My Skills:

My favourite style to teach is Creative Flow, but I enjoy teaching a variety of styles to suit different needs. I’m trained in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Pre- and Postnatal yoga, allowing me to guide students through diverse and meaningful practices.

My Interests:

I love spending time outdoors, discovering new places with friends or my children and singing (often very loudly) along to my favourite music.

My Journey:

I was first introduced to yoga during my years as a singer and dancer, but it wasn’t until I faced a difficult period with poor mental health and a broken relationship that yoga and meditation truly transformed my life. Through this ancient practice, I found a profound sense of freedom and healing.

This deep connection to yoga inspired me to pursue teacher training to better understand its authenticity and evolution. It was the best decision I ever made. The people, teachers, experiences, and challenges I encountered during my training continue to influence how I teach today.

My passion for prenatal yoga was sparked even before I had children. A few years after my initial training, I studied Pre- and Postnatal Yoga while pregnant with my second child. That journey was invaluable. Experiencing pregnancy-related challenges firsthand helped deepen my understanding of how yoga can support the body through pregnancy, providing comfort and ease when it’s needed most.

What Gets Me Up in the Morning:

My two young children—and the promise of a much-needed cup of coffee!
