The Heart Behind Sukha Yoga
Welcome. My name is Tess & I am the Senior Yoga Teacher at Sukha Yoga, dedicated to guiding practitioners toward their highest potential as intentional, masterful teachers. My mission is to blend the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern functional excellence.
My Personal Journey
My path began over two decades ago through a search for meaning amidst a fast-paced life as a chef. What started as a physical practice quickly evolved into a profound internal discovery. Experiencing first-hand how yoga can recalibrate the nervous system and empower the spirit, I realised my true calling: helping others find that same clarity and strength through teacher training.

SENIOR YOGA TEACHER
I was introduced to yoga by my dad during my final year at university. I quickly connected to the transformative power of yoga and after moving to Leicester and starting a family, I decided to train as a yoga teacher with the Sun Power School of Yoga. I will forever be indebted to my teacher, Anne-Marie Newland, who found in me a skill that gave me the opportunity to build a varied and enjoyable career. Teaching has changed my life for the better. Begin your journey as a confident, skilled yoga teacher. This structured training gives you the tools, support and community you need to start teaching with clarity and ease.
