About Me
I first trained as a yoga teacher at Yoga Elements in Bangkok and then at the Life Centre in London, gaining the Yoga Alliance 500 hours accredited Life Centre Level II Diploma and the British Wheel of Yoga's teaching qualification.I have been practising yoga for over 16 years and teaching for eight years.
I specialise in mindful, alignment-based, breath-led dynamic yoga, with proper time for pranayama (breath-work) and meditation.
What really excites me about yoga is the incredibly transformative power of the practice. Whether you are lacking in energy, flexibility, strength, focus or peace, yoga can offer so much to enrich your life.
"Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart.
Everything that moves, breathes,
opens, and closes
Lives in the Self. He is the source of love
And may be known through love
but not through thought
He is the goal of life. Attain this goal!"
(Mundaka Upanishad, 112, 113)
Yoga Classes
All my yoga classes, workshops and retreats include detailed instruction, energising and relaxing sequences and a special focus on the breath. My teaching is all-inclusive and non-dogmatic but is firmly grounded in the philosophy of yoga, especially the practice of 'ahimsa' – non-harming, 'santosha' – contentment and 'svadhyaya' – self-study.The yoga classes are also infused with the Buddhist vipassana, or 'insight' meditation I practise.

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
