Hello and thank you for visiting Atma Prema Wellness.

I am keen to empower and enlighten you on your yoga journey and help you learn to look after yourself better whilst sharing with you all I have learned so far and my passion for Iyengar yoga.

My classes around Essex welcome all abilities and ages, as I instill the Iyengar method, confidence, and understanding of yoga into your daily lives.

Formerly a Professional dancer and teacher, I found the Iyengar Yoga method back in 1998 whilst still performing and was initially drawn to it for the physical benefits experienced. The precise practice helped prevent injury and kept me high-kicking and tumbling my way around the world but after 14 years of dancing professionally in the West End, English National Opera, TV, Film, and Commercial dance, my body was showing the strains and my mat was a place for my rehabilitation, to support, heal, and balance my body and my yoga journey had really begun!

After a lifestyle change to fast-paced office employment with long hours, deadlines, stress, and long seated periods, I grew to appreciate firsthand the mental and emotional benefits of a more holistic lifestyle. Now back in my hometown of Chelmsford, I balance the 9-5 with my passion for yoga.

After years of dedicated practice to Iyengar Yoga, I qualified as a teacher in 2016. As a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher, I do not mix other disciplines of Yoga in a class as I am committed to maintaining the integrity, excellence, and high standards that have been demonstrated and emphasised by BKS Iyengar.

I continue to grow, develop, and deepen my knowledge and understanding of the Iyengar Method with visits to Pune India when I can and attending classes with the Iyengars, UK Workshops, and Conventions with Senior teachers from around the world, in addition to my weekly classes and daily personal practice. I incorporate readings from the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali into my classes and I am learning more every day about the history and philosophy of Yoga, not just the physical practice

Alongside working in London I have organised Holistic Wellness Events, retreats, Corporate Wellness days, and Iyengar Workshops. Bringing together leading holistic practitioners, as well as sharing the Iyengar method to encourage a more healthy and happy lifestyle…..helping you learn how to look after yourself inside and out.

Enjoying the home life these days, with my cat and city garden, I’m striving to be more self-sufficient and organic where possible by growing some veggies for the first time, and I enjoy learning about aromatherapy and ayurvedic medicine.

Atma Prema means more than just words

Self-love is about learning how to make your heart shine for me, it starts every day with Iyengar Yoga
