Hello, I’m Carmen.

I’m the founder of Yoga Therapy For You, a senior yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals and a Yoga Therapy Practitioner registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

I have been teaching for over 12 years and have studied with many incredible teachers throughout this time. Always a student and recently became a Sound Therapist after studying with the British Academy Of Sound Therapy.
I’m passionate about promoting healing, vitality and wellbeing through the practice of yoga and sound.

“I stumbled upon yoga unexpectedly”

It all began because I was overwhelmed with work, working through grief, my body stiff, self esteem low, struggling with weight gain and was experiencing huge hormonal shifts. I was feeling completely lost and my health and wellbeing was deteriorating.

I needed change, and so joined a gym and quickly realised it wasn’t my cup of tea! I was about to give up when I discovered  yoga classes on the timetable. 

I remember my first class, sat on a yoga mat thinking what am I doing here, I can’t even touch my toes...never in a million years would I have known that day would change my life..

The stretching felt so good, and with practice the stillness of my mind and body in relaxation became a welcome gift, a huge wake up call to self care!!

Once I’d started, I never stopped

I needed more of this magic and that's where the flame was lit and my passion for the practice was ignited.

I committed to a daily yoga practice and my healing began.

“I became stronger physically and mentally, my health improved dramatically along with my confidence”

The more I practiced the more I wanted to dive in deeper and joined a Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2010 in Edinburgh with Brian Cooper never thinking I would have the confidence to ever teach, I just wanted more knowledge.

But the universe had plans for me and everything just unfolded naturally and I began my teaching journey...

From that journey I was drawn to the therapeutic aspects of yoga and I went on to study Yoga Therapy with Yogacampus in London.

Since then I have further taken teacher trainings in Pre/Postnatal yoga, Yoga Nidra, Restorative yoga, Well Women Yoga Therapy and more recently Sound Therapy.

Back in September 2016 I became a full time yoga teacher and therapist founding Yoga Therapy For You and opened my yoga studio in Epworth, North Lincolnshire.
