I practiced mainly Hatha and Yin for the first few years of my personal journey and now also consistently enjoy Ashtanga classes.

During my second trip to India in 2018, I completed my 200HR Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. Here, the study of yoga was heavily engrained in the philosophical and spiritual teachings that first attracted me to the practice, as well as a scientific understanding of anatomy and physical postures.

I look forward to go back to Rishikesh to further my study of mind, body and spirituality.

I will be teaching Yin classes. Here, I hope to pass on what first attracted me to Yoga with a restorative practice for our physical bodies, as well as stillness & acceptance exercises for our minds.

This is a hard question! I really enjoy feeling the strength in Ashtanga postures and movement of Vinyasa flow, yet equally thrive in the deep connection to body in Hatha and Yin!

Yet, being able to sit in meditation and simply ‘be’ is probably my favourite part of my practice.

In the words of my Guru Arvind ji – “practice, practice, practice”.

There are so many pieces of advice that have helped me through my own journey so this is also a tough question. Ultimately, by seeing your yoga journey as a path to self discovery, you will build faith in yourself that you hold the answers and your body can do this. It’s just your mind you need to convince.

I originally studied to be a History & English teacher and have just recently put this career on hold to further my study in Psychology. I dream of having a holistic practice that has a dual base in Yoga philosophy and Western research.

In my spare time, I try to live as naturally as I can, enjoy extended hikes through Australia’s beautiful scenery and fuel my travel addiction to India & Nepal. I’ve recently got my first taste of climbing up the peaks in the Himalayas and can’t wait to see what else my mind & body can achieve.
