About:

I am a proud Capetonian from the deep South, passionate about culture, travel, food, yoga, sound healing and the outdoors. I am a Yoga teacher, tourguide, Retreat facilitator and Sound Healing therapist.
I love spending time connected to nature:- in the forest, mountains and in the ocean. Along with my love of Yoga, I also have very itchy feet, and love to travel, through my work as a tourguide as well as for personal travel.

My spiritual journey began in 2007, when I travelled to South East Asia. I found myself living in a treeehouse in a village in the North of Thailand, and started to reflect on my life. Inspired by the lieftsyle around me, I began to practise yoga, study Eastern philosophy and explore alternative healing and sustainable living. Returning to Cape Town, my thirst for moreyoga knowledge and self enquiry, led me to find Viktor van der Kleij. (When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!) 
I visited Viktor's forest ashram deep in the Knysna forest numerous times to learn more and eventually began my teacher training with him.
I spent 6 months living at the ashram, where I assisted Viktor to run the ashram, as well as continuing my yoga studies.

I've since been teaching classes, workshops, events and wellness retreats for the last 5 years, both within the Western Cape and overseas.
Nepal and India are 2 of my favourite places in the world, and I have spent some wonderful time there, studying Yoga & Sound healing. 
I feel honoured to be able to share the teachings of Yoga, and aim to make it accessible to everyone. My classes focus on breathing, alignment, mindful movement, meditation and deep relaxation. I love to include chanting and sound with Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and sacred mantras.
