"I first encountered yoga while travelling in India in 2008. It only took a few classes before I realised that it was special.
Since then, I have returned to India many times, continuing to train and learn from teachers in various locations. I have been exposed to various styles of yoga. I learned alignment-based Hatha Yoga in the Himalayas in north India. I spent time living in an ashram learning meditation techniques. I travelled to Mysore in the south of India to experience Ashtanga. Most recently, I studied Ayurvedic Yoga Massage techniques.
I continue to remain open to learning and loves to expand my knowledge and practice by experiencing new styles of yoga. This varied background of yoga 'lineages' that I have experienced has given me a rounded practice and a deep understanding of the subtleties of yoga. I have a degree in eastern religions, which also gives me a sensitive understanding of the historical and cultural sources of yoga, and how they play an important part in shaping modern yoga practices.
My own regular practice helped my body become stronger and more flexible; it helped me find confidence, health, and generally become happier within my own skin and life. I teache because I want to share this with everyone. I believe that the tools in the 'yoga toolbox' are very powerful and it is my passion and joy to share these tools so that everyone can have the same opportunity to make lasting and positive changes in their life.
When not practising, thinking, or learning about yoga, hmy varied interests include landscape and travel photography, piano, art and craft, baduk, and hiking."
