As a Certified Yoga Instructor (200 hour Hatha Teacher Training recognised by the Yoga Alliance, eight month intensive, 2011-12) with 13+ years yoga teaching experience across Canada and the United Kingdom, including Hot Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Restorative, Vinyasa Yin, Yang to Yin, Care Home, and Children’s Yoga style classes, I’m interested in yoga being inclusive and accessible to everyone. In my teaching and classes, I offer a compassionate approach to exploring traditional yoga practices with elements of somatics, movement, sensory awareness, guided meditation, breath work to help prompt intuitive self-guidance for expanding your individual practice.

I began my yoga journey in the late nineties, studying and practicing in person with renowned Iyengar yoga instructor Burt Peeters, alongside episodes of Lilias, Yoga and You (PBS), all fuelled by an interest in sixties counterculture, art, music, and alternative health. After I completed my initial training, I took part in the Karma Yoga program at Hollyhock - Cortes Island Retreat and Learning Centre, located in the remote wilderness of British Columbia in Canada. This was a life-changing experience where I found myself immersed in community, selfless service, wellness, yoga and meditation retreats for a number of months (and where I had the honour of making Gabor Maté his first raw vegan dessert...he loved it!).

I’ve continued to expand my studies and deepen my practice globally in workshops and additional trainings over the years with Kripalu Centre for Yoga and Health, Hollyhock, Tamalpa Institute, Indaba Yoga and the Iyengar Yoga Institute in London. I would like to thank and give gratitude to my many yoga and meditation teachers and inspirations over the years. My current meditation practice includes a daily practice, sitting zazen with offerings from The San Francisco Zen Centre.

Currently, I teach weekly yoga, meditation and speciality classes and workshops with a focus on women’s health, menopause, and hormonal health with Peppy Health and their expansive global network. Please contact me for more information on my teaching schedule, classes, special workshops and more. Every day's another dawning to learn and try something new: I welcome you to find union, transformation and personal freedom in your practice.
