About Debbie
Debbie found yoga at the end of 2001 when she was going through a soul searching time. As an actor there were ups and downs and one day she asked that question to the universe- ‘ There has got to be more to life than this?’ I was putting all my happiness into getting an acting job and when I didn’t get the part I couldn’t detach and the lows were lows!!! My background is in performing arts and I hold a B.A. HONS degree in acting and am still a professional actor but becoming a yoga teacher has given me a deeper purpose in my life and yoga helps to centre and ground me in this unpredictable world. I have the opportunity now to give back to others what yoga has given me.
'We are the imagination of Ourselves'

My classes have an informal friendly approach, they are energising and creative but at the heart of them are a sense of well being, believing that yoga is for everyone and it is about finding the yoga in you! When this happens we can empower ourselves and lift our lives to a higher level and enjoy this gift of life which is everyone’s right.. I like to feel I am reaching out to different walks of life which is also at the heart of the Liverpool yoga centre’s philosophy where I am one of the resident yoga teachers there.
