Classes
I teach regular classes in both Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. All evening and weekend classes are also on Zoom
Go to ClassesI found Ashtanga Yoga whilst travelling in India in 1999, little did I know then how it would transform my life. Since then the physical and mental benefits of daily practice have rewarded me, not only with strength, flexibility and focus, but, I hope, a more conscious way of interacting with other people and the world around me.
I didn’t decide to teach yoga, but it came to me, from being an assistant to my teacher, I was gradually being asked to teach more and more in classes. In 2003 I decided to dedicate myself to teaching full time. Over the years that I have been sharing this practice and the philosophy, I have seen many others also gain enormously from it. I want to continue to share these benefits with as many people as possible whether they be dedicated practitioners who want to study in the traditional Mysore method or those who feel that a little bit of yoga will help them in life. I treat everybody that walks in through the door as an individual so find ways of making this practice, although still challenging, accessible to all.

Ashtanga Yoga Mid Summer Celebration - North Yorkshire
+
In 2022 we spent a long weekend at Barmoor right at the beginning of spring, just as we started to emerge from winter. This time we'll be there at the height of summer - just before the summer solstice. We'll make the most of the long light days with morning yoga practices, hikes out into the north yorkshire moors, exploring just that little bit further afield to find cold swimming spots, early evening techniques workshops and evening hikes up the hill behind the house to watch the sun set. Nourished by fantastci seasonal plant based food.
For those who just need to do a bit less this is the perfect spot to chill out in, a big Victorian house, windows overlooking the moors, big gardens surrounding us and the pretty village of Hutton-le-Hole a short stroll away. Do as much or as little as you need to do - this is your mid summer escape.
