“ Through my own practice, I have transformed old biases into new perspectives. Each time I step on to the mat, I afford myself time and space. It is this sense of moment that I try to share. During classes, I interweave yogic philosophy, and encourage its principles for others to take away. Each class offers something unique, with grounded deep breath work to journey into the present moment. I structure my classes to challenge while offering a time to reflect. I tailor classes to meet the needs of the students, wherever they may be in their individual journey ”

Secret super powers... My love affair with Excel spreadsheets! But beyond that, my superpower lies in my ability to adapt to diverse situations and connect with people from all walks of life.​

Favourite place in the world ... Choosing just one is tough! I believe there's a perfect moment and location for every stage in life. However, I'm drawn to the sea and sun, so living between Europe and Bali is an absolute dream come true.
