With students and clients from all walks of life and sport, she has a strong belief in the potential for body/mind performance, injury prevention and lifestyle management within the traditions of yoga.

This session will help you to develop the resilience of the whole body via the centre, and for teachers will include teaching tips to encourage students to develop their own awareness of their core through grounding, balance, alignment and breathing.
