My yoga journey began over 10 years ago when a friend persuaded me to try my first class at Bikram Yoga Manchester. At the time, I was already in good physical shape, having completed three triathlons in the previous year, but nothing quite prepared me for the challenge and impact of hot yoga. I was hooked from that very first class.

In 2012, I chose to deepen my practice and understanding by completing Bikram Yoga teacher training in Los Angeles. This experience not only strengthened my personal practice but also set me on the path to becoming a dedicated yoga teacher.

Over the past 14 years, I have taught hot yoga and Bikram yoga classes across a number of studios in the UK, as well as gaining experience teaching in the US. I am passionate about helping students build strength, improve flexibility, and develop focus through a consistent yoga practice.
