About
I began my yoga journey 15 years ago in search of recovery from knee injuries and a major surgical procedure. Years of compensating for a weak joint had also led to persistent hip and back pain. I needed to move and exercise again, but many of the sports I once enjoyed were no longer an option.
Yoga not only aided my physical recovery, bringing balance, ease, and strength to my body, but also fostered balance, ease, and strength in my mind and heart. It supported me through the health challenges faced by my children and my own ADHD diagnosis. Yoga has become my foundation of acceptance, resilience, optimism, and trust in life.
Like many of my fellow yoga teachers, transitioning to teaching yoga marked a meaningful new chapter after my career in social and market research, homemaking, and child-rearing. I continue to find joy in working with young children as a part-time French teacher for the Clapham Junction, Northcote Road and Balham French communities.
Diving into the roots of yoga and its philosophy has brought me back to the times when I frequently travelled to Asia and South-East Asia, where I first developed a deep interest in its cultural and spiritual traditions. These intimate aspects of yoga are deeply ingrained in me, and I’m always eager to share them when they can enhance, support, or soothe others' experiences.
My journey of learning and growth is ongoing. I attend weekly Iyengar classes and participate in several teacher-oriented workshops each year. I also dedicate time to reading and research.
My sincere intention is to offer the best presence, care, guidance, and experience to everyone who practices with me.
My heartfelt thanks to Mai Nguyen, Claire Plastow, Alison Boulton, Hana Saotome and Inbal Gatt for inspiring me, guiding me, and illuminating the path.
