I have a string of letters after my name and earned a good living by rising quickly through the corporate ranks of RBS as an accountant and corporate banker, but I never truly felt fulfilled. When I stumbled upon yoga as an expat mum living overseas I suddenly discovered an insatiable thirst to learn more about this ancient discipline. In 2017, I did my yoga teacher training and embarked on a journey to share the benefits of yoga practice with other people. Soon after, I enrolled in a Masters degree to teach mindfulness-based approaches and launched Whole Yoga & Mindfulness to share these life enhancing practices with a diverse population in my local community, with children as young as 4 years old attending weekly classes. At Whole Yoga & Mindfulness emphasis is placed on cultivating balance, strength and equanimity by harnessing the mind-body connection to build awareness, refine perspective and optimise well-being through the practice of mindfulness-based meditations and different forms of yoga and mindful movement. Practised safely, with intention, sincerity and integrity, these practices can confer numerous physical and physiological benefits and offer new ways of dealing with stress. I offer Mindfulness Clubs in local schools, adult mindfulness classes online, and free, taster mindfulness sessions in partnership with the University of St Andrews' Mindfulness Society on Tuesday mornings in the Students Union. I teach a variety of yoga styles including Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin and share these with teenagers and young children in local schools and via an adult public class on Tuesday mornings in Holy Trinity Church Hall, St Andrews. I am available to teach private yoga and/or mindfulness classes for individuals, groups or companies. Get in touch if you would like to tailor something special.
