with the wisdom and teachings of yoga therapy.
