My Passions and Hobbies\u00a0 :\u00a0 Fitness & Yoga , My beloved horse and pet goats\u00a0 , Singing with my band.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Fitness background:\u00a0 Yoga,\u00a0 Step Aerobics, Weight training, Boxing, Horse riding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year I will be 54 and so have I been teaching fitness classes for 35 years and Yoga for 26 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

At age 19 I took my RSA\/YMCA Exercise to Music Teachers Certificate which ,<\/span>at the time was a year long college course and\u00a0 <\/span>after qualifying I then began teaching Fitness classes all around the Midlands area. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after I left college I was offered a job as a \u2018Fitness Assistant \u2018 at Hereward College in Coventry where I worked alongside the Physiotherapists and\u00a0 <\/span>Head Fitness Trainer teaching students with all kinds of physical and learning disabilities from Spinal injuries to Cerebral Palsy ,Spina Bifida, Down syndrome and amputations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a steep learning curve for me as an Instructor but one that was incredibly rewarding. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of working with people concerned with losing their \u2018spare tyre or wobbly bits\u2019 I was actually making a difference to people who couldn\u2019t even walk,\u00a0 stand up or lift their arms properly . <\/span><\/p>\n

I decided this was what Health and Fitness should be about \u2026not making us \u2018look\u2018 a certain way , but about getting the very best out of our bodies by keeping us mobile, strong, balanced , moving , and fully functioning for life . <\/span><\/p>\n

In 1997 I moved to Phoenix Arizona and worked part time as a Gym Instructor for a while , but became increasingly frustrated with the fitness industry\u2019s obsession with vanity and image .<\/span><\/p>\n

Here I met 2 amazing Yoga teachers, one who was classic Iyengar trained\u00a0 <\/span>and the other was Ashtanga trained and I began studying with them and quickly fell in love with Yoga, the way it made you feel\u00a0 <\/span>great in your own skin. It just made you feel good.<\/span><\/p>\n

I moved back to the UK in 2000 and completed my British School of Yoga Teachers Diploma and began teaching classes whilst working part time as a Veterinary\u00a0 <\/span>Nurse. <\/span><\/p>\n

I qualified in several other Yoga & Fitness Qualifications during this time, including Budokon Yoga Teacher training , Freestyle Fitness Yoga , Kettlebells , Bootcamp and as classes got busier, I took the plunge , left the Vets and set up my business \u2018Fitness and Yoga with Adele\u2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

I then became aware of a incredible Fitness Educator & Coach called Dax Moy and I went on to learn more about the body and its \u2018Systems\u2019 and how they all interlink and affect one another .\u00a0 <\/span>I then added Corrective Exercise\/ Kinetic Chain Assessment Specialist \/ Body & Mind Mapping amongst other skills to my now growing obsession with \u2018How the Body works\u2018 and how we can make it work better. <\/span><\/p>\n

I believe I have created a completely unique form of \u2018Yoga\/Fitness experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

In my classes we work on all the elements of a properly functioning – healthy body, including mobility , balance , strength, stability , flexibility, bone density , co-ordination, pelvic floor health , sensory systems\u00a0 <\/span>and much more .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I truly believe the better our body works , the better we will feel\u00a0 <\/span>and therefore look . <\/span><\/p>\n

My classes are open to all abilities as I always offer numerous teaching points to every pose and offer easy and harder options so you can work at your pace. <\/span><\/p>\n

I can adapt any pose to safely suit any ability and try to teach in a way that you learn to do the poses yourself , without always having to rely on a teacher for adjustment and guidance . This way you can create your own Yoga practice and adapt it to your bodies own needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

I would love you to come and join me and see how good you can start to feel in your own body . <\/span><\/p>\n

Have a great day ! <\/span><\/p>\n
