Yoga
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2004, and have specialised in teaching yoga for cancer since 2009. I am also a qualified advanced massage therapist, and have undertaken training in advanced anatomy and structual and ayurvedic yoga therapy. I have trained many teachers to do this work on my own course Healing Space, for many years. I still consult on yoga therapy and teacher training programmes. Due to my PhD commitments, I am not currently teaching a regular weekly yoga class, but I occasionally cover classes at the wondering Root & Rise studio in Castle Douglas, where I also offer Sound Baths.
I am still offering teaching and consultation on yoga therapy trainings. I am also available for one-to-one consultation and coaching. I also provide mentoring or coaching for yoga teachers and therapists who are working with people living with cancer or other life-limiting illness or in palliative care
I am a senior yoga teacher registered with Yoga Pros (Formerly Yoga Alliance Professionals)
Between 2011 and 2021 I trained dozens of yoga teachers to work with people living with cancer. Click for a list of their contact details and locations.
My Book
Adapting Yoga for People Living with Cancer Published in 2020, is aimed at yoga teachers and therapists and is available from the publisher Singing Dragon, and all the other usual booky places.
Textiles
I work with upcycled, vintage, reclaimed, found and natural materials to create slow-stitched and woven textile pieces
