Hey, I’m Virginia.

Welcome. I’m a certified 500 hour trained Yoga Instructor with specialist qualifications in Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga. Alongside my teaching, I am recognised as an established Doula by Doula UK and Conscious Birthing. I also offer Reiki for all, including those pregnant.

I am proud to be a Dementia Friend - An Alzheimer’s Society Initiative to change the way in which we as a nation perceive dementia.

- “It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition”. - Dementia Friends

Close to my heart is my work with young adults with learning disabilities, trauma survivors, those struggling with addiction including eating disorders, OCD, depression, anxiety and ADHD to name a few.

I look forward to meeting you,

Originally into pilates, I was persuaded to try yoga and I have not looked back. I found I benefitted so much working with the mind, body and spirit connection which I found in yoga on the mat but soon realised how my practice influenced my daily life off the mat. Pranayama and meditation practices are a huge part of my personal practice as well as offering a variety to clients during practice. I also love working with the chakras, incorporating them into an aligned yet flowing Hatha yoga based practice.

During my first teacher training, I was drawn to the pregnancy module where we learnt a good deal however I wanted to learn more and ever since I have been engaging in further trainings, courses, research, general reading around and learning from my prenatal and postnatal clients.

Through my Doula work, being a witness to new life coming into the world, taking in their first painful breath is the most awe-inspiring thing and each time I am blow away by the whole experience. It is a great honour to be able to support mothers and partners before, during and after such an intimate, life changing time. Each birth has taught me more.

I love working with Umbrella Yoga in the local community, making yoga accessible for those with additional needs. As well as working with young adults with learning disabilities I enjoy teaching classes for staff who are in a care role this would be through staff well-being programmes within organisations. If your company could be interested, please get in touch with Umbrella Yoga directly or myself.

I am trauma informed in my work as a yoga teacher and doula, respectful and non-judgemental of any mental health challenges. I am well informed in PTSD, C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, anxiety and depression plus 12-step recovery.

Please get in touch if you have any questions,

I look forward to meeting you,
