A little about Fiona

During a long career as a professional dancer, Fiona discovered yoga whilst trying to heal a significant injury. Her knee got better enabling her to continue her career. Since then she has been a passionate advocate for yoga because she believes it can help people physically and mentally to live fuller, healthier, calmer lives. Yoga helped her to understand the power of the breath and the connection between the body and the mind that is at the centre of her teaching. Everyone is welcome at her classes, workshops and retreats regardless of their age, ability, mobility or starting fitness level.

Trained in Chinese Medicine she brings a unique dimension to her classes emphasising the correct alignment of the body and ways that each person can benefit best from each yoga posture depending on their overall health.

Every first class is free so you can see if Fiona is the right teacher for you.

Reviews from Fiona's students

"Fiona has a hugely empathetic approach to everyone in the class - showing us adaptations of poses to suit our wide range of ages, body shapes and flexibility. Most of all the classes are fun, thanks to Fiona’s sense of humour." Juliet

"Fiona is an excellent yoga teacher. She is clear and encouraging, and her teaching is informed by extensive experience and vast knowledge. I am very impressed by her ability to monitor and help individual members of the group. Her classes are well-structured and fun! " Anne

"I’m in my fifties and started yoga classes with Fiona nearly two years ago. I love the classes. Fiona is the best teacher, calm, positive with a sense of humour. She is able to accommodate different abilities in the class with ease and is very attuned to what your body can do. Without realising how your body responds and you find yourself doing things you could not do a few weeks before. Two years ago I knew nothing about yoga and had never done any exercise classes. I now feel lighter in my body, more flexible and more open to exercise generally." Christine

"I love Fiona’s classes. She has a friendly, gentle and encouraging manner and adapts postures according to each person’s ability. I feel nurtured and leave with a sense of calm after every session." Alison

"I love Fiona's classes! Her warmth and friendliness are very welcoming. The speed and content is just right for me; each course offers richness and variety, as well as the opportunity to focus on a particular theme over a period of time and explore further depths and abilities. It is a real treat to be part of a group of a maximum of 8 people, you really feel Fiona's support throughout the classes, ensuring we apply the principles correctly right from the start and as we progress. And on top of it all, the environment is beautiful and adds to the joy of taking time out for oneself. In my experience it is so rare to find such quality teaching, I recommend it wholeheartedly!
