My mission as a teacher is to offer teachings from my years of studying in a way that is accessible and useful. The practice of yoga has true potential to enhance ones' experience of self and the world around. The techniques have a capacity to strengthen connections between the body, mind and inner nature.
My teaching approaches this through asana and gently introduces some of the more introspective aspects of the practice.
​
The benefits of yoga are not only physical - flexibility, strength and enhanced proprioception. Cultivating focus makes it possible to dim competing distractions and move inquiry to a deeper level.
You may find equanimity in your temperament, perhaps more control and understanding of your emotions. You may find calm, a moment of peace.
As a student I am passionate about the study of multiple aspects of Yoga. From history of the origins, Indian philosophy, anatomy, meditation and developments in western science that apply to the practice today.
I will remain forever a student and am so grateful to hold space for other students as a teacher.
​
In my mid-20s I came to find yoga with a friend at a studio in California. Through regular physical asana practice I formed a new relationship with my body. I was hooked; travelling around the world, taking different class styles with different teachers in different studios.
​
After 3 years I decided to dive deeper; taking teacher trainings, establishing a deliberate Ashtanga practice and a blossoming meditation practice.
My curiosity led me to embark on a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation course in 2020. Furthering this journey I embarked on 8 week MBSR and MBCT courses.
I continue to explore and use these tools to inspire change in my life, to come to a more present way of living.
