20 years ago at the age of 19 I attended my first Iyenga yoga class. I knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And from this first class there has not been a day in my life that yoga has not played a part in some form.

I continued to practice Yoga in the Iyenga tradition for 7 more years. This practice was strongly based in asana but I could feel a deeper realisation unfolding the more i moved within my body through asana. So I began regular Vipassana meditation practice as part of my yoga. For me there was no yoga without meditation.

The yoga was working through me and I became drawn to other forms of healing and awakening modalities all serving the yogic intention to awaken to our true nature.

My emersion into well being took many forms; Flotation tanks, The forum, Shamanism, Buddhism, Psychology, Martial Arts, Fitness instruction, Swim Coaching, Taoism and Zen… All became areas of study and teaching. All deepening my yogic practice and all becoming part of my practice.

After a challenging and confusing childhood My mission was to find peace amidst the seeming kaos of life. And to guide others in the same direction.

At 26, (13 years ago) I began practicing Astanga Yoga with my present Beloved teacher Dena Kingsberg. I still continue to study and practice in this manner, however with true heart I embrace all forms yoga takes. As life reflects unto me, all is yoga.

I began teaching yoga 'one on one' 9 years ago as an extension of my personal training business. Through clients it was requested I offer classes to the wider public.

If I was to continue to work with people teaching yoga and health and well being, it seemed essential I extend my background. So I completed a degree in Human Movement, majoring in sports science. I then entered into a teaching degree of which I've not yet finished.

I have now been leading yoga classes for 4 years. And it is through my classes I have had the privilege to meet Lance, Susie and Leshan. Their integrity towards yoga and sharing it with the world has greatly inspired me to further practice and look towards a future of teaching with them.

May every moment be a yogic awakening. Namaste.
