About Me
Hi,
My name is Jenny and welcome to Total Yoga.
I have been practising yoga for over ten years. I originally started yoga to stretch and relax tired muscles after long distance running. However, over time it has helped me to become both physically and mentally stronger - strengthening muscles that I never knew I had, to teaching me how to stay calm and focused in challenging situations.
Yoga has helped me stay fit and healthy throughout both my pregnancies and recover quickly after giving birth.
I have used my yoga experience in my job as a primary school teacher, as part of PE lessons but also to help children who struggle with anxiety and low self-esteem. The children I have taught love yoga as much as I do!
After the birth of my first child I trained to become a yoga teacher as I wanted others to experience the benefits of yoga but in a fun and relaxed way - I don’t take myself too seriously.
The yoga I teach is for everyone. I want people to have fun in a friendly atmosphere, learn something new, challenge themselves and go home feeling great!
I hope you enjoy the website,
