Brave Bodies classes are down-to-earth and goal-oriented — the goal being a stronger, leaner, suppler, youthful and more agile you. I am not willing to fritter your time away — we move so little already in low-challenge environment. I will ask you to work hard. I expect that you do your best in the given time. Your very best will be different from the person standing next to you, and that’s to be expected — and respected. What matters is the commitment to make the most of your time on the mat.

If you’d like to join, I run yoga and Pilates classes in Woolston and Lowford (Southampton) every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I also run a monthly workshop in Southsea, Portsmouth.

I have to say I have one of the best jobs in the world. I work with people in a pleasant, relaxing setting, offering them an opportunity to do something for themselves and help them as best as I can. I meet people from all walks of life and have made great friends — who still come to my classes!
