Information
I'm a Hatha yoga teacher. I have been practicing yoga for 12 years and completed my teacher training with Narayani Rabinovitch in 2001, and a further course at the Sivananda Vendanta yoga centre in Orleans, France in 2003.
I have developed an approachable, relaxed and flowing teaching technique and a strong personal style based on the Sivananda system, but also incorporating the work and inspiration of other teachers.
My teaching focuses on increasing flexibility, building stamina, strength and improving posture, as well as deep relaxation and developing a balanced, meditative practice. I believe in empowering students to develop their own practice; to explore yoga through their own personal experience, to be curious and to approach their practice with a sense of adventure.
I am always a student and in turn hope to bring a sense of working together with my own students. For me the physical yoga postures remind me of the feeling of fun and adventure we had as kids when fear didn't prevent us from turning upside down or bending backwards (or at least having a go). I work towards bringing this sense of safe exploration and awareness to my classes.
