I first came across the practice of Yoga in 2001 in my home town in England. I instantly felt a strong connection to the practice and knew Yoga was going to be a part of my life.

I teach from a place of love & encouragement; Ashtanga Yoga, Prenatal Yoga,Postnatal Yoga, and Pelvic Floor Health.  With these practices I help support women throughout the grace and challenges of their pregnancy, postpartum experience, and journey through womanhood. I hold space for everyone to be in a compassionate relationship with themselves cultivating healing on all levels.

Certified in Ashtanga Yoga by Paul Dallaghan, Neil Barker, Harmony Slater and Jeff Lichty at Yoga Thailand in 2006. I’m also certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga by Juliette Kurth, Restorative Yoga by Jillian Pransky and Pelvic Floor Yoga by Leslie Howard. I’ve studied with Sharath Jois at KPYJA in India and continue to practice yoga daily. Before discovering yoga, I trained as a professional dancer at one of London’s leading Dance school, Laban. Throughout my time as a dancer I explored and developed a thorough understanding of movement analysis and anatomy. Over the past 12 years, I have taught Ashtanga in London (UK), Sydney (AUS) and Los Angeles (USA). Ive assisted many teachers including Fiona Pullen (AUS), and Melissa Cooper Margolin and Pranidhi Vashney (USA). I’ve taught Ashtanga Led Primary privately as well as in studios, ran beginner yoga courses at New South Wales University and at the University of Sydney and over the past decade built my own business Connecting Yoga. Ive shared my teachings to the elderly and the young,adapting the practice to support where my students are in space, time and circumstance.

I live in gratitude to all my teachers: Mark Freeth, Hamish Hendry, Paul Dallaghan, Harmony Slater, Jeff Lichty, Neil Baker, Sharath Jois, Fiona Pullen, Jillian Pransky, Leslie Howard, Melissa Cooper Margolin, Maia Heiss & Pranidhi Vashney.
