I have had a long on again and off again relationship with yoga! So, it's still surprising to me sometimes that I am a Yoga teacher!
I was originally drawn to yoga to become strong and flexible but I tended to feel uncomfortable and intimidated in classes.

 

When I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's a Naturopath I was working with advised me to take a yoga class. 
I felt angry with that suggestion! How was yoga going to help my autoimmune condition??

​

Fast forward some years of more on again off again yoga (I kept trying!) and it clicked for me in a Yin Yoga class. I needed to attend to my stress. 

 

Yoga wasn't a tool for me to use to force my body into being flexible. Yoga wasn't the place for me to compare myself to others.

 

Yoga was for me to be okay with who I am, my body and mind, in that moment. Yoga was a place for me to breathe and release tension.

 

I am passionate about sharing yoga with others who love or may not love yoga (yet!).  I happily explain alignment, encourage you to find a way to make a pose work for your body, and gently challenge you to increase your self compassion.

 

My yoga classes are for all levels and are typically influenced by the Five Elements. I weave in breathing, mudras, poses and movement, somatics, and meditation.
