I'm a qualified 250hr Yoga Alliance & yin teacher since May 2016. I consider myself a student of yoga first & foremost. I feel privileged to be able to share my journey so far & enriching my teaching experience by continuously learning from my students & peers, continuously taking workshops & further trainings with some great teachers. I started practicing different styles of yoga around 10 years ago (2008), Hatha, Ashtanga, vinyasa & yin. Coming from a dance performance background, I was initially drawn to the physical aspects of yoga, flowing sequences, like dance, moving through the postures. I also felt I'd gotten a great workout! I soon realised there was so, so much more to yoga than the physicality. I developed more of an interest in meditation, spent some time on Vipassana courses & this aspect I like to incorporate in my classes, especially Yin. Drawing inspiration from different styles of yoga, I love to create dynamic sequences that are challenging & FUN with a focus on breath, safe alignment, mindfulness & hope to inspire others on their yoga journey. I believe yoga is for absolutely everybody. I am also Pilates Mat level 1&2 qualified. Hope to see you on the mat soon!
