Vulnerable reflections – Depend on Me
In recent months, I stepped back from teaching group classes. After such a long journey of teacher-hood, this was a hard one. My identity was tightly wrapped around being “a yoga teacher” — the role, the habits, the behaviour. Suddenly, the life I’d lived for 18+ years no longer felt like mine.
Writing this now, it's obvious to me now:�
I had become co-dependent on teaching yoga, and my students had become dependent on me. Another class, another sequence, another expected routine. I knew it all by heart, yet my heart wasn’t in it. I felt a quiet resentment every time class time neared — a sign I couldn’t ignore.
So I hit pause.
And in that pause, things became clear.�Yoga asana was never meant to be a commercialised performance. It’s a simple, natural way of meeting yourself — your body, your breath, your thoughts.
Somehow, we made it look complicated. Unreachable. Something people could only do if a teacher showed them how.
But that’s not the yoga I believe in.
�I don’t want students dependent on me forever.�
I want them to take the cues, embody the wisdom, and build their own daily practice — at their own pace, in their own space.
Freedom over dependence.
So my path has evolved.
My work now is about transferring tools, not creating followers.
I want to help you… and then happily watch you leave, independent and confident, after one or a few sessions — exactly as it should be.
From here, I’m opening space for anyone navigating health and wellness concerns where I can genuinely support you.
Targeted wellness sessions in movement, breathing, meditation, nutrition, anxiety and stress support, physical rehabilitation, digestive issues and so on, or starting your yoga practice from ground zero.
I’m here to share what I know —�and help you eventually not need me at all.
