I came to yoga feeling unfulfilled and lost, I was also looking for something to help calm the anxiety and stress I was facing at the time.
Over my years of practice, I have gained tools to help me manage my energies and anxieties and have found an access to an inner peace and quiet (this of course, needs consistent maintenance and is why it’s called a 'Practice').
Having originally trained in Hatha/Ashtanga I now practice and teach in a much more embodied way, allowing us to drop out of the mind and into the body. I use a combination of Yoga Asana, somatic movement and breathwork to rebalance and calm the nervous system. These have been the practices I have personally found most profound and of course I will continue to learn and evolve.
My style is soft, fluid and often breath led. There's no strict alignment, just you and your body however it needs to be in that moment.
"Yoga is not a work-out, it is a work-in. And this is the point of spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are.”
