MY STORY

My yoga teaching journey began a decade ago with a 500 hour Ashtanga teaching certificate in Rishikesh, India, where I lived and trained for six months.

Ever since, I have developed my passion for yoga, honed my personal practice and focussed and developed my knowledge of movement and mobility to expand what I can offer clients. 

The last decade has allowed me to explore and specialise in a range of complimentary yoga styles including Ashtanga, Power, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Meditation.

Since my introduction to teaching in Rishikesh, I have taught in Germany, Thailand and the UK at teacher trainings and studios including The Ned, Shoreditch House, East of Eden, Path of Yoga, House of Yoga, MoreYoga, Yonder, Paper Dress Yoga, Leyton Yoga, Women for Refugee Women and Yoga West.

As well as teaching groups, I also teach 1-2-1 classes online and in-person where I offer personalised and bespoke sessions to clients of all abilities. 

My love of yoga began in childhood when I would practice with my mum who found yoga helpful in recovering from a serious illness.

From then on yoga clicked with me.

MY APPROACH

Through the use of clear instructions, modifications, props and hands-on adjustments my clients can reap a range of rewards from their own practice.

Yoga is for everyone and I love teaching students across a range of ability, from novice to expert, and encourage my clients to focus on their breath to create a harmonious and mindful practice and a life with increased flexibility and reduced stress and anxiety.

I always endeavour to give back, and share my love and passion for yoga.
