Yogamoo™ was established in 2006 by my husband Phillip as I embarked on a 2.5 year 500H Teacher Training Course. I was fully employed in the corporate world at the time and travelling internationally for work: one week-end a month spent in TTC Yoga Training as well as several classes per week was the ideal training format for me.

Within the following 2 years, Phillip grew Yogamoo to become a leading UK Yoga DVD online retailer and I reviewed and practised dozens of Yoga DVDs from Americas leading instructors.

I love Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga and Vinyasa and continuously train and practice in London and through the Yoga Journal magazine (I have been an active subscriber since 2005). I developed my own styles of Yoga such as Core Strength Yoga, and I came to love the slower aspects of Yoga during my Pregnancies with my practice and training in Meditation, Restorative and Mindfulness.

By end 2008, I was fully certified and started teaching my first regular weekly class. In late 2009 as I went on to teach Yoga full time, Yogamoo became more and more focused on growing our up and coming Reigate Yoga Studio. I added some new certifications to expand my teaching to Pregnancy Yoga, Children Yoga and Mums and Baby Yoga with Birthlight. I continued teaching over 12 classes a week around my pregnancies and became a Yoga author of the following programmes:

Pregnancy Yoga For Beginners DVD

I presented these products at the London Yoga Show 2013, at our stand and teaching on stage. These products have been selling on Amazon ever since.

From 2014, I developed a 40H Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training Course and started teaching in local schools and developed my own Children’s Yoga teaching method. With the demand in local schools increasing, I started training other Teachers and formalised in 2017 a 40 Hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Training Course.

Yogamoo grew over the years to a well-established Reigate Yoga Studio with a team of 10 teachers, all caring for the need of our community of local students. Our ethos as a team, has been to make Yoga approachable to all those who could enjoy its benefits. As well as reaching out to a wider audience of children, teenagers and pregnant students, we offered a wide range of mixed ability classes for All. Our team and Studio were friendly and knew well their students, who felt included in their learning and progressed along their Yoga journey. In March 2020, the studio closed to follow COVID guidelines and in July 2020 I decided to resign our premises of 11 years to concentrate on my online work and private sessions. I am now trading as Yogamoo as an independent Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT) and Trainer-Pro Certified Yoga Trainer focusing on

“The badge means so much more, the world of yoga has several alliances, wheels, and federations. ‘YAP’ set high standards and that differentiates them from other organisations. For example, they believe that ‘Teacher Trainer’ requires, time, wisdom, and knowledge, and that can only be attained through experience.”
