About me.
why chose me
I fell in love with Yoga after hanging my Rugby boots up following a 30 year career and possessing a body stiff enough to prove it. After a few years of marathon running and triathlon my body was rebelling. It was time for something to help ease my body back in line. Yoga was the perfect medicine. I started going to yoga classes where my amazing teacher saw my teaching potential and encouraged me to embark on a lengthy training that massively changed my body and my mind. I became a teacher! I knew I had a mission to help current and ex players repair their bodies, help prevent further injury and aid game recovery times. I hasten to add it works with all sports and anyone else for that matter! I am a 200 hr trained seasonal yoga and meditation instructor, I am also a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist and master practitioner of NLP.(neuro linguistic programming)
I have been studying hypnosis and NLP since qualifying at the American board of hypnotherapy and NLP in 2005 and have helped over a thousand clients with various difficulties , including habits, emotional problems , overeating, and unconscious physical behaviours . I have an extensive and passionate background in sports, including Rugby and athletics. I have coached in both Rugby and athletics and have trained as a Triathlete and marathon runner. I credit as one of my greatest achievements running 52 marathons in a year for the NSPCC in 2014! As a child I always had a keen interest in spending time in and connecting with nature and our natural environment;
More recently have been training with the Four Winds society led by anthropologist Alberto Villoldo in the practice of shamanic energy medicine.
reduces stress
Yoga really isn't about how flexible you are or to what extent you can fold your legs up. Originally yoga was a system of meditations and practices aimed at letting go of the rubbish and finding the real you. While I use some lovely easy poses or asanas to loosen and stretch the body, I also teach breath work or pranayama and meditations that ease the mind and considerably reduce stress levels.
Retreats
I also run beautiful retreats around the world with an amazing team of teachers, where you can come for several days and immerse in a combination of Seasonal yoga , energy therapies , meditations , shamanic healing, and reiki. Locations chosen for their sacred beauty, tranquil settings, comfortable and luxurious facilities. You'll be truly spoilt, our Celtic Flames retreats also include spiritual guidance ,change technologies including NLP and EFT( Emotional freedom Technique), and delicious seasonal menus to nourish your body as well as your mind .
