My interest in fitness was sparked in the 1980's by Jane Fonda and the aerobics boom. I qualified to teach exercise to music (aerobics) in 1991 and have taught classes from Step to BodyPump, Bootcamp circuits and Spinning ever since. I studied PE, Sports Science and Recreation Management at Loughborough University, and earned my B.Sc. (Hons) degree in 1994. During my time at Loughborough I represented the university at Hockey and in the Equestrian team.
I decided to pursue a career in Food Marketing for some well-known companies (McVitie's, Cadbury's, Fox's Biscuits and Sara Lee) and duly climbed the corporate ladder for ten years, all the while still taking fitness qualifications (Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy), teaching classes in my holidays and weekends and playing Rugby for Manchester ladies.
When made redundant ( by Sara Lee being declared insolvent), I was on maternity leave, and after having my second child a year later I decided to return to my first love - health and fitness. I worked for a couple of well known companies - Total Fitness and David Lloyd for a few years, gaining experience and more qualifications (GP Referral, BodyPump, Spinning and Personal Training, as well as becoming a Master Trainer for Weight Loss) then branched out alone to become a Personal Trainer working with clients in their own homes.
During this period I took up Golf and Running and found I was quite talented at both. Amongst friends, relatives and clients I found increasing numbers of people suffering with back problems so qualified to become a Specialist in lower back problems, and set up classes to specifically help this group.
However, being self employed has its draw backs and I found myself increasingly "stressed". This led me to discover the joy of yoga. It was a saviour to me and I fully embraced all areas of the discipline and finally took my Diploma in Yoga Teacher Training Qualification so that I may share some of its benefits with others.
Holiday - There are no classes 31st March to 5th April.
