A lot has changed since I began my yoga journey, I began at the age of 15 (20 years ago), in a small class at the local gym. It was something I loved immediately, but for very different reasons than those that followed through the years. The first time I went to yoga, I went to gain more flexibility, to aid my dancing at school. Yoga bought me so much more, even if I wasn’t aware of it in that first class. The physical was what took me to a yoga class, and in some ways still plays a big part in my practice.

Many years followed of regular practice, all different styles with many different teachers. I gained amazing knowledge of my body, but also I noticed a change in other elements of myself. I understood my mood, my energy, how these altered and changed depending on external influences. How with that knowledge I could change my mindset and not be so affected by those external factors. I really began to breath. Not the breathing we do everyday, but to really breathe, to fill my lungs and with a deep exhalation calm my mind, relax my body and find focus on what was really important. Seeing the amazing effect yoga could have, I went deeper into my practice; looking for new styles to experience, new teachers to learn from and how I could understand myself further.

What has been the most amazing journey so far, always learning new things, always adapting for my needs in different stages of my life. Yoga has become a huge part of mine and my family’s lives With so many limbs to what yoga is, it is a never ending lesson.

I love to teach yoga and I believe that as I’ve grown, in age but also with experience and knowledge, my teaching has mirrored that. I have been teaching for 11 years and continue to love the offering of yoga. My classes are strong, fun, experimental and always challenging. They are sequenced to move the body into poses where we can really feel the difference from start to the end of the class. You will feel alive and rejuvenated whether it is a Vinyasa class, a Yin or restorative practice.

I wish you all love, happiness and yoga in your lives.
