Maureen has had a life long interest in yoga, having studied it since she was at University back in the 1970s. She also continued yoga while pregnant with her son and feels it was of great benefit throughout.

However, while working in IT as an analyst programmer, she was diagnosed with ME in 1992. Yoga played a prime role in her remission. Convinced by its therapeutic benefits, she decided to train as a yoga teacher herself and developed her interest in therapeutic yoga.

She has been teaching since 2002 and gained her teaching Diploma in yoga in 2005 through the British Wheel of Yoga, the governing body for yoga within the UK. The following year she became a qualified Yoga for Pregnancy Teacher, again through the British Wheel of Yoga.

Yoga becomes a way of life, providing its own harmony. Improvements in chronic conditions such as asthma and ME are noticeable with time and yoga is often recommended for back conditions. with regular practice of yoga, balance is gradually restored in our lives.

As well as yoga for pregnancy, Maureen can also offer individual tuition or small group work in yoga to cater to individual needs. She is also qualified Reiki therapist and is listed on the Register for Exercise Professionals.
