About
My yoga journey began in 1973 when I learned and started to practice both transcendental meditation and yoga.
These became my lifeline to handle the stresses of working in the movie business, where between producing films, I participated in courses, including Thai yoga massage, Ayurvedic medicine and lifestyle, Shiatsu massage and foundation NLP, in addition to attending retreats, workshops and spending time studying in India in 1988.
I undertook my British Wheel of Yoga training with Tara Fraser and in 2000 began teaching private clients.
In 2016, I embarked on a deeply spiritual course of Integral Hatha Yoga founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda and led by Rev Padma Devi, working through the koshas and branches of yoga, including philosophy.
In 2017, I started teaching at Thaxted Yoga, and in December 2019, I became the owner. I took over the studio filled with optimism to grow the business, create a safe space and bring our community together for yoga and friendship. I am happy to say I feel we have achieved this in many ways, and I am proud to have seen the studio and our yogis through Covid - a tough time for all of us.
In May 2023, I made the tough decision to close the studio at Hammer Hill Farm.
I now run yoga classes from nearby Little Easton Memorial Hall, as well as from my home shala in Duton Hill. I also organise events and workshops in the local area.
People make places - so let us continue our Sangha... Om shanti shanti shanti.
