I have been sitting in meditation circles for over a decade and it is from this practice that I discovered the joy of yoga!
Originally from the UK, I am currently living in India where I am studying Iyengar yoga at the Light on Yoga Research Trust in Mumbai. In 2011, I made my first visit to Pune to bow at the feet of B.K.S Iyengar and attend the Gurupurnima festivities.
During my time in India, I made a pilgrimage to Amritapuri to receive darshan from Amma and to connect with the divine mother.
One of the most profound healing experiences for me personally was taking part in ‘The Way of the Happy Woman’ annual retreat in Thailand with Sara Avant and all the wonderful women I met there. During this time, I rediscovered the power of my own femininity and I continuously strive to help others find this divinity within themselves.
In addition to being a yoga teacher, I am a qualified Angel teacher with the Diana Cooper school and have also completed the advanced angel certification program with Charles Virtue. I am a Reiki Master in the Usui Shiki Ryoho system and I also have a diploma in Therapeutic Massage from the London College of Massage.
