I’m a dedicated Ashtanga yoga teacher with over a decade of experience. I studied Ashtanga with the guru in Mysore, India, as well as being a Yoga Alliance UK senior-level teacher.
Whilst I’m commitment to preserving the authenticity of Ashtanga yoga, I place a strong emphasis on anatomy and physiology, offering a holistic approach to yoga .
I studied traditional pranayama in India and trained to teach breath work in the UK.
As a dedicated Teen Yoga UK teacher, I run various yoga programs in schools, where the emphasise is that yoga is not just a physical activity but a valuable life skill.
Alongside yoga, I practice sports and traditional Thai massage therapy , offering a holistic approach to well-being.
Yoga is not merely a relaxation class but a discipline and life-enriching practice that can be integrated into daily life.
Amazing class and everything I hoped for as a complete beginner to Ashtanga yoga.
Fiona is a great teacher, she instantly made me feel at ease and she gets the best out of everyone through her fun, passionate yet dedicated approach to Ashtanga.
She's an inspiration and you can't ignore the results, my long-term back pain is significantly improved. It's definitely been a life changer

Thank you also for introducing me to ashtanga. I absolutely love it . I finally get it with yoga now . I'd Been doing yoga classes on & off for about 4 years ( I think ) & whilst I enjoyed them I never really got what all the fuss was about until I did your classes
Claire Baker
Finding an ashtanga yoga teacher who really knows what they are talking about and who is passionate about the practice was a top priority. I feared I would have to travel a long way to find a class that was worthwhile. When I found Fiona, I felt (and still feel) so incredibly lucky. Her expertise, knowledge of the body and of the practice, along with her warm, funny and enthusiastic personality makes it a sheer joy to attend her classes each week. Thank you, Fiona, for bringing such passion and focus to every class!"

I discovered Fiona's class a year ago and I can't quite believe how far my yoga has come in such a relatively short space of time.
At last I can do a headstand, and am jumping through, things I'd never believe I'd do.
Fiona is such a supportive, open and gracious teacher - always willing me on when I'm feeling stubborn and self-defeating about my practice.
Ashtanga is the best yoga I've ever done, leaving me energised, calm and very much living in the present, and what it does for the mind is wonderful.
It's a very spiritual practice. And it's great to have finally found such a skilled teacher in my neck of the woods - ashtanga teachers are few and far between.....

Not only has my back improved immensely but I now find that I can do some of the poses that I never believed I would be able to achieve - the yoga has also helped my lifestyle generally and I find that it helps me feel more relaxed in everyday life.
I am also back on the squash court which I never thought I would be able to do – I now do my yoga daily and together with Fiona’s tuition this has changed my quality of life.
Fiona is a brilliant teacher and a pleasure to work with.

I was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga just over a year ago when I attended Fiona’s group classes in Pinner on a Saturday morning.
I had previously dabbled in various styles of yoga in desperation to try and help severe pain from a ruptured disc in my back caused by a car accident and years of vigorous country squash playing.
Fiona’s classes have been an inspiration to me; after initially being a little sceptical – in the first few classes some of the poses seemed to be totally out of my league and flexibility (or lack of it!).
Due to Fiona’s encouraging attitude and the enthusiastic way she teaches I have found a year later that I have gained immensely from her classes and am now having fortnightly one to one sessions which have been an amazing help to me.

"I love Fiona's classes and feel that I get so much from them. They are challenging which is good as Fiona is so supportive and encouraging and the classes are so friendly
I have really enjoyed learning more and more about Ashtanga, I just wish I could come to more classes!"
Claire Sanders
"Fiona I just wanted to say thank you for your encouragement and support on my yoga journey. You are an amazing Ashtanga teacher. You manage to maintain the authenticity of the practice whilst making it accessible to everyone. Your gentle approach combined with knowledge, which clearly comes from your own dedication to daily practice, and a brilliant sense of humour helps to make your classes enjoyable and fun."

About Fiona
I completed my teacher training with Brian Cooper in 2010. I am indebted to Brian for his dedication and passion for teaching authentic yoga. I continue to study at KPJAYI in Mysore, the home of Ashtanga Yoga. It’s important to me that I learn from the source and to keep the tradition of Ashtanga alive. I am lucky enough to have practiced Ashtanga with respected teachers such as John Scott, Gingi Lee, David Williams, Kino Macgregor and Peter Sanson of whom I am humbled to have witnessed their dedication to teaching. I am also trained to teach Teen Yoga. Teaching young adults is incredibly rewarding. Yoga is an ancient practice but it is more relevant now than ever and should be taught in every school. Ashtanga is a strong physical practice and my Anatomy study through ITEC and Thomas Myers Anatomy Trains has proved invaluable. I teach with compassion and respect for each individual’s needs but I always encourage people to work beyond the limitations of their mind.
