"I blend gentle massage techniques into my Yin and restorative classes to help students experience the soothing, nurturing power of touch"
My teaching is rooted in restorative practices, with a focus on stillness, breath, and deep release. I aim to create a safe, nurturing space where students can slow down, soften, and reconnect — free from pressure or expectation. Authenticity matters to me. I strive to show up as I am and hold space for others to do the same.

Is there a quote, mantra, or philosophy that guides your teaching – or your life?
I feel nature has a lot to teach us - the ocean, the seasons, and life’s natural rhythms. Yoga, like life, is about flow, balance, and self enquiry. The world moves in fluctuations and waves, and by cultivating time for self enquiry we learn when we need to build resilience and strength and when we need to find stillness and calm, and breath while the storm passes.

What inspired you to become a teacher?I’ve always loved movement and the healing power of touch. My background in physiotherapy gave me an understanding of the body and perspective on injuries and working with different bodies, and yoga became a way for me to connect body, mind, and spirit. Teaching is my way of sharing that sense of balance and calm with others.

How would you describe your teaching style and the kind of space you hold?My teaching varies from Vinyasa to Yin practices, creating a balance between energy and stillness. I draw on physiotherapy techniques and gentle massage to make classes deeply restorative, nurturing, and safe. I hold a space that is calming, non-judgmental, supportive and empowering -where people can feel seen, cared for, and free to fully relax and be themselves.

What do you do for fun outside of teaching?I’m happiest in the ocean scuba diving, exploring nature, and traveling. Being surrounded by the natural world keeps me inspired, and I bring that energy into my classe
