YOGA JOURNEY

I started a yoga practice in 2008 while living a fast paced London life that was mostly frustrating, overwhelming and uninspiring! Yoga gave me a rare chance to slow down, become introspective and connect to my body in a way I had never experienced before.

Over time the practice taught me how to have easier and steadier access to presence, awareness, intuition and self-connection. It sparked an inner shift that made me happier, more peaceful, and more in touch with the love and wisdom I have at my core.

With a dream to live a healthy, purpose-filled life in service of something bigger, I packed up my London life and embarked on my first teacher training in 2010 with Absolute Yoga in Thailand.

Since then, it has been a journey of continuous learning and growth as I expand my understanding of this age old practice. I completed my advanced teacher training with highly regarded international teachers Julie Martin and Emil Wendell in India in 2014, and have accumulated over 1000 hrs of training in total. I have spent years on a deeply rich and rewarding Yoga adventure, exploring various lineages and methodologies, and will always remain a student of this ever evolving practice. I draw from current research, somatic meditation, tantric yoga philosophy, and the many inspirational teachers, guides and mentors I have met along the way, in the hope I can offer meaningful learning experiences to my students.

I have led groups on retreats to the most beautiful and exotic destinations, shared classes in rustic Yoga shalas in India, ran workshops in slick studios in South East Asia, and trained and mentored teachers from every corner of the globe. Not only have I experienced first-hand the transformative power of this practice, but again and again I have witnessed people from all walks of life move beyond their limitations and spark a change that leads to more compassionate, awake and connected humans. This is the real reason why I love what I do and why I want to share it with you!

PHILOSOPHY
Yogic philosophy really took root in my practice after an extensive six month trip to India in 2013. There I was steeped in the wisdom of enlightened masters, awakened beings and spiritual leaders at ashrams and yogic communities across the South of the country.  My understanding of their teachings always leads me back to simple truths – we are all connected and if we can heal and be truly happy,  kind, and good to ourselves, it will flow to others. Yoga is a path to that healing - it maps a way to access the powerful, loving, infinitely creative intelligence that connects us all and is at the core of who we are. The Yoga practices of asana, pranayama, meditation, nutrition, self-reflection are tools to help transcend our current ego-centric state of being and transform our present understanding and experience of the world.
