Chronic back pain led me to a yoga class back in the last century! Noting immediate improvements both physically and emotionally, i immersed myself in learning more about the science of yoga and subsequently learned a lot about myself.  A chance meeting (or was it? ) at the beach one day,  i met my business partner and now great friend Jess. We yearned for something more fulfilling in our work lives and following many, many meetings, the seed of Feel Great Breaks was born. We organise Yoga Weekends in Denia on the beautiful South East coast of Spain and welcome beautiful people from all over the world on our two and four night yoga holidays. Offering more than just a holiday, we design each weekend with care and love so that our guests receive the best of attention and the most fulfilling of experiences. Teaching a mixture of yoga styles including hatha, vinyasa, yin, partner, acro and mandala yoga, we hope to give guests a good grounding in the basics of physical yoga practise, plus an hours sitting practise each day. I also teach yoga classes in the area of Spain in which i live. With a vast range of pupils of all ages and experience in attendance, my style is dynamic but with lots of accessible variations for every body to enjoy. Classes include a philosophical element too drawing from my life experiences, learning and insights. I have a joyful and rewarding life and feel honoured to meet amazing people from all over the globe. My favourite postures are down dog - i love it - and crazy arm balances! My favourite mantra - gayatri, favourite colour green, i have two dogs Ziggy and Tintin and my favourite husband is Matt :-)
