Description
My yoga journey began in New York in 2013 when I discovered yoga was the remedy to healing a recent back injury, as well as alleviating the stresses and strains of fast-paced city life.
After establishing regular practice in a variety of styles, from restorative to hot dynamic yoga, my passion for yoga really took off when I began sharing experiences and personal growth with others. I felt a sense of my life being back in order. Yoga gave me the tools I needed to view the world and my place in it from a calmer, happier perspective. I felt physically and mentally stronger, and I wanted to help others to experience the same connectedness with themselves. This was a priority on returning to the UK; I completed my 200-hour certification in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow Yoga at Revitalise, Brighton in 2018.
Vinyasa has always been one of my favourite yoga practices among the others I teach day to day. I find the fluidity and the synchronicity between posture and breath allows the mind to think of nothing else; it’s really the only place I can get in the zone!
Coming from a creative background, I love teaching fun, flowing classes, to get the body warm and the mind relaxed; I’m a big fan of marrying music and sequence and not taking things too seriously! I also enjoy teaching the anatomical side of each posture helping others to understand what’s happening in their body, so they can begin their own self-practice with confidence.
I have been teaching in Brighton’s two most popular yoga studios for the past two years, alongside my freelance work in sustainable fashion design. I recently completed my diploma in holistic deep tissue massage with Jing School of Massage.
The Jing Method blends the best ‘body work’ techniques from the East and West forming an entirely holistic massage experience. I work with listening touch, the flow of energy and incorporate meditation and breath work into client sessions.
