Yoga Teacher since 2006-original cert Iyengar yoga, Senior Teacher Yoga Alliance Professionals see "About", Yogabody Breath Coach, Pelvic Health Coach with Adore Your Pelvic Floor, Birthlight Baby Yoga Tutor. My yoga teaching certificate was gained from the Edinburgh Iyengar Yoga Centre in 2006 and I have taught yoga as my main occupation since that time. Since leaving the Iyengar Association, my
teaching has been influenced and guided by ongoing training with more senior teachers, my personal practice and my continuing studies of anatomy, breathing and pelvic health. I am passionately committed to the huge and fascinating subject which is yoga. I teach group yoga classes, workshops and private 1:1 sessions by arrangement. I have been fascinated by anatomy, breathing and movement for over 20 years and hold diplomas in Swedish and Sports & Remedial Massage. As well as teaching yoga, I also work to promote education and discussion around women's pelvic and menopausal health. Being a coach with Adore Your Pelvic Floor provides me with access to current research and advice from some of the UK's top Pelvic Health Specialist Physios. AYPF holds regular CPD sessions on topics associated with pelvic health and dysfunction. I run 5 week AYPF pelvic health education courses in groups (online) or on a 1:1 basis (online/in person or a mix). I am a Birthlight baby yoga tutor and run classes in Inverness.
