I came to yoga in a round about way, after a background in dance--both ballet and modern, as well as cross-country running. After exploring various alternative forms of movement and exercise, I found myself doing yoga and immediately felt 'at home', and have been practicing now for over ten years. Ashtanga yoga has had the strongest influence on my practice, and I have studied intensively with John Scott, Graeme Northfield, Patthabi Jois and most recently Nancy Gilgoff,in Europe and India. I have also enjoyed greatly the 'lyrical' and 'poetic' styles of teaching from a number of Scaravelli influenced teachers including Rosella Baroncini, Victor Van Kooten, and of course, Paddy MacGrath.
For me, yoga is about practicing alone, facing one's self with one's breath on the mat. My own personal practice has also been greatly influenced in the last five years by two pregnancies and two very happy homebirths.
