I left school and began a 4 year hairdressing apprenticeship in the United Kingdom. I worked in a very well known salon. It was there I met my partner, John.
I have always been into keeping fit, I enjoyed Aerobics in the early 80s and I decided to get my R.S.A qualification in Aerobics, Nutrition, First aid and Weight Training.
Arriving in mexico in 1994, my partner and I became attached to surfing in warm water and absorbing life in a tropical climate, this lifestyle was a dream and the dream became our lifestyle. I began teaching the local folks to eat and exercise to maintain good health, later I taught the tourists yoga, now the children are my yoga students in school.
We opened our salon Jungle Hair Design. John and I specialize in cut and colours and we also have been very fortunate with the wedding hair business. I continue to teach yoga in various locations with private and group classes.
I have attended numerous seminars in the field of yoga. Such great teachers; Sean Corne, Rodney Yee and Baron Baptist to name a few. I travel to Guadalajara on many occasions throughout the year and I am currently studying Iyengar Yoga with Chantel Gomez, Paul King and Iyengar Senior Level 3 teacher Cathy Roger Evans.
I still research healthy balanced food and herbs for individuals from ayervedic / chinese medicine through to pH balanced foods.
I hope you will enjoy Santosa. It is built on deep passion, it is not a ridged retreat, we cater to everybody's needs.
What are yours?
