Hello and welcome to my website.
I am a fully qualified Yoga Alliance Teacher and also qualified to teach Pregnancy Yoga. I have been teaching since 2005 and currently teach in Edgware, Mill Hill and East Finchley with LA Fitness.
I have practiced yoga on and off throughout my life but my love and need for yoga came when I had breast cancer. Yoga really helped my mind, body and soul to cope with everything the treatments and surgery could throw at me.
Seeing and feeling how yoga helped me to get my life back was the start of my yoga journey and I decided to attend teacher training. This is why my website is called Yoga for Life.
After bringing up three children I became a mature student and obtained a degree in the Social Sciences. For years I have worked with the homeless dealing with drug, alcohol and mental health issues. I then joined a Youth Offending Team working with young people and their families. During this time I qualified as a counsellor and as a Practice Teacher with social work students, assessing and supervising whilst on placements.
This background has given me a deep understanding of people and their problems and has helped me to give my yoga teaching a holistic approach.
I like to teach, as I would like to be taught, with kindness, understanding and a sense of humour!!!
Namaste
Beverley
