Yoga

My connection with yoga and spirituality began at a young age. Even while working as a Financial Analyst within a multinational company, I always felt there was something deeper missing - a sense of balance, meaning, and inner connection that the fast pace of corporate life could not fulfil.

In 2003, I began practising yoga regularly at home, and from that moment, something shifted profoundly within me. Yoga did not feel like something I simply practised; it felt like coming home to myself. What began as curiosity soon became a way of life - a sacred daily practice that continues to guide and support me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

My day never truly begins without time devoted to breathwork (Pranayama), meditation, and Asana practice. These practices create the foundation from which I move through life - with greater awareness, grounding, clarity, and gratitude. Yoga has become an essential part of who I am, continually teaching me to slow down, listen inwardly, and live more consciously.

In 2007, I qualified as a Body Balance Instructor, a discipline deeply rooted in yoga principles, and began teaching shortly afterwards. As my connection with yoga continued to deepen, I went on to qualify as a Yoga Teacher and have been sharing this beautiful and transformative practice with others since.

The transformation I have experienced through yoga - both physically and internally - has been truly profound. It continues to inspire my dedication to lifelong learning and personal practice. I remain a devoted student myself, regularly attending workshops and deepening my studies, particularly through the teachings and philosophy of the Sivananda tradition.

For me, yoga extends far beyond the physical postures. The essence of yoga lies in the union of mind, body, and spirit - recognising that these aspects of ourselves are deeply interconnected and cannot be separated. This philosophy forms the heart of both my personal practice and my teaching.

In my classes, I encourage students to move mindfully, breathe deeply, and connect inwardly with compassion and awareness. My intention is to create a nurturing and welcoming space where students can explore movement freely, reconnect with themselves, and experience greater harmony within body, mind, emotions, and spirit. While the practice can be deeply grounding and transformative, I also believe it should bring joy, lightness, and a sense of ease.

Yoga is an endless journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery. Every day, this practice continues to reveal something new — not only about yoga itself, but about life and about myself.

Yoga is truly my passion, and it is a privilege to share that passion with others.

Namaste 🙏

Pilates

My journey into Pilates began during my first pregnancy, when I experienced significant lower back pain. After giving birth, the discomfort became increasingly severe, leading me to seek professional advice through scans and physiotherapy. The conclusion was always the same - there was no major anatomical issue, aside from a mild degree of lordosis (an excessive curve in the lower spine).

It was through Pilates that I finally began to experience real improvement. Within just a few sessions, I noticed not only a reduction in back pain, but also significant improvements in my posture, alignment, strength, and overall body awareness. The positive impact Pilates had on my life inspired me to learn more about the discipline and its rehabilitative benefits.

As I researched further and spoke with friends, fellow class members, and health professionals, I realised just how common back pain and postural issues are and how effective Pilates can be in supporting recovery, mobility, and long-term well-being.

Motivated by my own experience, I undertook comprehensive professional training, including specialised study in back pain rehabilitation exercises, and have been teaching Pilates since 2009.

My approach to teaching is supportive, mindful, and client-focused. I believe every individual’s body and journey are unique, and I aim to create a welcoming environment where class members feel encouraged to explore movement safely, build confidence, and progress at their own pace. My goal is to help each person develop greater strength, awareness, balance, and connection within their practice.

I am a fully qualified REPS Level III Instructor and hold full public liability insurance.
