My yoga journey began in 1995 in a San Francisco living room where I went weekly to practice yoga with a small, committed group of yogis. It was an incredibly demanding workout, but it left me with sense of calm that I had never experienced before. My practice was sporadic for several years, but after I moved to Wellington in 2003 I developed a more regular commitment to yoga, attending mostly Ashtanga classes for several years. In 2006 my family and I moved to Vanuatu where I was happily surprised to find a local yoga studio with a dedicated community of practitioners. When a friend took over the management of the studio, she encouraged me to begin teaching. I realised after teaching my first class that I wanted this to be a part of my life. I am hugely indebted to Katie Hamilton-King for seeing something inside of me that I didn’t, and for encouraging me along the path of teaching. Shortly thereafter I completed my first yoga teacher training and have carried on teaching ever since, both within NZ and abroad.
To me, yoga is about bringing yourself into the present moment. In my classes I strive to create a space where students can become aware of their bodies and minds and create yoga practices that support their individual needs. I am a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher, certified children’s yoga instructor and trauma-informed yoga facilitator. I have been a student of yoga for over 20 years and I am continuously discovering the many wonders of this practice as I come to understand better the relationship between my own mind and body.
