Phillipa started her yoga journey in 1995 after being diagnosed with osteoporosis which was the result of long term anorexia. What she originally thought might help her bones became her path to recovery.

First introduced to Iyengar yoga over twenty five years ago by senior teacher Liz Connolly. She was then lucky enough to become a regular student of John Scott (Ashtanga yoga) in 1998 it was then that yoga took her to spend the winters from 2001 to 2006, studying and teaching in India

She was a senior teacher at Purple Valley /Brahmani Yoga Goa and taught on their annual teacher training programs .On her yoga path ,she has studied intensively with some of the highly regarded teachers in the world in both the Ashtanga and Iyengar lineage, who have had a big influence in her style of teaching.

Her teaching style is based around her own experience of yoga, formerly teaching mysore self practice and now teaching a steady ,flowing ,progressive practice with an awareness on the breath linking the poses with the vinyasa krama system as its foundation, with a very strong emphasis on technique and alignment.

In her classes there is an encouragement to develop your own practice, to make it more sustainable whilst always finding a balance between stability and flexibility.

Phillipa has also studied pranayama intensively in India following the Hatha yoga tradition. She has been teaching yoga for over twenty years and has many trainings and qualifications.

For the last 17 years she has been based in London and runs regular classes Ashtanga vinyasa and Hatha, workshops and retreats .

She continues to feel gratitude for her teachers and the path she had been given.
