01Who am I?
A journey beyond labels, roles and identity.
Yoga was the light that ignited my fire and imbued me with a sense of purpose.
Like many, I was once a “broken person”, navigating life without a compass or true north. Through the inspiring power of yoga I have managed to reinvigorate my life.
This is what brought me to become a yoga teacher. Everybody attends a yoga class for a unique reason: physical health, fitness, mental health, increased flexibility, a positive routine, or simply to be part of a community. Whatever your reason is, I am here to assist you in achieving your goal and to share what yoga has so graciously taught me.
02Ways to practice
Four ways to practice with me.
Strength, flexibility, a calmer mind or simply a community to belong to. Whatever brings you to the mat, there is a way in.

All classes-
01
Hot 26
Twenty-six postures and two breathing techniques in a room heated to 40°C. Always the same poses in the same order, so you can feel your progress.

02
Hatha
Move through a sequence and hold every pose for at least five breaths, challenging mind and body while focusing on the breath.
-

Vinyasa
Also known as flow yoga. You move on every inhale and every exhale, linking breath to movement and focusing on the transitions.
-

Holistic Power
Strength, balance, flexibility and stamina in one unbroken flow. An athletic meditation in motion that goes beyond the physical.
