Yoga is such a loaded word these days – it means so many things to so many people.

To me, first and foremost it is a physical practice, rooted firmly in attention to breathing, awareness, movement and soft focus of attention in ‘being’ and existing, which starts on the mat during the duration of class then slowly, in time, can ebb into every-day life and beyond.  At a time when we are becoming more segmented, more isolated.  The rhetoric message not to trust our body, these incredible systems that move with us, hopefully cohesively through our lives.

Yoga supports and nurtures, it anchors into a place of deep knowing, an intuitive voice that the physical body and its interweaving layers light up to. Yoga is a wisdom that the energetic systems embrace and respond to without us having ‘to do’ but just be…allowing us a gateway into our natural state of being, our birth right that many have forgotten.

I have trained with the very physical schools in my journey of handstands / balances and strength, to movement, to anatomy, to pranayama, to psoas, to meditation, to reiki, to hot yoga, to hatha and back…in this spiral of creation which amalgamates in presenting my unique depiction.
