MY TRAINING

FOUNDATION TRAINING

I completed my foundation training course in Ashtanga & Yin Yoga Teacher at Bristol School of Yoga in December 2018 with Melanie Cooper.  During this course, I studied the main elements of both yoga disciplines as well as developing a working understanding of human anatomy and physiology (as it relates to yoga practice) and yoga philosophy.

MY TEACHERS

Always a student ...

I am so fortunate to have studied with and benefitted from the extensive knowledge and wisdom of my teachers: Sarai-Harvey Smith, Melanie Cooper, Scott Johnson, Sarah Vaughan & Joey Miles. I am deeply indebted to them for guiding me on my yoga journey.  

​

My particular heartfelt thanks to Sarai for the safe space she provided for me to grow, heal and acknowledge who I truly am.
