I  began practicing yoga in 1985 while studying for a degree in Performance Arts.  I developed an Iyengar-based practice with Judith Hirt in San Francisco, where I lived for 14 years. I eventually branched out into Astanga Vinyasa yoga, completing teacher training at It's Yoga in San Francisco in 2001 and Shiva Rea's Vinyasa Flow teaching intensive in London in 2004.  I later began studying Pilates with Amit Younger of Pilates Performance at the Royal Academy of Dance, where I went on to complete my Body Arts and Science Pilates Mat Work teaching certification.

Over the years I have had the privilege of developing my practice in workshops with some of the world's best known contemporary teachers, including Shiva Rea, Dharma Mittra, John Scott, David Swenson, Edward Clark, Kausthaub Desikachar, Tias Little, Pattabhi Jois, Jonathan Monks, Beryl Bender Birch, Ana Forrest, Max Strom, Judith Lasater and Pilates master Rael Isacowitz.  I have also learned much from low profile local teachers and friends.

An avid runner for almost 20 years, I have completed 6 marathons with a best time of 3:45 and have even picked up a few prizes. I now lead Yoga for Runners workshops at Triyoga in London, helping to pioneer their Yoga for Sports series.  I have contributed to "Yoga Magazine", "Runners World" , "Health and Fitness"  and "Zest" magazine. Yoga for Runners has also been featured in New Zealand's "Fitness Life" and Sweden's "Fitness" magazine.

I'm member of U.S. standards arbiter Yoga Alliance, Clapham Runners Club, and the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPS) level 3.   

I currently teach private yoga or Pilates at your home/office, or in  my own cosy, home-based Yoga/Pilates room in Battersea SW11, as well as evening yoga classes the Royal Academy of Dance in Battersea, London. For more information, please visit the 'classes' section of this site.
