Maxine passed introductory level 2 in 2012, intermediate junior level 1 in 2016 & intermediate junior level 2 in 2019. She has over 20 years Iyengar yoga practise to share & is available for private 1-1 lessons.
"I only teach/practice the Iyengar method as something just clicked after my very first class it was just what I needed, I don't feel the need to change it & do my own thing, it is wonderful just as it is.
In 2016/17/18/22/23 I spent several weeks in Pune at RIMIYI being taught by the Iyengar family. I shall be returning as regularly as finances allow, it is always a magical experience. I was blessed to receive Geeta Iyengars last teachings in December 2018 in Pune.
I can't put into words what a magical thing Iyengar yoga is, regular practice has made me healthy, happy & more confident. Its regular practice is extremely good for my mental health as well as my physical health. I can't imagine my life with out yoga & when life starts to get tough an hour on my mat makes things seem much easier. It is a wonderful thing & I feel blessed to be able to share it with others. It truly is the best job in the world! :-)
I have 2 BA honours degrees 1 in textile & surface design & 1 in fine art. I LOVE cycling & have done several charity rides in the UK & abroad. I also love sea swimming & swim all year round.
I love food, I am a passionate vegan chef & have worked as a professional chef in a vegan cafe & for a vegetarian caterer doing huge events & festivals in the UK.
I have 4 children & 6 Grandchildren.
I am happy to teach for expenses (travel, visa, food, accommodation) & a very small wage to cover my insurance, professional development, the occasional new T shirt etc, I don't have a base/home, I don't drive, my footsteps on this planet are light but unfortunately I am not wealthy I cannot pay to teach."
