how it started…
I’ve been practising yoga for 20 years, teaching for the last 7. Yoga became a healing modality that paved the way back into my body. The more time I spent on my mat the more relief I started to experience mentally and physically. Gradually old knee, wrist and back injuries started to disappear and I started to connect back to myself.
my approach
I bring an open and compassionate approach to my classes. I don’t believe in competition, or judgment - just curiosity, honesty and connection. Practising with integrity, honouring your body with both its strength as well as all its limitations, listening carefully to what it’s trying to communicate with you. I’m more interested in helping you release what doesn’t serve than bending you into a pretzel. Using asana and breath as a way back into the feeling, accessing sleepy and suppressed areas in your body, healing injuries and fostering a connection to Spirit.
I am eternally inspired by nature - its natural flows, observing seasonal changes, medicinal plants and the deep wisdom Pacha Mama offers, if you care to listen.
My experience
My background includes over a thousand training hours in Vinyasa, Power yoga, Forrest Yoga, Yin & Restorative, Yoga Nidra, Myofascial release, Movement for Trauma, Trauma-sensitive and somatic bodywork, Psychotherapy, Sound Healing Therapy & Teen Yoga. My personal meditation practice & teachings and how I choose to view the world is firmly rooted in Vipassana. I’m very lucky to have trained with and been mentored by some incredible teachers like Dr Gabor Maté and Ana Forrest, whose teachings have shaped how I show up in front of my students.
