Our Founder - Veronica Greene
Veronica is dedicated to her yoga practice and improving her knowledge of the body, mind and the interaction between the two. She regularly undertakes additional study with ‘experts’ in their field. Recent personal trainings (not online courses) include:-
Liz Koch – international educator and author on the Psoas (the emotional muscle)
Leslie Kaminoff – author of ‘Yoga Anatomy’
Julie Gudmestad – Physiotherapist & Iyengar Yoga Teacher

Veronica first started practising yoga while studying for her degree in Engineering. On graduating she moved to Edinburgh and started a career in IT spanning 17 years. Here she attended her first Iyengar Yoga class (1990). The precision and attention to alignment appealed to her engineering mind, and she was hooked.
After the birth of her second daughter, Veronica founded “Little Greene Yoga” in Glasgow, Scotland (2005). Veronica qualified in Iyengar yoga to Junior Intermediate Level 1 although stepped away from remaining certified. She is a qualified yoga instructor for children, and is a registered Senior Teacher (SYT) with Yoga Alliance Professionals. This accreditation demonstrates excellent standards as set by Yoga Alliance Professionals. Veronica is also a faculty member of Kids Yoga Academy. She has been teaching adults for more than 25 years and children for the past 16 years.
