Although I started practicing yoga at 19, I was a very unlikely yogi. I was at university, studying and playing hard, swimming and rowing competitively, skydiving on my vacation time and generally behaving as though it was my last day on earth. Over the years, I started to engage with yoga as the best way to connect with my heart and soul, calm the crazy mind as well as work with the physical body. After burning out of a successful corporate career, I sold out of my business and went to Bali where yoga helped me fix stress, fatigue and incapacitating lower back pain. I returned to London and completed my first 200-hr YTT at Yoganesh in East London in 2012. Since then, I have taught private 1-on-1 and group corporate classes in London and over 300 hours of studio classes while managing Grounded Yoga & Wellbeing on Koh Tao in Thailand. I then completed an additional 200-hrs with the amazing Les Leventhal and went on to teach a full Anatomy & Philosophy theory syllabus as part of Mahi Yoga based in Goa. Most recently I have been teaching studio, private and corporate classes in Berlin while coaching new yoga teachers. My regular classes are dynamic and energizing with a strong body mind focus. I also specialize in therapeutic yoga for stress and adrenal fatigue and have trained with Leah Barnett and Fiona Agombar, leading experts in this field. I’m an anatomy geek and a philosophy nerd and love to focus on the guiding principles of the Yamas and Niyamas as they relate to present everyday life. Lastly, I am the founder of Yoginomics, a business community for teachers combining heart and soul with commercial purpose. My friends say I am a follower of dreams as well as a business brain and I am excited to collaborate with, coach and mentor the next generation of beautiful amazing and talented yogis and teachers.
