"The moment you enter the Now with your attention, you realize that life is sacred." -Eckhart Tolle
Yoga is an ancient spiritual practice, a science and an art. It is a complete system for healing and well being,
guiding us to return to wholeness.
Yoga means 'to yoke' or 'to join'. Through deep wisdom and skilful practice, yoga aims to harmoniously unify body, mind and consciousness in such a way that the body becomes an instrument for treading the path of self awareness.
The word Hatha is a compound of the words Ha and Tha meaning sun and moon. Ha and tha are symbolic syllables used to indicate the flow of breath in the right and left nostrils and the principal nadis
(energy channels) of the subtle body.
Hatha yoga refers to the practices of physical purification which prepare the body for deep meditation. These practises help to purify and cleanse the body of toxins and deeply held emotions, encourage skeletal alignment and muscular flexibility, and awaken and harmonise the energies of our internal states.

Yoga can also help us to clear energetic blockages which build up over time, through past trauma, injuries or inbalances in the body and mind. The ancient wisdom of yoga can provide us with the inspiration and techniques to face the challenges of life, and to enrich our lives with better health and vitality. Through meditative practises and focus upon the breath, the mind can become calm and clear, allowing one to feel more relaxed,
energised and integrated.
Yoga is a remedy for the whole person. Altough there are guidlines and foundations for living and practicing, yoga is a very personal journey. There is no achievement level or competition. Each person works within their own capacity and in tune with their own intuition, and it is for this reason that yoga is beneficial to all regardless of age, gender, religion, body shape or previous experience.

There are many different lineages, styles and teachings within yoga. As a student, I am deeply inspired by the ancient wisdom of yoga, passed down by the great masters and teachers. I am also greatly inspired by the teachers whom I have the honour of working with, each who have developed their own unique teachings.
In my yoga practise and teaching there is an emphasis on drawing from the classical techniques of practise whilst also allowing the process to be quite organic and intuitive, developing ones sensitivity and self awareness. This involves exploring our connection with the earth and sky, the sacred breath and the space within and all around us. We learn to listen to the breath and explore movement with a loving and kind approach towards ourselves
Yoga invites us to open up to the beauty and great light within us. Yoga invites us to let go of the things that keep us from truly being at peace. It invites us to stop. To be still. To know that all that we are looking for lives within.
"Be - don't try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance" - OSHO
My yoga journey:
My first yoga teacher was the late Shjaway Deboer, who developed a system of yoga called Shjanta yoga. Whilst drawing upon the classical teachings of yoga, his yoga was blended with Toaist teachings and Chi Qong. Whilst living in the USA, I completed a yoga teacher training course in Shjanta yoga. From then I spent a lot of time deep in my own practise, and worked with a wonderful Kundalini yoga teacher for a little while. Upon returning to the UK, I did a teacher training course with Caroline Pick - 'Yoga From Within'. This form of Integral yoga was developed by Heinz Grill, who originally trained in Sivanada yoga and then through his own awakening developed his own teachings with influence from work of Rudolf Steiner and Sri Aurobino. Since then I have been working with and have been very deeply inspired by Sandra Sabatini, Angela Farmer, Victor Van Kooten and John Stirk. I am also highly inspired by the work of Donna Farhi, Erich Schiffman, Gangaji, Adjashanti, Jack Kornfield, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi and many wisdom keepers and teachers of the sacred earth teachings and shamanic arts.
Through my teaching, I aim to inspire people to connect with their own inner guidance and space of the heart. Over the last 10 years I have explored some deeply transformative pathways of healing; learning from different cultures, teachers and the wisdom within the Earth. I love to be outdoors, to paint, write and sing, and work with sound as a tool for transformation and healing. Each day, I am joyfully in deep gratitude to the Great Spirit and each of my teachers who in their own way have guided me to touch the essence of the true self.
