Hello and Welcome to my Yoga Alliance Professionals profile!

A little about me... I had been a fan of pilates and yoga for many years, before discovering that I had Graves’ Disease, also known as hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. With a little luck and open-mindedness, I followed my endocrinologist’s advice to read a book relating to autoimmune diseases. It only took a few weeks to further spike my interest regarding food, nutrients, leading towards Ayurveda. At the same time, the need to step away from a stressful environment meant that immersing in my long established love for yoga; felt like the right thing to do. So in January 2019, I left my corporate desk to join the February round of Yoga Teacher Training Course at Himalaya Yoga Valley, in Mandrem, India.

Today, I passionately share the benefits of yoga with people around me, and I am hoping to reach many more with the aim to assist with deepening, re-starting or simply starting their own practice.

I am dedicated to honouring and sharing traditional Ashtanga and Hatha yoga practices, as I learnt from my guru and school in India. I follow the Himalayan tradition of yoga meditation, combining Ashtanga yoga with an Iyengar focus on alignment, vinyasa for strength and conditioning. Pranayama breath control techniques and meditation are seamlessly woven into the classes. You will find a great balance between challenging our bodies as well as our minds during my classes. 

In May 2019, I attended a Yoga For Cancer course, further expanding my knowledge through the wonderful Morven Hamilton of Yoga By Nature. I welcome all students, patients and their loved ones, to get in touch with any questions, whether it's on yoga for cancer, general yoga, stress release or any special, individual request.
