my journey to yoga

For many years, movement to me had only ever existed in the context of sport and competition. I unexpectedly stumbled across yoga whilst living and working abroad in Cape Town; and what once seemed like a fun, challenging class to go to once in a while, gradually became a consistent and non-negotiable practice in my life. 

What brings me back to yoga every time is the subtle yet profound power that this practice has to peel away all of those unwanted layers of beliefs that we've gathered over time about ourselves. To be able to turn up as you are, bring it wherever you are, with no pressure to look and move in a certain way and to be okay with whatever the outcome - this was the magic that kept bringing me back to the mat and the reason I want to share it with all of you. 

I love teaching mandala flow due to the elemental nature of the practise, I find it rich in philosophy and transformative both mentally and physically in my own personal practice. I also love any opportunity to teach a slow restorative flow or extended yin practice to help people drop into deep rest. Whatever the class, you will find focus on going deeper into the breath rather than deeper into the pose. Weaved into my flows you will find elements of strength, mobility, playfulness, stillness and movement combined.

This practice is yours and this space is your playground to explore, and to breathe.
