Originally from an Art and Design background, I spent many years teaching art and philosophy, running a major city centre art gallery and curating local and regional art exhibitions eventually obtaining my Ph.D in 2002. During this time Yoga was always in the back of my mind as something I wanted to 'do' someday. My body from years of 'head in books' was seriously neglected, so when 7 years ago amidst work, babies and small children I noticed a local yoga class I had to give it a go. There was no turning back; it became my passion and 6 years later I embarked on both an Intensive Training Course in the sensory based movement practice of Nia and a BWYQ Level 4 Diploma in Teaching Yoga.
Now rather than something I 'do', Yoga is how I live and I cannot imagine a time without it. With an old shoulder injury that still makes itself known on a daily basis through stiffness and impaired mobility, I believe that the practices of Yoga and Nia are for every 'body', whatever age, condition or ability. They open up unique and individual 'spaces' that you can call your own; a space in which you can let go and have freedom to explore, play, release, breathe, relax and be still.
Whether through Yoga or Nia focusing on moving with awareness, intent and inquiry can unravel years of entrenched patterns within the body and has the power to creatively shape the way we feel, look and live.
