mind + body work
I have been teaching yoga all around the world for over 8 years. I have always been fascinated by the human mind and body. Through my journey to discover more I found myself in the Himalayas of India studying to become a yoga teacher, and the practice has been an integral part of my life ever since. Yoga set me on a path of personal discovery, development and self-healing that has helped me to overcome many challenges in my life.
Through my teaching I aim to share what inspires me in the hope of helping others on their own journeys. I am an E-RYT 500, Vinyasa-Ashtanga, Yin, Meditation, Breathwork and Yoga Therapy instructor. I have also studied the practice of holistic massage. Most recently I completed a specialised 300 hour TTC in Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy, an 80 hour advanced course in Functional Neurology in Yoga and a 35 hour training in Rocket Yoga.
My classes combine meditation, breath-work and physical asana. Dynamic classes are often sprinkled with a little challenge and lots of fun, while restorative classes are grounding and more meditative.
