I believe in the inherent goodness, wisdom and beauty of all beings, and as such it’s my job to simply put students back in touch with this part of themselves.

Once we taste the true nature of who we are, we want more.

I teach classes that enliven the spirit using breath, movement, sound and stillness. The combination of practices is slightly different depending on the students and setting, but the essence is always the same. I teach from the heart, I teach what is true to me, and I teach what has been shared with me.

I am honoured to share the teachings of Sri Dharma Mittra, and his Guru before him, Yogi Gupta. These are teachings that have been passed down through the Shiva lineage
and have their roots in Indian yoga. I do my best to be a channel for these teachings, to honour them and to share them with you in the purest way.

In vinyasa flow classes, I take a creative approach, weaving movement together with music, and moving the body in interesting ways that stimulates the nervous system and the brain, and opens the heart. Inevitably much of what I have learnt from Sri Dharma is woven into the fabric of these classes too. I often use poetry, mantra and pranayama
to settle the body and the mind and to shift attention inwards.

Above all I teach with compassion. That doesn’t always mean softness! Sometimes we all need a little push, whether that be to stay still in our relaxation, or to go a little further in our asana practice. A teacher for me is someone who shows us something, who shines a light where there might be darkness, who takes us by the hand and says ‘you can!’ I try to be that for my students.
