"Be the change you wish to see in the world" Gandhi I fell in love with movement at a young age, starting my journey at 3 years old as a dancer. Through dance I grew confidence, body awareness and have always been a lover of movement. As a teenager I was passionate about teaching dance to children and passing on my love of the art. I initially found yoga through vinyasa and was captivated with the fluidity of the vinyasa movement. It was the movement and the flow that attracted me and the stillness that keeps me coming to my mat each and every day. I am a lover of nature and travel and embrace every opportunity to be outside and try to incorporate this into my practice. I aim to focus on alignment and try to incorporate different options as every pose will look and feel different in every body. I incorporate the science and anatomy as my background is in the maths and sciences. I overcame a serious knee injury which has strengthened my practice and the recovery has allowed me to be self-aware and provide more options to others who may also be overcoming injury and/or surgery. I emphasize safety and gratitude to our body for being where it is right now. My mission is to share my love of movement and stillness, while safely embracing out individual alignments. My goal is to support self-awareness and kindness to ourselves and others by providing a welcoming yoga community.
