n help you to release burdens and stress from daily life to restore peace, harmony and order.’
Yoga has been in my life for 15 years and I have continued to grow and learn how our mind-body connection affects us. The physical body unlocks by the use of breath, movement and stillness, it unlocks our energy flow. I have progressed from dynamic flow yoga, which taught me a great deal about our own ebb and flow o energy, to a more restorative and therapeutic yoga style. Using therapeutic movements including mobilising, stretching and strength postures I continue to teach and use yoga in my own, unique way. I use the seasons, the transit of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, in my yoga teaching and in my personal practice. We all live a busy and stressful life and I have found the use of slow and mindful yoga practices help to de-stress and re-align the body and the mind which then unlocks our own inner strength and flexibility without force. Throughout my childhood, I took part in many sports, including dance and fitness. Due to my active background, I have always enjoyed the benefits of movement and wellbeing. My teaching journey started in the fitness boom of the eighties, teaching fitness and movement locally. When my children were younger, horses were a large part of our lives. This is where I started to discover and learn how Reiki healing energies affect us all. Becoming a Reiki master and teacher opened my mind to the spiritual side of life. Fascinated and intrigued by this outlook, I began practising Ashtanga Yoga which led me to study, qualify and, finally, teach Hatha Raja Yoga in 2010. Having gradually developed a more personalised Yoga system that is both restorative and therapeutic; I now practice these methods regularly in both private and group sessions. I have always found beauty in the many forms of art; from sketching to painting in acrylic. Through my love of art and my spiritual walk of life, I began creating mandala art. This form of meditation has shown me a visual and meditative window into how we feel and see ourselves. These beautiful creative art circles are relaxing and therapeutic to draw, paint and of course, view, given their mindful properties. I have been drawn to stones and crystals because of their beauty for as long as I can remember. Only since the start of my spiritual journey, did I discover that they hold a vast range of properties; from power to serenity. Connecting with crystals, I can meditate to support mental, emotional and even physiological healing in either myself or others. Crystal energies help me every day during my meditations and musings to create an overall sense of wellbeing. Because of my love and appreciation of crystals, I wanted to begin passing these healing properties onto others, so I opened my own little crystal shop where I pride myself on my understanding, knowledge and personal experiences of the crystals.
