Transform Your Mind With The Wellbeing Circle

Having discovered the life-changing magic of the yogic way of life in 2012, I am deeply passionate about sharing the power of yoga as a tool to promote better mental health for all. 

I am trained in Ashtanga, Hatha, Restorative (RYT500) and children's yoga. For the past 20 years, I have chosen a career of service and have been working with people impacted by substance abuse in the criminal justice system. 

Through my work with thousands of individuals, I have unfortunately been only too aware of the re-occurring theme of poor mental health and mindsets often lacking the tools to embody self-confidence and happiness. Having experienced first-hand the benefits of yoga, I could see the value and benefits of incorporating my personal practice with my professional work. 

My aim is to provide a platform to encourage a healthy, happy and calm mind which is equipped with tools to deal with life’s challenges and rewards, both ‘on and off the mat’. 

We invite you to join us in our project to bring the magic of yoga into the minds and lives of all beings.

I was drawn to yoga in my early 20’s through a teacher that traditionally taught Hatha yoga. She was always so calm and at that age I was experiencing bouts of anxiety that were at times quite debilitating. I wanted to find a way to manage my ‘fight or flight syndrome’ and discovered that regular practice really helped.

Over the years I practiced many forms including Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Restorative and Vinyasa Flow. I fell in love with Vinyasa Flow as I loved the variety and creativity of the classes and in 2014 I graduated as a teacher. I then went on to qualify in children’s, restorative and pregnancy. Since 2019 I have worked in male prisons as a trainer and careers adviser. My role is that of rehabilitation and helping my clients to find a pathway away from crime. 

In prison there are high levels of mental health and through the use of yoga and breathwork we can deliver the tools to help improve these levels. Empowering prisoners through the use of yoga and pranayama helps them to maintain mental and physical health in incarceration and to build confidence and self esteem in the lead up to their release. With first-hand knowledge of how yoga has benefitted me I am passionate about sharing this toolbox for life!
