My yoga story
Yoga teaches us to shine the light of knowledge and awareness into all aspects of life, to find our balance and seek out truth.
I believe in honouring both the light and the dark sides of life, and through the teachings of yoga philosophy I invite students to recognise and honour every emotion and feeling, and how each of them should be allowed an equal expression and ability to play themselves out rather than resisting them.
The woven tapestry of my teaching, the asana, pranayama and meditations, the philosophy, intention, and deeply considered eclectic playlists in my classes have often lead students to experience profound change and therapeutic healing. I find great joy in empowering those who come to my class and assisting them to find their own dharma. One of my greatest pleasures is witnessing students to go on to be Yoga/Pilates teachers themselves – 18 so far – and there are many more in my classes currently in training.
Alongside yoga, I teach pilates, and offer Thai Yoga Massage and Training. I am also a Kirtan Leader, and have recently started a Yoga Mentorship Programme to offer students a little extra support as they embark on the journey of turning their passion in to heartfelt yet sustainable careers.
I’d like to invite you to read more about my life as a travelling Yoga Teacher, which embraces both my passions, and about my great fortune to have trained with amazing teachers, and to have taught in incredible locations all over the world.
