How I became a Yoga teacher - most unexpectedly! ...

A couple of years ago, I had no idea I was going to be a yoga teacher. Sure I loved yoga, had been practising for years and found it a lifesaver when life got stressful. But I didn’t think I was “good enough” to teach. That was for other, more athletic people.

But towards the end of 2017, things mysteriously began to fall into place. I had left hospital midwifery due to the stress and frustration of a system which didn’t allow space to give women the care I believed they deserved. I had thought midwifery was my dream career, but it hadn’t worked out the way I’d hoped. Health visitor training offered a new direction, but I missed the intimacy of supporting women through the intense experiences of pregnancy and birth. I knew I had more to offer.

And then one winter’s day in Wales, I was looking through old yoga magazines, and kept seeing ads for pregnancy yoga teacher training. It was a lightbulb moment. Here was a way of combining my love of yoga with my deep desire to work with women at that most special time of their lives. I knew from my own practice that yoga is an incredible resource for managing whatever life throws at us. I knew that yoga for pregnancy and new mothers was going to be amazing.

That was the beginning. After that, everything began to fall into place really fast. I wanted to make gentle and accessible yoga available to everyone, not just pregnant women, so I began by training as a specialist yin and restorative yoga teacher. I found a beautiful village setting, and The Calm Space Yoga launched in Stock, Essex in the summer of 2018 with a series of chilled out yin workshops.
