For years I was a person who enjoyed yoga but wasn’t dedicated to a regular practice. YouTube and the odd class here and there were my ways to get to the matt. Then one summer, whilst spending time with my chosen family, my niece had a book ABC of Yoga. We spent many days going through the poses and I noticed how much we both enjoyed it. At that time I was studying psychology with the aim to become a child psychologist. Then, I started to think about how yoga would be a good way to work with children once I had qualified. This led me to taking a course in children’s yoga. As I started to teach, I was right in my assumption, children begin to open up whilst doing yoga. During the classes we would talk about emotions and life experiences, as well as discuss feelings of being happy, sad, etc.

I started to read more about the philosophy behind yoga and this made me want to know more. Then I came across an adult yoga course that incorporated tantric philosophy, along with the methodology of teaching, before I knew it I had enrolled. Similarly, this is what happened with my teenage yoga course. I still wanted to pursue a career in clinical psychology but this dream was fading fast the more I delved in yoga.

Within my working life I gained a passion for supporting people‘s growth and development. A passion that grew from having over 15 years experience of working within the social care sectors different settings, including adult mental health and a children’s residential home. I started to explore how I could combined my two great passions and that has lead me to where I am now. Mr Moo, here for You!
