Bio
I discovered yoga seven years ago practicing initially Vinyasa flow Yoga and exploring Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Having had to deal with neck and back problems from a full-time graphic design job, I instantly fell in love with the therapeutic results of the dynamic practice but also the solid grounding foundation it gave me spiritually. I continue to develop my studies abroad in various workshops and courses and have traveled to India/in Europe to study with recognized international reputable teachers. I base my own yoga practice and teachings from the Ashtanga Yoga system of Pattabhis Jois and the teachings of BKS Iyengar. These teachers and other key figures in yoga today were taught by Krishnamacharya. Recognizing that sometimes due to individual bodies and various injuries I feel strongly that a yoga practice needs to be customized for each persons needs, in times of therapeutic healing. My love for yoga also extends to creating a happy, safe environment for students to practice and to be challenged - encouraging students to dedicate their yoga practise and lives towards healing, self development and peace.
I am also a qualified EFT Level 2 practitioner. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a unique tool for self development, aids in removing emotional blocks in one's life, helps heal emotional trauma and physical trauma. The theory behind EFT is that all emotional upsets are caused by disturbances in the body's energy system. EFT is a tool to manage and neutralise emotional trauma in ones life.

I am also a Breakthrough 1 practioner which has its origins from the creators of Bodytalk - www.bodytalk.com. Breakthough is a system of looking at our emotional blockages, deep seated beliefs, our defensive systems towards conflict and life. By directly looking at the very reasoning as to why we over react in everyday life situations, our awareness immediately shifts, revealing to us a different perspective of life, changing our relationships for the better with every living being around us including our relationship with our selves.
