Tina has been practicing Yoga for 9 years and teaching for the last 5 years. Tina initially took Yoga to help manage her running injuries and since that time has come to appreciate what yoga can offer physically and mentally. Her vision of Yoga for Everyone is to encourage people who have a stereotypical vision of Yoga to give it another chance. We all live in a world where there are lessons to be learned, challenges to overcome and bodies we must live with. And in our society, we must all learn how to manage stress or pay the price. This means we can all benefit from Yoga. Tina has her Yoga Teacher Certification and her Yoga for Therapy Certification from India. She also has completed numerous training workshops and specializes in Yoga for Runners, Yoga for Golfers, Kids Yoga, Family Yoga and Intermediate classes. Tina is the owner of the OSO Yoga Centres in London and Ailsa Craig and is a part time Telecommunications Consultant. She also enjoys running, biking swimming, squash, hiking, skiing, golfing and the outdoors in general. |
