Come, take a moment, soften into the stillness that resides within…..
Welcome, I am so glad you are here…
Yoga is a courageous journey of self discovery and self enquiry. Forget the instagram pics, or wearing the right tights, begin your experience on the mat just as you are. Let go of the striving and the need to perform or perfect the “pose”. Be brave enough to sit with the myriad of thoughts and sensations that will arise, and soften into the stillness that resides within you. It is here within this stillness and space you have the opportunity to observe, soften and let go.
Experience an authentic yoga practice that is therapeutic in approach and carefully crafted to explore the body, the mind and the emotions, offering the practitioner an opportunity to slow down and self - enquire. These classes are for those who are ready to dive deeply and explore more than just a physical practice and for beginners who are curious to learn about the body and mind connection. Showing up and learning to love yourself and hold yourself gently is an important part of these offerings, as is cultivating a relationship with your authentic self via movement, sound, mantra and breath.
I am a Registered Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Australia, with more than twenty years of experience teaching yoga in Australia and internationally. Over the years, I have explored and studied a range of yoga traditions and therapeutic approaches, including Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Trauma-Informed Yoga and Hatha Vinyasa. I weave this experience together with my knowledge of Ayurvedic principles, anatomy and physiology, creating classes that are considered, intuitive, led with compassion and responsive to students in the class. The practice of yoga is one of great mystery and magic, let go of expectations, explore, observe, feel, and come home.
Classes are welcoming to all levels and experience, with modifications and options offered throughout each practice.
