Hello
Let me share with you one of my favourite quotes by a Tibetan Monk:
“A human being present to himself is more precious than the rarest of gems.”
Yoga has given me the gift of presence and awareness of myself, which in turn has transformed my relationships externally and internally. I encourage anyone to use Yoga as a beautiful tool to combine physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Namaste.
My Story
Yoga & Pilates are the only activities I’ve ever done where all elements of myself are challenged… physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I’ve been practicing yoga for 20 years and teaching since 2014.
My first introduction to Yoga was through the practice of Bikram. I swore after my first class I would never do it again….and all these years on, here I am, teaching it, loving it, passionate about it, invigorated by it and above all, inspired by the students that travel with me on their yoga journeys when they step onto their mats. Having worked in the corporate sector for over 25 years, I felt it was time to align more authentically with my practice and started to teach full time in 2017.
I did my Bikram Teacher Training in Thailand in 2014 and since then have taught in Australia, UK and USA.
We all have to start somewhere and there is never any ending to where Yoga can take you…everything we do in our lives is some form of Yoga. There are always ways to grow and develop and this practice allows us to see ourselves as we truly are.
After 2 years of teaching Bikram, I was inspired to further my Yoga knowledge in India – training in Vinyasa and Ashtanga at the Vinyasa Yoga Academy in Rishikesh, India in May 2017.
In November 2017 I also extended my training by doing Yin Yoga Part 1 and 2 with Norman Blair in London - a beautiful inward practice. To compliment the yoga I also trained in Tibetan sound bowl healing in Nepal.
I'm also trained in Inferno Hot Pilates which I completed in April 2017. In 2024 I completed my fundamentals in mat Pilates through APPI and went on to Reformer Pilates in 2025.
It’s hard to articulate the benefits that working in an holistic environment through Yoga & Pilates have brought to me – but every time I step onto my mat, I simply feel at peace and at rest: like I’ve come home, no matter how difficult it may be that day.
For me, yoga is a sanctuary that supports, nurtures, challenges, forgives and encourages growth and self reflection. There is no greater gift that we can give ourselves, than being present to ourselves. Yoga, in any form, does that. It’s been a blessing that has allowed me to deal with many good, bad and ugly moments in my life. Thankfully it’s not WHAT we practice, but HOW we practice that has the impact.
