Summary
I deeply believe in the power of yoga and movement and feel it is so important in the later stages of life. My years of experience have bought with them a development of many small modifications that can make yoga accessible to all ages and abilities.
One of the true joys in my life, other than my 2 girls, has been watching people benefit from their yoga practice. It has been a privilege to witnessed amazing changes in peoples wellbeing and state of mind.
Yoga is a joy and I am very passionate about sharing it with people who might feel like its out of their reach.
