Yoga ‘found me’ in 1997, whilst travelling around Australia. I remember my first yoga class, and as I moved through a challenging balance, (vīrabhadrāsana III) I remember feeling incredibly light as if being ‘held’ by an invisible energy-field.
I have continued practicing yoga since then, connecting with local communities both here in the UK and when travelling abroad.
Yoga definitely supported me back to health following a motorcycle accident in 2006.
In 2019 I completed my first 200 hour yoga teacher training, graduating shortly before the global pandemic. Everything moved online, and I grappled with this change as a newly qualified teacher.
It was during this time my personal yoga practice blossomed; finding time to play and explore and a deeper connection to yoga, grew, through online classes with the Vajrasati school of yoga. In September 2023 I began my second yoga teacher training course.
I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of, and welcomed into, the Vajrasati school of yoga and the beautiful sangha (community) that’s been built over the last 24 years.
My yoga classes offer students an opportunity to find their own rhythm, encouraging students to listen and respond to their body, with a loving kindness and curiosity.
I liken my classes to a shared journey, a way of deepening our connection to ourselves and each other, with a gentle focus on alignment and awareness of the breath. I open and close ‘the space’ with my love of mantra through sharing sound.
