How has yoga impacted your life?
Yoga has given me the courage to live with authenticity. To not settle in life, and how to meet challenge through using my breath and finding equanimity. I know I can step onto my mat at anytime and completely shift my energy through asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation.
What is your favourite class to teach?
I love teaching Yin and Meditation, and Slow Flow. Supporting my students to go deep, calming the nervous system and releasing any stagnant energy from within the body and returning to homeostasis.

What is your teaching ethos?
My intention for sharing this wonderful practice is to empower & strengthen our relationship with the innate wisdom that lies within our bodies. I believe this work creates endless opportunities to explore & celebrate what it means to be alive, in all its nuances. The messy, the sweet, the dark & the light. Offering each part of us a seat at the table in presence & curiosity & learning to trust & listen to our intuition while establishing a sense of regulation in our nervous system.
To come together and do this work in a safe & likeminded community is so special & why I will always feel honoured to get to share in this way.
How has yoga impacted your life?This practice has impacted me in every sense of the word. It has deepened my connection to my body, my heart & the earth. It has shown me the meaning of community, healing, compassion & the true interconnectedness of every single thing around us. It continues to guide me through every season of life. Forever grateful.
Favourite style to teach?
I am obsessed with slow strong flows & deep explorative yins all weaved with nourishing somatic practices. I also love sharing ecstatic dance/movement, reiki & breath & sound journeys.
I always show up raw and real & will always be in service to growing & learning together.

What is your teaching ethos?
I’ve always believed in approaching teaching authentically and to allow the practice to
unfold. For me, it’s not about how well you create a shape, but more how you approach it
and how you honour your body throughout the practice.
How has yoga impacted your life?
Yoga has taught me that there is great strength in softening and slowing down. In doing
so you’re better able to explore your inner compass and the innate wisdom within.
Favourite style to teach?
Yin Yoga has a very special place in my heart.

Yoga Instructor
Qualifications
I have completed 200hr Hatha/Vinyasa Teacher Training with an additional 20hr of Yin Yoga and 10hr Prenatal Yoga at Yoga Corner in Melbourne. Hatha/Vinyasa and Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training was with Yoga Teacher Amy Leonard-King and Yin Yoga with Megan Gamble.
How has yoga impacted your life?
Practising yoga has undoubtedly had a great impact on how I move through life - how I treat other beings, how I treat myself and how I take time to reflect on my reactions and feelings. In my humble opinion practising yoga or mindfulness does not make one a perfect human being but rather gives the tools and opportunity to experience life being aware of why we act or feel a certain way, and then perhaps try and change any patterns we are not satisfied with.
I try to bring yoga off the mat to every aspect of my life, including my parenting where the ability and time to look within, reflect, take time for myself as well as remaining calm in frustrating situations has made a big difference.
What is your favourite class to teach?
That would definitely be the slower paced gentle flows - both to practice and to teach. I believe it is a great idea to practice different styles of yoga however taking it slow gives the opportunity to face the thoughts and feelings rising within which we don't often have the chance to in our increasingly busy lives. I love giving my students the permission to slow things down.

​My yoga teaching ethos
centres around connection, authenticity, and exploration.
I believe that yoga is a journey of self discovery, creative expression and a devotional art form, where each practice is an opportunity to connect to the present moment and re-tune back into the deep body wisdom and spirit essence.
I strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment where students feel encouraged to honour their individual needs and cultivate a deeper sense of inner awareness and strength.
I found solace in yoga over 12 years ago as a means to navigate through anxiety, depression and complex trauma. I was able to connect to myself through body awareness and learn to regulate my nervous system and ultimately learn to love myself.
Falling in love with movement as a healing art, my passion for Yoga grew and guided me to study and become a teacher. Strengthening my confidence in teaching was challenging as a very shy and anxious person. With devotion and dedication I built my own unique voice that I'd never thought would've been possible. Teaching for the last 6 years has been extremely transformative and I'm continuously evolving on this journey as a forever student.
How has yoga impacted your life?
For me Yoga has profoundly impacted my life in so many ways. I have so much honour to the practice for providing tools and awareness to allow me to come back to myself and the remembrance of beauty in me and the natural world.
Favourite style to teach?

How has yoga impacted your life?
Connecting with people has been a life long passion and is one of my top values. Supporting clients towards empowering choices has been a major thread through my working life as it has in my personal life.
Yoga, for me, is a way to discover what you can’t see, feel into that, and in the stillness, start to heal and grow. From personal experience, I know that the simple act of turning up on the mat as a daily practice, can help one heal from an Auto-immune disease
I have discovered that no matter what your personal background, or experience level, yoga is always there for you. It doesn’t care what brand of tights you’re wearing, or if you nailed your downward dog today. It is for me a sustaining path through life’s inevitable emotional hurdles and uncertainty into joy, freedom and love.
What is your favourite class to teach?
I love teaching Yin and restorative yoga. These modalities are my favorite as they have helped me the most on my healing journey.
