Yoga
We are Body, Mind, Soul, Community and Environment.

There are many interpretations of the meaning of yoga. The root word yuj means to yoke or unite, and my interpretation of this is the present moment, we connect: with our body and breath, with our environement, with community.

My teaching spans over 20 years and is influenced by several frameworks of yoga, namely Jivamukti Yoga, a vinyasa-based (flow style) of which I hold an Advanced Certification, and Iyengar yoga. I have studied Sanskrit and Yoga Philosophy extensively, and Rolfing® and Rolf Movement® have played an important role in how I understand and language anatomy and our special relationship with gravity. I am particularly interested in movement practices as a lens to functional health (how we function and relate to our bodies day to day), personal connection and awareness to our changing relationship with gravity.

On a personal note, my personal experiences of illness and recovery has brought direct insight and unique translation of yoga as a therapeutic tool.

I support, encourage and empower practitioners in what I call 'stretch' moments --moments when we feel safe enough to emerge in a place slightly outside of the ordinary-- and to never assume there is only one approach to anything in life.
