I have been practising and working with yoga since 1978, in parallel with my career as a shiatsu bodywork practitioner and teacher of shiatsu and experiential anatomy. I have a passion for working with the body and during this time I have studied with some of the leading bodywork, body-mind and movement teachers, including Saul Goodman, Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen, and Gabrielle Roth. I currently attend a Gabrielle Roth 5 rhythms group in Hastings, continuing my involvement with dance and movement.

I have explored many different styles of yoga but for the past eight years I have been a student of yoga teacher John Stirk, who worked directly with Vanda Scaravelli. I find his way of working suits me, allowing me to find my own pace, build up my core strength and maintain flexibility. John's unique way of teaching has been influential in the development of my own style.
