Yvonne started practicing yoga in 2006; she has a 350-hour Yoga Teacher Diploma and 33-hour Restorative Practices certifications with Anna Ashby, both from triyoga, London. She also holds 50 hour Yin & Yang Practice completed with MoreYoga and 16 hours Trauma Informed Yoga for Diverse Communities with Ourmala/Fierce Calm.
Yvonne has attended intensive workshops with Diane Bondy, Faith Hunter, Donna Farhi, Simon Low and experienced a wonderful tour of South Indian temples with Leila Sadeghee in 2018. Yvonne is on Leila’s The Practices faculty offering Restorative yoga and also assists Anna Ashby on her 33 hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.
Yvonne's Hatha Yoga teaching is mindful, grounded and alignment focused, encouraging a conscious breath during classes to keep connected to self. Passionate about Restorative Yoga and the benefits it can have on our bodies; the practice allows the nervous system to shift from “fight or flight” into a relaxation response (Sympathetic to Parasympathetic nervous system).
Yvonne had a long career as a HR Business Partner where she switched, in March 2020, to full time yoga teaching to achieve personal balance and to increase the opportunities to share the benefits of Restorative & Hatha Yoga.
All yoga instructors are top professionals, kind and attentive for everyone participating in their classes, they make all aspects of yoga enjoyable and welcoming, starting from relaxing music in a room, taking us for a journey of opening our hearts, stretching, breathing, finishing for relaxation. Classes are challenging but with different options to suit different people.
Thank you, I will definitely come back.
