Biography & Training
My journey in yoga began at the ICYER Ananda Yoga Ashram in Pondicherry, India, where I trained extensively. I’m also a life member of the International Yoga Association. In August 2024, I completed an in-depth yoga course in India, and I continue to explore advanced practices, as well as the rich history and philosophy of yoga from the Gitananda tradition.
I believe yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability—I’ve taught students as young as 3 and as wise as 99! I offer both group classes and individualised sessions, tailoring each plan to enhance overall health and well-being.
Sharing the benefits of yoga is something I’m truly passionate about, as it has transformed my own life in so many ways.
My core values are kindness, stability, and living in harmony with the world around us. Helping others has always been my purpose—ever since I was five and dreamed of becoming a nurse, I’ve wanted to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Now, I aim to help others experience the many benefits of yoga.
I approach everything with integrity and honesty, and I treasure friendship, humour, and loyalty. I’m a fun-loving and emotionally intuitive person who cares deeply about health, nature, and living in harmony with our beautiful but fragile planet. I want to inspire people of all ages, genders, and abilities to give yoga a try and discover how it can enhance their lives, just as it has for me.
I thrive in a supportive work environment where I can build meaningful relationships with those around me. Watching others grow in knowledge brings me immense joy; in my nursing career, it was the development of others that gave me satisfaction, and it’s the same now with yoga. I smile when I see someone truly connect with the benefits of their practice.
