CURRENT MISSION

Happiness is making a bouquet of those flowers within reach... and of course, taking the time to smell their sweetness.

ABOUT ME

Amateur and dangerous fire poi swinger. Open mic tart on the guitar. Training burlesque hopeful. Compassionate. Patient. Creative.

I have been practising yoga with dedication for over ten years and have absorbed the practice and teachings into my daily life as a process of continual personal transformation. After completing teacher training in Nasik, India, I have taught Hatha Yoga and Hatha Flow classes in Nepal, Turkey, India and the UK.

I am passionate about empowering persons to discover their own potential and delivering yoga sessions that resonate on a personal level. In each class I incorporate asana, pranayama, meditation and relaxation with variations suited for the individual. I also deliver meditation and yoga Nidra sessions to aid with sleep problems, emotional trauma and general relaxation. We all have different aspirations in the field of yoga practice, whether the motivation is to relieve back pain, learn techniques for stress management or become physically healthy, I am dedicated to pass on teachings that will engage the student and ignite the flames of yoga practice within.

The primary focus of my yoga instruction has been persons with disabilities. I have taught group yoga sessions to children and adults with various learning and physical disabilities and those experiencing mental health problems. I am also experienced in providing tailored one-to-one yoga therapy sessions for the treatment and management of pain, emotional tension, physical disabilities and health conditions.

My enthusiasm for bodywork and treatment of physical discomfort and emotional strain led me into training professionally in massage and Reiki. I have practiced these healing techniques in the UK and internationally, including treating persons with learning and physical disabilities.

PHILOSOPHY

All happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy. All misery comes from the desire for oneself to be happy.

Never lose your happiness. Problems will come and go, problems are an external situation which have come from others, and they will come and go. Happiness is your own property and you always keep something that belongs to you.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Wow... what a question.

Wandering through the Annapurna region of Nepal on a four day yoga trek was truly a very special time in my life. Being surrounded by amazing views of grand mountains, meditating and turning inwards atop snowy peaks and practising sun salutations as the sun crept across the valleys at the turn from night time to day. It was an all encompassing sensory experience from moment to moment that I relive every time I close my eyes and wander again through the mountains of memory lane...
