YOGA EDUCATION

- with James Russell -

Welcome to my website.

I'm a doctoral researcher and yoga teacher based in the UK. I've practised yoga for over 25 years and have taught yoga since 2007. I also hold a Master's Degree in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation from SOAS, University of London, where I specialised in Sanskrit and yoga history.

I blend practical experience with scholarly knowledge to teach a holistic approach to yoga that includes a wide spectrum of practices and embraces the rich cultural diversity of yogic traditions.

I am currently on sabbatical from teaching weekly classes to focus on my PhD. However, I continue to teach on the Devon School of Yoga's 500-hour, two-year teacher training course and will periodically offer workshops on specialist topics. For more information on teacher training, please visit the Devon School of Yoga's website.
