Why do you practice yoga?
My inspiration to practice and teach reflects my own journey on the path of self-empowerment and realisation from within a moving feeling human body, a journey of healing and living more fully from one’s heart centre
Why do you teach?
When I was practicing yoga as a student it never occurred to me to teach, I simply enjoyed being a student. However, one day in a class, my teacher guided us through a practice for “clarity” and I had an epiphany that I was going to become a teacher, so I did! I just suddenly knew it was the right time. Teaching has deepened my love of yoga because every day I see the affect it can have on people’s lives. My favourite aspect of teaching is my regular students; seeing their practice grow and develop, their body awareness, their strength and flexibility, their shift in energy, their deepening relationship to themselves and source. Facilitating and bearing witness to the development of my students is so energising and helps me be truly present and joyful in each and every class. It’s an honour to be able to share this with others. It’s an honour to teach.
