Based in Whitstable I've been practising yoga on and off for 20 years. Pre kids it sporadically helped me manage my London advertising lifestyle, while post kids (past 6 years) it has been a much more constant feature in my life helping me through the challenges of creating 2 children, keeping alive 1 dog and setting up an events business and working with my husband since 2011.


Throughout 2016, faced with different health issues with our kids (anxiety, asthma and partial deafness), I've constantly searched for holisitic approaches to the different concerns we were facing and in each instance found yoga in children to be highly recommended. I also found myself becoming more and more concerned with the pressures on children through the educational system and seeing the knock on effect on childrens mental health. Unable to find a local 'Kids Yoga' class in the area I ended up sending a long begging letter to the fabulous Emma Epton of Whitstable Community Yoga explaining our challenges and asking for help. Emma was fabulous and we embarked on private 'Mum and Daughter' yoga classes in Jan 2017. Within weeks there was a remarkable difference as to how my daughter was dealing with her anxiety - the transformation came about by her embracing the power of the breath and the effect it has on the body when using different poses to help manage her anxiety. It soon became second nature to see her burst into 'The Tree' down the wine aisle in the local Sainsburies or cross her legs, close her eyes and put her hands into the Gyana Mudra in the back of the car so as to ignore her Dad's driving.

Leaving the event business for my husband to run at the beginning of 2017 so as to be more hands on with the kids, I decided to explore further the power that yoga could have in childrens lives and have not looked back since (apart from when doing a Marichi's pose). Totally convinced that yoga should be a feature in all childrens lives, I decided to follow my heart and prana and throw myself into my dream - to set up a Yoga School for children and young people. The vision being to provide a resource for mums, dads and carers looking for holistic ways to heal, empower and strengthen their children. And also a resource for children - to show them just how amazing life can be when we feel truely happy.

I initially completed the Foundation Teacher Training course with YogaLondon (March 2017) and then was accepted onto the prestigious Teaching Yoga To Children course at TriYoga and was trained by one of the leading voices in the ever growing childrens yoga niche, the brilliantly inspiring Susannah Hoffman (May/ June 2017)

I'm now a fully trained childrens yoga teacher (2.5 years - 12 years) and an affiliated member of Yoga Alliance UK. I'm fully insured. Throughout 2018 I will be completing my 200 hours teacher training and will be introducing teenage classes (up to 18 years old) and parent and child classes to my weekly schedule.

I can't quite believe my luck and feel truely blessed to have this opportunity. I owe nearly all of this to my long suffering husband, who now practises yoga in the evening with me to help him deal with all the different facets of my personality. That, though, is a different story and yoga class altogether... !!

Welcome to our family's yogic journey.
Namaste.
