Hey, I’m Virginia.
Welcome. I’m a certified 500 hour trained Yoga Instructor with specialist qualifications in Pre & Postnatal Yoga. Alongside my teaching, I am recognised as an established Doula by Doula UK and Conscious Birthing. I also offer Reiki for all, including those pregnant.
I am proud to be a Dementia Friend - An Alzheimer’s Society Initiative to change the way in which we as a nation perceive dementia.
- “It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about the condition”. - Dementia Friends
Close to my heart is my work with young adults with learning disabilities, trauma survivors and others, like myself who are neurodivergent.
I look forward to meeting you,

Originally into pilates, I was persuaded to try yoga and I have not looked back. I found I benefitted so much working with the mind, body and spirit connection which I found in yoga on the mat but soon realised how my practice influenced my daily life off the mat. Pranayama and meditation practices are a huge part of my personal practice as well as offering a variety to clients during practice. I also love working with the chakras, incorporating them into an aligned yet flowing Hatha yoga based practice.
During my first teacher training, I was drawn to the pregnancy module where we learnt a good deal however I wanted to learn more and ever since I have been engaging in further trainings, courses, research, general reading around and learning from my prenatal and postnatal clients.
Through my Doula work, being a witness to new life coming into the world, taking in their first painful breath is the most awe-inspiring thing and each time I am blow away by the whole experience. It is a great honour to be able to support mothers and partners before, during and after such an intimate, life changing time. Each birth has taught me more.
I love working with Umbrella Yoga in the local community, making yoga accessible for those with additional needs. As well as working with young adults with learning disabilities I enjoy teaching classes for staff who are in a care role this would be through staff well-being programmes within organisations. If your company could be interested, please get in touch with Umbrella Yoga directly or myself.
I am trauma informed in my work as a yoga teacher and doula, respectful and non-judgemental of any mental health challenges. I am well informed in PTSD, C-PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety and depression plus 12-step recovery.
Please get in touch if you have any questions,
I look forward to meeting you,
