I have been practising yoga for 17 years and qualified through the British Wheel of Yoga as a yoga teacher in 2011. I became interested in yoga following the birth of my first child when I took a career break from teaching to be a stay-at-home mum. Such a life-changing event helped me to focus on what really are the more important things in life. One aim of every parent is to equip their child with values, skills and abilities which will guide them through their whole life. Although my previous career giving students a good foundation in secondary school science was important, I started to want to teach something more lasting which would help a wider audience. Yoga certainly fits the bill for me.
