About me
I attended my first yoga class with the inspirational Maria Santangelo in my early thirties, nearly twenty years ago.
It quickly became a favourite time of my week as I started on my personal
journey to reconnect with my body, turn down my racing mind and explore how to bring about more balance to my life.
"Sthira sukham asanam"
Strong, steady, stable
(Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 2.46)
My first teacher training was for me, completing a second in 2015 which gave me the tools to share with others. I've enjoyed taking regular classes since moving home to the Highlands in 2017.
In February 2024, I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to study and passed the 40-hour Menopause Yoga teacher training course with with Petra Coveney, supported by Foundation Scotland's Education and Training funding.
"Chitta Vritti Nirodhah"
Cease the fluctuations of the mind, and act from a place of awareness and observation.
(Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1.2)
The specialised yoga practice combines western science with eastern wellbeing, adapting yoga poses (asana) and breathing (pranayama) to bring a positive holistic approach to women's wellbeing.
It has helped me to continue on my own unique menopause journey, and given me some extra tools in the toolkit to use and share! #self-care #safe #supported #signpost to other services (Samadhi)
I'm currently considering how to integrate my learnings to share. Please do reach out if your interested in future classes and workshops by completing a new student registration form or contacting me direct.
