ABOUT ME
I am a 200hr certified Yoga Teacher, a single mum of 2, a runner and an arthritis warrior!
In March 2020 just before the first lockdown, I started showing signs of rheumatoid arthritis and overnight I went from a healthy and fit 45 Year old to someone who could not get out of bed on my own, walk across the living room, lift an empty kettle or put my car in gear to drive! Due to Covid I was undiagnosed and untreated for another 18 months.
So, I started walking and doing daily yoga to try and increase my movement and it gave me a lifeline that transformed my life. I have done yoga everyday since then and I am now the fittest that I have ever been in my life. I have just completed the Virtual London Marathon and signed up for the Manchester Marathon 2025! I have just turned 50 and I feel amazing! I am on a mission to bring yoga to as many people as I can. Don't let arthritis or age steal your joy when yoga can make you can feel amazing too.
