From a young age I felt an affinity with the natural world, the ocean, the mountains, the wild flowers and the animals of northern California were my teachers. I was immediately moved by the profound spiritual teachings and feelings of expansion and lucidity I experienced in sivasana. I continued to form my life around my practice and soon completed my teacher training in January of 2010 in Boulde
r, Colorado, which was dove tailed by workshops and intensive courses in San Francisco and Boulder before meeting a monk who inspired me to quit my day job in marketing and buy a one-way ticket to Asia. And so it began, the life-changing solo jaunt to the Far East that would land me on the other side of the world...During my time I spent in Asia and India, I delved into the more traditional practices of asana and yoga philosophy, studying Ashtanga and Iyengar as well as participating in a one-month training at the Krishnamacharya Madirim in Chennai, India. I landed in Melbourne after a year of self-observation and spiritual contemplation, and felt deeply connected to my breath and heart. My fascination with the wisdom traditions of the east has brought me in contact with inspiring teachers of ta**ra, kundalini, advaita vedanta and practices rooted in the subtle energy body. My continual search for transcendence of mind has established within me a deep connection to the ashtanga yoga system. I see my experience on the four corners of my mat as a life long journey into my mind and my body and encourage my students to still their minds and open their hearts to a life full of joy compassion, awareness.
