Namaste,


I began the practice of yoga 15 years ago and found the benefits so great that it became part of my daily life. Starting with Iyengar and then later more free-flowing forms like Vinyasa, I found my home in the tradition of Ashtanga yoga. In 2011 I made my first trip to the K Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India to study under R. Sharath Jois, and undertook intensive Ashtanga Yoga, Sanskrit and Sanskrit chanting study. I have returned annually ever since, in 2013 making my third trip.


Wanting to delve deeper as a student, I completed the Hatha Vinyasa Teacher Training at The Yoga Space, and have now been sharing my love of yoga to others for over 6 years. Specialising in Kids, Prenatal and Yin yoga, I believe yoga is for everyone.


Along with Yogi Retreating, I currently teach classes at The Yoga Space in West Perth. I am also fortunate enough to mentor wonderful yogis as Teacher Training Manager for The Hatha Vinyasa Teacher Training (350hour).


No two things have shaped my being like Yoga and Travel. The word "Yoga" itself means union, being removed from what is our daily norm and seeing the world in a fully present way, can show us that there is indeed something truly divine that we are part of. My intention is that hopefully after "retreating."
