I have been involved in expressive movement for as long as I can remember. From ballet classes as a child, I moved through Jazz dance, aerobics, Pilates, Latin American dance, Capoeira (teaching and performing) and finally the discovery of Yoga. I still remember that first Down Dog…what a strange position but so invigorating !!

As with many people who start on the yoga path, I found a practice that not only satisfied me on a physical level but created some mental peace from the activity of living in London and running a busy catering business 

My discovery of Yoga coincided with a new found freedom that allowed me to realise that only I was responsible for how I lived my life and that I did have choices. I packed my bags and left for Australia to focus on myself and to indulge in a daily practice of Mysore Astanga.
When I returned back home I continued to work in catering on a freelance basis and set up body conditioning classes with a strong influence from my practice of yoga.  I decided it was time to explore a little deeper and signed up for The Yoga Academy’s Teacher Training run by Simon Low who had been one of my main teachers from the beginning. What I discovered was that I knew a lot about how my body worked on a physical level but not very much about what was going on inside on a mental, emotional and spiritual level. So my Self-Inquiry started.

After completing my teacher training I went to Thailand to complete a Thai yoga massage training for the purpose of improving my  adjustment skills. This course was taught by Asokananda, the most renowned western teacher in this field. This course not only gave me an incredible tool but also a profound experience during meditation that propelled me into a daily meditation practice and a deeper insight into our true nature.

This course inspired me to live in Thailand for several years where I taught Yoga and Thai Massage in Chiang Mai. During this time I spent 3 months in Byron Bay, Australia, completing the advanced Yoga Alliance Teacher Training with Yoga Arts. I am currently living and working in Balham, South London where I teach workshops and classes on Yoga, Nutrition, Weightloss and Healthy Cooking.

I am a registered British Wheel of Yoga instructor, Yoga Alliance 500 hours accredited and a Birthlight Pregnancy Yoga Instructor.

My teaching style is influenced by the many different forms of yoga.... The flow of sun salutations in Astanga, breath lead movement in Viniyoga, the depth and integrity of asana alignment in Iyengar and the meditative qualities of Yin Yoga. I combine these styles with a strong focus on breath and inner awareness .  I encourage students to listen deeply to their own bodies and the quality of each movement so that ultimately a safe and personalised practice can develop from within.  In the classes I offer alternatives and adjustments in order to tailor the practice to each individual.
