Life is full. Work, family, studying, responsibilities – the to-do list never shortens. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you disappear. At least I did.

Selfcare Yogaday started as my answer to that. A single time-slot each week, held sacred, invested entirely to myself. Not a reward for getting everything done – because everything is never done. Just a non-negotiable act of showing up. Saturday mornings every week before everything else.

It worked. Profoundly.

I came to yoga after a stroke and heart surgery, literally restarting from zero. What I discovered over the time that followed transformed my body completely. In my 50s I am fitter, stronger and healthier than ever I was in my 20s. My children say that I am ageing backwards!

I trained to become a yoga teacher with Jamie Blowers, whose yoga lineage runs through Larry Scholz – founder of Rocket Yoga™ and he was a student of Pattabhi Jois. I learned that yoga could be both energetic and relaxing and should also adapt to the body in front of the teacher, never the other way around. In early 2026 I went to Rishikesh, India for a month, the birthplace of Yoga - immersing myself more deeply into Ashtanga, Hatha, Iyengar and yoga therapy – using props, the wall, the mat as instruments of healing – and also discovered the full eight limbs: as taught by monks. Yoga became more of a way of life, something to carry with you long after you leave the mat.

I have brought it all home to my local community.

Now qualified as a 500hours advanced yoga instructor, I am registered and insured with Yoga Alliance Professionals.

Am offering classes that at warm, precise and genuinely inclusive. Built for real bodies with real histories. Whether you are recovering, returning, curious about inversions and arm balances or a complete beginner – there is a place for you here. What I most enjoy is guiding beginners gently, and seeing your joy as you progress week by week.

No competition. No judgement. Just you, your breath, and your time that belongs entirely to you.
