How has it been 5 years??

I never envisioned that this would be my life, but I can honestly say I love it.

It is interesting to look back at the many moments of my teaching so far, to see how I have grown, evolved, learnt, and continue to learn.

These are just 5 things that came to mind when I thought about my teaching journey that I thought might be interesting to others who are thinking of teaching and also for my students who have taken classes/practice with me, but there are plenty more.

It’s exciting to think that this is only the beginning, and I have no idea what is yet to come!

All I know is that each week I will keep practicing, and each week I will keep showing up for you all as best as I can. See you on the mat soon! ☀️

I made the decision to start learning Sanskrit more seriously this year, and I am so happy I did.

As a full time Yoga teacher I have always taken it as my responsibility to try and honour where Yoga is from, I feel it is my job to share the rich history, lineage and culture of Yoga authentically and correctly.

Especially as a white western Yoga teacher, now more than ever recognising the roots of Yoga is important and I honestly believe all Yoga teachers should be learning Sanskrit. I spend hours doing āsana, but what about the rest of it? I share quotes from the 8 limbs, but do I really get it?

I am not here to shame anyone or make people feel bad, it took me many years to make the decision. I put it off because I thought it would be too hard, I didn’t know where to begin, and I didn’t think I had the time.

I have loved the practice of learning Sanskrit, because that is what it is. Just as I practice postures, breathing, self study, Sanskrit has allowed me to understand Yoga with more depth.

I can’t recommend it enough, and although I have a looooong way to go I am excited about the journey!

Thanks to for being patient and teaching me twice a week every week, if you are interested in learning get in touch with him!

And to for meeting in person and sharing his knowledge and expertise!

Here’s your reminder to stop and look at the flowers. 🌸 🌺

When I go on a walk or wander I have to stop and look at all the things, see if the flowers smell like something, feel the leaves, jump on a crunchy leaf.

My walks feel mindful and present, and I feel more connected with my surroundings. Sometimes when you have a busy day you might only have space for a quick 10 minute walk, but those 10 minutes can make all the difference.

p.s I made a flowers album since moving to SB and it has 100 pictures so far…😂 hehe

Do you know the best time to begin a Yoga practice? Right now. 🤘

Sādhanā, a dedicated practice. A personal and unique experience. A dive into the unknown.

Life won’t slow down for you, you have to make time for yourself, and it might just be the most important thing you do (trust me).
