Welcome home to yourself!
I believe passionately that yoga has something to offer everyone no matter what age, ability, shape, size, experience or health condition. Over the years I have shared yoga and movement with hundreds of people who have benefited from my gentle approach in a myriad of ways. I am inspired by many schools and teachers but the following quote sums it up for me…
‘Yoga is an act of kindness towards oneself’ Judith Lasater
