I refuse to work full time at the moment. I don’t think I ever really will. And I don’t think that you should either, but that’s your choice how to make that work for you.
for me it’s been a struggle – without the social drive or connections (I am a long term victim of stalking and harassment and so lacked the active social network to just go out and run retreats or clients like that from my first certification in 2016) I’ve had to become really inventive. I always felt guilty connecting with new people as well, knowing I’ve been monitored online and via my phone and unable to stop it and I have repeatedly deleted all my media, started again, deleted all my friends, started again…
but in the quiet space where they thought they had managed to squash me down I just kept practicing. My yoga alliance certification has lapsed where I’m not teaching regular classes, but I am a qualified Embodied FlowTM Teacher Trainer from practising and studying privately with Tara Judelle and Dr Scott Lyons.
this means that as of now, I can teach you to a teacher standard, however I lack the official accreditation to run a school. It’s coming, bit by bit!
if you’re ready to begin private tuition as an advanced practitioner, then it’s okay to dive in (and probably by the time you’re ready to teach I’ll be accredited and be able to certify you as a teacher which makes it a lot easier for insurance if you have no experience)
so as a teacher most of my offerings available are low cost, free or freemium available on Amazon, Spotify and soon to offer classes on YouTube and maybe TikTok. I’m open to suggestion!
if you are looking for something more interactive, you can either wait for me to run retreats and workshops or, if you want to splash out as a treat to yourself or a group, can hire me privately to design a retreat experience.
if you’re interested in my long term work in mental health campaigning (since 2013) I am available for events and can be booked as a speaker or session facilitator.
