Movement is for everyone

My mother's Parkinson's Disease diagnosis over a decade ago motivated me to study for a diploma in yoga therapy to help her and others with movement disorders. This personal experience also sparked a passion for chair yoga and adaptive movement so that more people can experience the benefits of the practices.

The yoga I teach is based on traditional principles of classical, integral yoga, which I discovered in my mid-20s. This holistic and balanced system develops all aspects of the self – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – and is naturally gentle and inclusive.

Over the years it has proved invaluable during challenging times, served as a gentle antidote to my fast-paced life and vigorous fitness training regimes, and had a profound healing effect on my nervous system. So I know it has the potential to help others.

Find your strong

The one thing that shifted my approach to fitness was strength work. After years of running races and marathons, it hit me in my mid-30s that I couldn’t do a single push-up.

With my 40s on the horizon, and aware of how women can lose muscle mass and bone density as they age, making them more susceptible to health issues like osteoporosis, I made a conscious decision to prioritise building a stronger body.

Getting involved in crossfit and Olympic lifting played a big part in my fitness journey, introducing me to new ways of moving, training and even competing. As someone who didn’t have a background in strength training, I understand firsthand what it’s like to build strength from scratch.

The process is gradual and might feel slow but every single session helps to future-proof your body, adding to your confidence, self-belief and overall wellbeing.
