During my early 20's, I discovered Iyengar Yoga as a means of exercise in a local SE London gym. Years later this progressed to classes in London city Barbican where I took part in weekly Ashtanga classes with Rachel Barlow as well as a more relaxing Vinyasa class. I found that the combination of challenging dynamic movement and discipline of Ashtanga, balanced with the spiritual and more restorative Hatha class worked well for me during a busy work day and city life. I was hooked...

 

I found my Raja Yoga  practice on attending a Brahma Kumaris Global Retreat Centre Oxford in 2015, this was during a difficult time in my life where I lost someone very close to me and went through some major relationship and life changes. Raja Yoga truly helped me in learning the beauty of stillness, silence, acceptance and offered me clarity, peace, love and support through healing.  

 

​My practices have enabled me keep fit, strong and healthy, physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally; to still a busy 'monkey' mind, navigate my journey with gratitude and provide the clarity and peace needed to transform, accept, detach, welcome all that I am and make important life changing decisions...

 

Yoga is more than just movement and flexibility for the physical body, it is growth, change, self-love, self-discipline for the mind and soul and can facilitate in finding peace, space and empathy for self and others.

In 2018 I found myself on the path of  a 12 month YTT, with Yoga London, initially to deepen my own practice. After a break in training, I then completed the course in 2019. It was during this time that I decided to share my knowledge and experience of yoga, because of the benefits and growth that it had brought to me. On completing my course I  took further training with Rainbow Kids Yoga to facilitate lessons for children and families. And have also trained with Teen Yoga and Calm for Kids.

​

In 2020, I embarked on my 500hr teachers training qualification to both learn more and enhance my offering. In addition to Yoga, I am a level 2 Reiki practitioner and have gained additional training in Yoga Nidra meditation, Restorative Yoga and Spiritual Life Coaching.

Coming from a belief of living life free of judgement, obtaining peace, positive change, growth, gratitude and love; these feelings inform and guide my teaching and practice, which is focused on helping others connect to their inner strength and discover methods of coping in challenging environments or surroundings and generally  feeling good, enjoying life and having fun!..

 

This combination of disciplines and practices enable me to offer a tailored holistic approach to client sessions, retreats, workshops and events.
