Tania brings 35 years of experience teaching yoga, meditation and breathwork to the School of Natural Therapies. She began practising yoga in her early twenties to resolve her own stress-related issues while running a high-end fashion design business in central London. Having discovered its benefits first-hand, yoga became a huge part of her life and self-discovery, leading to dedicated practice, meditation and an immersion in the yogic lifestyle. She travelled extensively, exploring many different styles of yoga in the ashrams of Thailand, the Balearics and Europe, before returning to the UK to qualify as a teacher with the Sunra International School of Yoga.
As a yoga teacher in London, Tania taught at various yoga centres and health clubs, specialising in breathwork practices, pregnancy yoga, children’s yoga, and yoga for injuries, disabilities and special educational needs. Over the following years she extended her qualifications to become a personal trainer, injury rehabilitation therapist and postural alignment therapist, gaining OCR Level 2 qualifications in Personal Training and Injury Rehabilitation from St Mary’s College, Twickenham, a BTS Body Balance Instructors Diploma from Fitpro, London, and Stability Ball Training Level 1 with Kathryn Cullen BSc. Throughout, she has continued to use yoga asanas and pranayama (breathwork) alongside these disciplines to achieve the most beneficial results for her clients’ varied needs.
Through her varied practice of yoga disciplines, including Hatha, Sivananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin and Kundalini, Tania has developed her own unique style of teaching, blending these approaches to create a balance tailored to each client’s specific needs. She harnesses the energy within the mind, the body and the breath, working with the body’s energy centres, or chakras, to raise energy levels, develop positive thinking and release tension and stress. Her more traditional Western healthcare qualifications bring a practical edge to her teaching that everyone can relate to.
