I have been practicing yoga since the 1990s and trained to become a teacher with Shakti Power Yoga, a registered Yoga Alliance school, qualifying in December 2011. I teach Vinyasa, Dynamic, Power, Ashtanga and Yin yoga. I adapt classes to the needs or the level of participants. I teach in workplaces and have a studio in Ealing Broadway for group classes and private sessions. I teach a huge variety of people; from beginners to advanced yogis, from athletes to people with health concerns.

I’m incredibly happy to report that my teacher, Valentina Candiani, will be joining us and teaching the afternoon workshops. She will cover popular workshop content such as jump-throughs and transitions and also take sessions on Pranayama, meditation and philosophy. Valentina currently teaches aerial classes at Aeriel Land: 8-30 Galena Road, W6 0LT, London
