In 2003 I started my personal Yoga practice. During a visit to India in 2012, with an intense Yoga, meditation and Yoga philosophy daily practice, I fell in love with this ancient practice. I finally felt understood. I found my place.
For me Yoga is not just a form of exercise or a series of postures. Yoga is a way of life, a philosophy of being. It’s just as important how you live your life off the mat as what you do on the mat. Yoga is wellness/healing/therapy for the body, mind, and spirit.
I take inspiration from every teacher that I’ve practised with, and learn from every class and training I take. Personal development is an important part of my life and I enjoy being a student on the mat just as much as guiding others as a teacher.
Studio classes, private clients, workshops, festivals, hotels, corporate, as a full time teacher I enjoy a wide range of teaching opportunities since 2013. I am registered with Yoga Alliance International as E-RYT 500 and YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider).
Do you have any tips for Yoga newbies?
You don’t have to be flexible to do Yoga. Practice every day, even if it’s just ten minutes. Asana, breathing, meditation/stillness… do something every day. You will feel the difference. And, no judgements, for yourself or others.
