Welcome to YOGA FOR YOU

I am a Yoga instructor giving classes in the Middlesex and Hertfordshire area. Classes are mixed ability and all ages are welcomed.

About Me


I have been practising Yoga for 10 years. I started in 1993 with a Yoga class at a local school hall. What I was looking for was a way to maintain flexibility in my body. Apart from this I was not sure what else Yoga offered. I found the first few classes very difficult and uncomfortable and I wasn’t quite sure if it was for me. However, I decided to keep trying.

After 6 months I joined another Yoga group under the instruction of Ellen Lee. Her method of teaching spoke to me and she has been my teacher ever since. Through her instruction I did indeed become more flexible, however I also learned how to observe my body, to calm my mind and to have a greater awareness of self. This gradual education added to my enjoyment and commitment to Yoga practice.

The idea of Yoga is that it is something more than just physical exercise - it is about connecting to your true self. It asks that we respect our limitations and still challenge ourselves. It is uncompetitive and demands honesty and humility. Forcing your body to try to achieve a posture it cannot do, will hinder your progress. You must be kind to your body and listen to it!!! Do what you can and work with it. Through the physical practice of Yoga, mind, body and breath become one. It is this that pieces us together to feel whole and calm.

After many years of Yoga practice, going to workshops and retreats, I decided that I wanted to share my experience of Yoga by becoming an instructor. I received my training from the Yoga for Health Foundation and also had strong continued support from Ellen.

I love teaching and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with my students. I hope that people can benefit as much from Yoga as I have. In my teaching, I try to transmit to my students the importance of taking time out to sometimes be still. It is in being still that we learn to be peaceful, open and content with ourselves. When we are quiet, old thought patterns unravel and we can begin to hear our inner voice.

About Yoga


Yoga is an ancient discipline concerned with developing a holistic, healthy and balanced lifestyle. It works the mind, body and breath. It is a combination of physical and mental exercises which promote flexibility, reduce stress and increase stamina and strength.

Yoga is constantly changing as your awareness increases. If done correctly, with a sense of purpose and a positive attitude, stress will leave your body and you will find yourself in a peaceful and comfortable state. Your mind will have less "chatter", your body will become more flexible and you will experience a sense of balance that will be reflected in your everyday life. You will sleep more soundly, and medically, you can even lower your blood pressure, cholesterol and alleviate many other medical irregularities.

Yoga encourages a firm body, a steady mind and a kind spirit. Physically, yoga postures increase strength by toning muscles in every part of the body. Regular dedicated practice of yoga increases endurance and flexibility. It improves glandular functioning and leaves you refreshed and with renewed energy. Your health will prosper due to a consistent and positive state of well being experienced when the body is balanced. Mentally, concentration will be heightened; you will become emotionally stable, and will obtain peace within yourself.

They word Yoga is generally translated as "union" and the practice is intended to lead to a better balance of body, mind and spirit. Yoga is more than just trying to stand on your head or sit in a fancy position.

The classes are suitable foray all ages and abilities and offer a balanced programme to stretch and flex the body.
