Bio:

I am a Certified Level 1 Iyengar Yoga Teacher, currently training towards Level 2, and I have been teaching in Solihull and Birmingham since 2018. With over 15 years of personal IY practice, I began teaching Iyengar yoga after completing my training and have never looked back – I truly believe I have the best job in the world. I offer both in-person and online classes, from beginner to general level, running weekly throughout the year. My home studio in Solihull is designed for small groups, allowing me to give personalised attention to every student. I also teach as a cover teacher at David Lloyd and Bannatyne clubs. Balancing life as a mother to five-year-old twin boys, a photographer, and a former QA Engineer, I made the courageous choice to leave my corporate career to follow my passion for teaching yoga. This journey has shaped not only my teaching style but also the way I connect with my students. In every class, I focus on clarity, alignment, and steady progression. I offer demonstrations, clear instructions, and verbal adjustments so that students can deepen their practice safely and confidently. I honour the individuality of each person, creating a supportive environment where students feel seen and encouraged. To me, Iyengar yoga is more than a practice – it is an uplifting and joyful path that builds stability and flexibility, strengthens the immune system, and enhances overall wellbeing. Yoga is the greatest self-investment: a gift you give yourself to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
