Since I can remember, navigating my way through life has been a rollercoaster (sometimes not the fun sort), with multiple mental health issues like depression, anxiety and anorexia that were little, large bumps along the way. Now, I am not going to tell you that Yoga saved me completely, but it does offer me a way of managing my stresses and provides a more grounded way for me to exist….as, I still do get anxiety! 

 What sort of yoga am I talking about?! 

Although, I love prancing around my mat like a playful panther, the practice of yoga runs much deeper for me and blends into my everyday world. I use daily breath work to balance my nervous system, movement depending on my mood (even running can be explored in a yogic way), meditations for discovering my mind and constant learning and adaption for my evolving brain and undulating emotions. 

So, what do you really want to know about me? 

I studied philosophy at university, as I have always been someone who loved to question and try to understand things in depth. However, I definitely wasn’t planning to become the next Plato, no matter how appealing lounging in a robe pondering life may be. So, my journey progressed when I decided to delve into a foundation course of psychotherapy at Regents University, but before I took the leap (and the massive expenditure) into my masters, I went travelling in 2014 where India stole my heart. And within India, I rediscovered yoga. 

Admittedly, I did begin as a fiery ashtanga yoga practitioner but soon found this wasn’t really my true calling. Don’t get me wrong, I love a strong Yoga class, but I prefer to tap into more of my creativity and intuition, whilst appreciating our unique anatomy.
