About Me

I live in the small community of Mayne Island, where I have been teaching yoga since 2008. I also teach classes in Victoria.
I am fortunate to live close to nature and draw inspiration from it to inform both my art and teaching practices. I am interested in developing ways to benefit all levels of practitioners in the
non "doing" of Yoga as we pay attention and attune ourselves to the rhythms and cycles of the natural world, cultivating ease and equanimity.
I have been studying and practicing within the lineage of Theravada Buddhism since the mid 1990's.

About My Service

I offer a variety of classes: Gentle and Intermediate Hatha Yoga, Restorative, Yoga Nidra and Mindful Somatic Movement. Delving deep into the Eight Limbs of Yoga with particular emphasis on meditation (dharana). I like to work with small groups, sculpting classes to suit the needs of the individuals and the group as a whole. I also work one-to-one with individuals to support and structure an intelligent yoga practice based on the current needs of the client.
