For me, yoga is a living, breathing practice of self-inquiry, presence and connection. I feel privileged to share this journey with the Evolve community, and to support others in finding their own authentic voice as teachers

​

I was first drawn to yoga through the physical practice of asana. A few decades later, my curiosity has deepened. I wanted to understand more about yoga’s wider impact on health and wellbeing. As I began to cultivate a pranayama practice and continued advanced trainings with Vicki, my understanding of the breath truly transformed. It became the heart of my daily practice, and the foundation of everything I now teach and share.

​

Recognising the important connection to the rich lineage of Kaivalyadhama and its unique focus on the breath, my journey continued eight years ago with my second 200-hour training with Evolve Yoga Training.

​

I now weave together research-based evidence and my clinical background as a nurse with the lived experience of yogic practice. This blend of science and tradition has given me an authentic and grounded way of guiding students  one rooted in both knowledge and practice.

​

As a Senior Yoga Teacher, I work with the wisdom of the Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga Yoga), where asana is not the end point but a gateway; a way to open the body and connect with the breath. Without breath, there is no yoga. Through intelligent sequencing and inner awareness, supported by the rhythm of the breath and the use of focal points, students can cultivate presence, allowing them to feel and acknowledge whatever arises in each moment.

​

I believe we can only guide others authentically once we have observed and experienced the benefits of practice for ourselves. This is why I, and Evolve, support students in developing their own personal practice as the cornerstone of our teaching. Encouraging them to notice the shifts within body, breath and mind. And to grow from that lived experience.

​

Alongside yoga, I draw from Ayurveda, the science of life, which has supported me deeply, and which offers others practical ways to find balance physically, mentally, and emotionally. Its wisdom helps us to support wellbeing through nutrition, self-care, and daily routines, while also teaching us to connect with the natural world. Understanding how living in harmony with the seasons and elements can nourish and restore us.
