Movement has been central to my personal journey of becoming. I first dabbled in Hatha yoga as a teenager and then returned to yoga in my mid-20s.

 Suffering with burnout and vicarious trauma after years of working in the refugee sector without a space to process what I was witnessing, I was anxious and hypervigilant. Insomnia, gut issues, and various autoimmune illnesses followed, as I became increasingly disconnected from and mistrusting of my body.

 I am grateful to have found a home in Vajrasati yoga during this time, which allowed me to slowly come back into relationship with my body and increased my ability to sense into and be with different bodily sensations. As my self-awareness increased I began to be curious about what my body was communicating to me, the wisdom and deep knowledge that it holds way before my mind catches up to what is going on.

 My journey through different yoga traditions eventually brought me to Somatics, a practice of connecting deeply to our inner bodily wisdom and allowing free movement to arise, often leading to deep cathartic release.

 I am now in deep reverence of the wisdom held in the soma – the body. I practice in order to learn to listen, discern and continue increasing my capacity to feel – ultimately allowing me to be more present with all of the richness of life, the sweetness as well as the darkness.

 This is what I offer you in my Embodied Flow Yoga classes – a space where you are held deeply, safely and intuitively so that you can feel what needs to be felt and move in a way that serves you. You will be guided through a vinyasa flow, building up to moments of strength and ending in deep rest. We will use alignment as a way to increase body awareness and always prioritise feeling over form. My classes are not spaces of perfection, but rather of listening. Suitable for beginners as well as more experienced yogis. Everything you are is already perfect - come as you are.
