I found yoga during a time when life felt overwhelming and I was searching for peace. What began as a way to breathe through stress became my path to healing, clarity and connection. Yoga helped me to slow down, reconnect with myself and feel grounded. I now want to guide others into finding their calm. 

With over 200 hours of yoga teacher training and trauma-informed training, I guide students through breathwork and gentle, mindful movement. My classes are designed to help you quiet the noise, turn into your body and find your sense of calm. SuZen Yoga isn't about pushing or performing - it's about listening to your body at that moment and moving in a way that feels true to you.

I often practice outside, where the wind moves through the trees and the sky opens wide above. So, if you hear me say, "look to the sky" it's because in my mind - that is where we are - surrounded by nature, held by the earth and connected to something bigger than ourselves. 

SuZen Yoga isn't about being able to touch your toes. It's about showing up, being present and finding your calm - even if it's just for a little while. Everyone is welcome, exactly as they are. I'll meet you on the mat.

I always think of the mat as a sanctuary – an oasis in life’s troubles where you can find peace in movement and meditation. I have practiced a variety of different types of yoga for the past 30 years and have found something to enjoy in them all but I am particularly fond of flows and drills. As a teacher I aim to help you find your own enjoyment in the practice but what I find universal among practitioners is the community it builds and how it supports not just a healthy body but also a healthy mind. It really is a great antidote to the pressures of modern life.

My main job involves sitting at a computer and long commutes and yoga has helped me not only with the pressures of my role but also the aches and pains brought on by working life. I aim to bring in movement and strengthening exercises that facilitate functional movement in a creative and fun way.

When I am not at work and I am not teaching and practicing yoga (my husband says he is a yoga widow) I enjoy cooking and eating, walking with my dog Herbie and any activity in or by the sea. Yoga by the sea is my idea of bliss!

I have completed a 200 hour Vinyasa teacher training course at Heather Yoga and Menoyoga ® with Sally Parkes Yoga, both are registered with the Yoga Alliance and I am fully insured.
