A Life - Long Student

MY ONGOING YOGA JOURNEY

Yoga is a journey of endless discovery and growth, and I am wholeheartedly dedicated to this path. My passion for yoga goes beyond the mat and is deeply intertwined with my daily life and continuous learning. One of the many things I love about yoga is its vastness. There is always more to learn, more to explore and more to experience.

I believe that to be an inspiring yoga teacher, you must first and foremost be a humble yoga student. My dedication to studying ancient wisdom, modern practices, and everything in between, enriches my knowledge and deepens my personal practice.

By expanding my knowledge, I also gain greater capacity to share this practice with others and to guide them with authenticity and compassion.

Investing in myself as a lifelong yoga student means that I am constantly evolving. This evolution not only enhances my personal practice but also enables me to bring fresh insights and techniques to my teaching. I am committed to embodying the principles of yoga in every aspect of my life, creating a ripple effect that inspires and uplifts those around me.

My journey of self-discovery

Since 2014, I have been committed to my own growth and transformation. I previously lived a life out of alignment with my true self, in a job that was unfulfilling and in an unhappy marriage. For many years, I felt lost, helpless and that I wasn't in control of my life. This caused me to live with anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis.

Luckily, I found yoga and my life situation began to improve. I implemented a daily yoga practice and introduced positive affirmations to help improve my mindset. My life began to change for the better and I had the courage to step away from the fear and judgement that was holding me back. My daily habits helped to shift my mind in to a positive state and I felt empowered to take steps towards my dream life.

I took 100% ownership and responsibility for my life and it led me to leaving the corporate world, after 15 years, to teach yoga full time. A few months later, I left my marriage. These 2 decisions were pivotal moments in my life which have enabled me to live a fulfilling life.
