I have studied with Yoga Teachers including Christine Villiers in Melbourne (Shanti Yoga), Satyananda Yoga, Donna Farhi, and Mark Withwell (Yoga of Heart). These lineages all share a commitment to traditional Yoga, to the power of the breath, to increased awareness. My teacher training was with IYTA and continues with ongoing explorations. My background is in contemporary dance and writing. I've lived a lot; I work in an office and I'm a mum. I feel strongly that Yoga is not about striving for perfect postures or pushing into pain, which can compromise the body, add tension and even lead to injury. "You don't have to touch your toes to touch your heart," Shanti Gowans.

My Story

Becoming intimate with your breath, guiding the mind to follow the breath, the dance of inbreath to outbreath, the rhythm of nature, moving to feel good, connecting into our body and physical energy, celebrating life and releasing tension. #stress_relief' #mindfulness #hatha_yoga #breathing I have studied with Yoga Teachers including Christine Villiers in Melbourne (Shanti Yoga), Satyananda Yoga, Donna Farhi, and Mark Withwell (Yoga of Heart). These lineages all share a commitment to traditional Yoga, to the power of the breath, and to awareness. My teacher training was with IYTA and continues with ongoing explorations, workshops and research. I am so curious about the potential of yoga as an antidote to the busyness and stress of modern life. I’m drawn to yoga nidra, trauma sensitive yoga and yoga for seniors - this is where yoga will just be recognised to be so valuable for helping people to accept, heal, expand and live. Everyone has their own yoga, the one that works for them.

Yoga is not about striving for perfect postures or pushing into pain, which can compromise the body, add tension and lead to injury. Yoga is for healing and expanding by working with the body you have now and loving the life you have now. "You don't have to touch your toes to touch your heart," Shanti Gowans.

I do my yoga every day. Every yoga teacher should be turning to their own practice every day.
