Abi - Centre Co-ordinator

I’ve been practising Yoga since the mid 1990s, and have worked in the world of Yoga for almost as long.

I believe with all my heart that Yoga can be life-changing and is life-enhancing, and even when I’m not actively practising asana, it still informs my every day life, and is an essential part of keeping me balanced on every level.

After an early career as a festival and special events caterer, I switched tack in 2001 to work for a small 2-person operation in North London that has since grown to be one of the best-known yoga equipment retailers in Europe, growing with the business as it grew.  In 2013 the founder of the Secret Space, contacted me there to talk about kitting out a studio in Hertford.  I was so excited to see a dedicated Yoga space opening up near home that I was determined to get involved in some way.

So, in 2016 the perfect opportunity arose when The Secret Space needed some regular help in the office, and I’ve been working here ever since, supporting the succession of managers and eventually taking on the role of Centre Co-ordinator in the autumn of 2023.

When I’m not at the Secret Space I can usually be found tending my veg plot, walking my dog, sitting in ceremonial circles, or generally hanging out in fields (often singing loudly).
