About:
I am an Enlifted Life Coach and have extensive experience in teaching this great practice. I bring my own unique perspective to the definition and practices of Yoga. Yoga is not about making pretty shapes for me, I love teaching and practising physical postures, but practices and postures are viewed as daily Medicine. My classes hold deep ritual, and intention in the sequencing to balance the body through the postures, breathwork and meditation.
Classes are physically and energetically taught with equal motivation to empower students to grow in personal flexibility and strength, guiding each level and layer to each student's ability.
I'm inspired by the esoteric practices and the energetic anatomy of Yoga, the Chakra System and Five Element Theory have been part of my work since starting to teach in 2012 I approach the physical anatomy and postures from a functional approach to Yoga to empower my students. Yoga postures are taught as a skillful medicine, being a way of insight to understand, balance and harmonize energy levels.
My studies involve annual pilgrimages to the Land of Medicine Buddha with my teachers Paul & Suzee Grilley, in both Chakra Anatomy, The Bhagavad Gita and Yin Yoga. I've furthered my functional approach to Yoga with Sebastain and Murielle Pucelle in TCM methodology based on the Five Element Theory. I study with Lama Tsultrim Allione at Tara Mandala currently, focusing on Buddhist Psychology as a medium in meditation practices to heal trauma and facilitate counselling.
I practice Ashtanga Vinyasa annually with teachers Lucy Crawford Scott & Caroline Tautz in London & Kerala, India. Mandala Methodology with Shiva Rae and Dulce Aguilar. And I often travel to Mysore, Mexico & Bali for personal retreat time to deepen my own work in ritual and ceremony.
Since leaving London in 2020, I've returned home to South Africa for the summer months, hosting live workshops, masterclasses and my retreats. The rest of the time you will find me in Greece, Bali, Mexico & California.
