About Me
Health and fitness features prominently in my life. I exercise regularly and compete in local and regional trail running events when possible. I enjoy cooking nutritious recipes that support optimised health and performance. As one of two nutritionists for the England National Football Team during the 2009/10 season in preparation for the World Cup in South Africa, I designed health and wellness student programmes specific to their sporting and academic needs.Having been a guest speaker at the National Schools Independent Sports Conference, (ISFA) on the topic of Sports Nutrition for Football. I enjoy presenting to groups, schools and clubs on the topic of nutrition for peak performance and personal wellbeing.I also find it hugely rewarding presenting at school assemblies and PSHE sessions on this topic.
I enjoy trekking and have participated in the 15 Peak Challenge, Snowdonia, Wales. I have trekked to Mount Everest Base Camp raising considerable funds for the Motor Neuron Disease Society, a charity very dear to me. Having also trekked the Andes in South America, I have led groups of students on residential trips to Snowdonia as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme as well as many overseas sporting tours throughout Europe.
I enjoy strength and conditioning training, cold water thermogenesis and intermittent fasting as a means to enhance health and potentiate longevity. Overseas travel has always been a feature of my life; such as visiting the mountainous region of Vietnam or the highlands of Bolivia.
I have a nine year-old daughter and a six-year-old son and enjoy spending quality time with them. My partner and I actively engage in interesting activities and experiences in order to widen our personal horizons and promote positive learning.
I am an avid podcast listener and enjoy the varied and diverse nature this style of platform provides. Music is a passion, notably live performances.

Yogesh
YOGA, MEDITATION, BREATHWORK, Holistic Health International Coach For Beginners, Weight Loss, Flexibility, Stress Relief, Sleep, Mind RelaxclassA unique approach to building strength, stability and flexibility while connecting mind + body. We blend neuroscience (somatics), classic yoga asana (postures), and functional movement to build intelligent, conscious body awareness.
Through slow, gentle Somatic movements, we can release tension patterns & retrain muscle imbalances. Yoga practices calm & stabilize the nervous system and mind. These combined, can lead to greater ease in our daily activities and movements, help prevent injuries and bring more awareness to causes of stress.

One to one Hatha-Vinyasa Yoga. Yin-Yoga. All levels.This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind.
For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’.
We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome!
A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body.
The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.
The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and
healing.
The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system.
The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit.
I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:)
Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;)
Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness.
We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives.
Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride!
I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers.
Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly.
So, let's see you on the mat.

200 Hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher and 50 Hour FlyHigh Yoga Teacher / Barre and Pilates instructorYoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.
I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.
A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?
