Teacher’s Profile
Richey
I have been working in the wellness and fitness sector for over 16 years, predominantly dedicated to teaching yoga and Pilates. I lived and worked in countries such as Dubai, Bahrain, Hongkong, Thailand and Singapore. My journey in wellness and fitness started when I was first introduced to yoga in 2006 as a curious, unsure and unconfident student. Little did I know that yoga was all I needed in that particular moment of my life. I immediately fell in love with the practice's philosophy, which inspired me to travel to India to be a qualified yoga teacher in 2008. I believe yoga is about inner changes and awareness. An opportunity to connect with one’s inner self. It is this heightened awareness and inner connection that I believe has made me more perceptive and adaptable to situations. This positive impact on my well-being drives me to continue sharing the phenomenal benefits of yoga with others.
I discovered another mind-body integration principle, PILATES. The core synergistic approach of pilates has enhanced my yoga practice. Pilates made me aware of my body on a deeper level, inside and out. Understanding the anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and musculoskeletal system of the human body is a crucial element in any physical activity, especially injury prevention, which has been highlighted in my Pilates training.
I am committed to ongoing professional development. I am currently completing my 300-hour yoga teacher’s training. Plus, I recently qualified Mummy and Baby Yoga, Children’s Yoga, Sound Therapy, and Sound Healing Accredited Practitioner Course.
