I am a Yoga Scotland teacher, health and wellbeing pioneer and a new member of The Iona Community www.iona.org.uk.

At Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice, I was chaplain in the Family Support Team and led the volunteer chaplaincy team for 5 years. My role was to provide Spiritual Care to patients, families, staff and volunteers of all faiths and none. This is where my interest in holistic care and complimentary therapies began.

After a knee injury from 10k training, I saw a physiotherapist in 2007. On her recommendation, I went to Hatha Yoga classes and very quickly it became my main form of exercise. For me, Yoga is a health and wellbeing tool box. I believe it has so much to offer people of all ages, abilities, beliefs, backgrounds and experiences.
