ABOUT ME

Having a background in dance and Pilates, it happened naturally that I became interested in Yoga. After taking a few classes in my local gym, the opportunity arose for me to go to India to join traveling relatives. I spent my time in Rishikesh in the north of India, a truly wonderful place. I practiced Iyengar and Shivananda Yoga every day for several hours and being in such spiritual surroundings led me to discover that yoga is more than just a physical practice of postures.

Upon returning to London, I continued to practice yoga, mainly dynamic Hatha and Asthanga Vinyasa, and took regular classes with various teachers. This eventually led me to the Life Centre teacher training course. In June 2008 I fully qualified to teach Yoga.

For me becoming a Yoga teacher represents more then being able to teach Yoga safely and constructively. This is still only the beginning of a life-long journey on the yogic path. Deepening my own practice, evolving, discovering, growing and overcoming resistance amongst others is all part of the yogic experience. Being able to spread and share all aspects of yoga and to help others to improve not only their physical health, but also mental and spiritual well-being through yoga, means a lot to me. Yoga, as well as Pilates, has become an invaluable part of my life.

I like to differentiate between my Pilates training and my Yoga practice, however combined with my dance background, both my Yoga and Pilates practice inform, affect and feed into each other in various ways, and so do my classes too.
