I fell in love with Yoga when I was 18 at my first yoga class in a tipi at the Glastonbury festival. I was surprised at how amazing I felt afterward, kind of light but grounded, content and whole. Pretty chilled and happy basically. I was then taught by an amazing teacher at University called Vinod who inspired me to become a teacher. Since then I have been hooked. I did a Sivananda teacher training course in Kerela, India, and a Hatha Yoga teacher training with Universal Yoga in Dharamshala, India and carried on to do other trainings in the UK. ​I have been in love with the ocean for a long time. Some connection which feels like its been there within me for many lifetimes. Most of my events and retreats involve the healing power of the sea. I teach SUP Yoga (yoga floating on boards in the water, and paddleboarding in the summer. I have taught in Morocco, Hungary, Portugal, Sri Lanka and France. I am the yoga ambassador for Sweaty Betty, DnB DJ Goldies Yogangster, Ruby Moon and Funkita. I have been teaching Yoga and Surf retreats for 6 years in Devon and have taught other retreats of mine. I have also been a guest teacher at other people's retreats. I have taught yoga at various surfcamps around the world such as Camp Poe in Sri Lanka, Mint Surf in Morocco and The Lighthouse in Portugal, I am currently living and teaching in Brighton teaching yoga, outdoor classes, SUP Yoga, paddleboarding and Yoga. I run Sea-themed Sea Shepherd fundraiser Yoga and Movie nights. I have taught at Ozora festival, Secret Garden Party, UK Hulahoop Gathering, Sccolahoop, Waveform and the Somersault festivals and was the guest teacher at Chamonix International Yoga Festival.
