I live in Feilding with my Husband Josh and fur baby Cosmo and new puppy - Poppy, originally from Blenheim.
I have spent the last 9 years pursuing academic success and worked in a corporate 9-5 job. But my true calling is yoga. I first began practicing yoga in 2014 and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Having suffered from depression and anxiety since my teens and experiencing a sexual assault at 19, I know what it is like to fall out of love with your body. Yoga has been a massive part of my healing journey, it is so much more than just the physical postures, it is as much a mental exercise as it is physical. I'm excited to now share this knowledge and passion with my community. My favorite style of yoga is a slow flow, moving mindfully with the breath and connecting to mind, body and soul on a deeper level. My hope is that my students leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and nourished. In my spare time you can find me in the kitchen creating delicious plant based food or with my head in a good book. |
