Naomi is a Yoga Teacher and Breathwork coach from Bristol. She started practicing Iyengar Yoga in 2009 when she was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME. Prior to that she was a runner, regularly doing 10ks and half marathons, but her illness meant that she couldn’t run to the end of the road without pain and exhaustion setting in. The way that yoga created energy, rather than burnt it up was quite overwhelming for her. It was quite clear that yoga wasn’t just ‘exercise’ and she fell in love with it from the first class!

Naomi completed 2 years of Iyengar Yoga teacher training 2016. She travelled to India to complete a month of study at the Iyengar Institute in Pune in 2019.

In 2014, she discovered the Wim Hof Method. The breathwork, in particular, was like finding the missing piece of her wellness puzzle. In 2023 she completed her Master Module for the Wim Hof Method in the Pyrenees, and became an instructor.

Naomi is now fully recovered from CFS/ME.

All the love
