I was 14 when I first stepped onto a yoga mat in a church hall, somewhere in the Midlands, UK. I don’t remember it being wildly popular back then, but it felt like a place I belonged.

My 20’s were spent living in London where I worked in a buying office for a fashion chain. As my career evolved over the years, travel became a huge part of my life, and yoga became my constant.

When the hustle of fast fashion and frequent trips to China lost its appeal I took the leap to train as a yoga teacher, quit my job and immersed myself in the London yoga community. Over the years I have studied and practiced a myriad of styles. I spent time in India studying Ashtanga, dynamic flow in Morocco and attended classes and workshops around Europe and the UK. My years of teaching in London hold memories very close to my heart and I’m grateful to have had the varied experiences of working with addiction centres, post inmates, children, corporate and studio environments.

Throughout my teaching career and studies, although I was always been drawn to the dynamic asana practice,  I craved the deeper layers of the practice and its underlying magic. I wanted to learn more about the subtle energy and healing aspects, and so dived deeper into the chakras, koshas and our energy body.  Then one day I was handed a card after teaching. This lead me to a healer who opened my eyes to the incredible ability we have to heal ourselves.

I have since spent time with various teachers and am grateful to Cat Kabira, who has been an incredible teacher and mentor to me.
