Hari Aum,

My yogic journey began in 2016 when I was hit with loss and grief when my mother and grandmother both became unwell. Desperate to find some assistance with navigating these feelings, whilst also remaining a grounded mother myself, I went to my first yoga class.

I fell deeply in love with the ancient practice and returned day after day to my mat. I found all the physical work that I did in the Asana (Yoga poses) helped me to become not only physically but mentally stable too, upon meditating I noticed an overcoming from the irritability of remaining still, which in turn helped me to remain grounded in life and able to cope with hard things that came my way off the mat.

“Yoga has taught me that no matter what storms may come my way I can remain grounded, and calm and move through life with ease”.

I follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle, a natural system of medicine that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago and is the sister to yoga. Ayurveda translates to knowledge of life and is based on the five elements of nature.

Among other principles, this involves eating with the seasons, sleeping with the sun and moon cycle, and timing meals with your circadian rhythm. While lifestyle and self-care practices are part of Ayurveda so too, are the use of herbs and spices, oral hygiene, mental wellness and massage.

“Ayurveda is a science that provides us with the knowledge of how to prevent disease and how to eliminate its root cause if it does occur”.

The current yoga styles I teach are Hatha, Tantric Vinyasa and Yin Yoga.

I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
