My Journey 

With a lifelong passion for yoga rooted in personal healing and discovery I bring over 25 years of committed Iyengar yoga practice to my teaching.

My journey began in 1982 during university, when I attended free lunchtime sessions by the Hare Krishna Temple. After exploring various classes - and setbacks - I found my way back to yoga through self-practice with an Iyengar book I found in Germany.

​

I've since trained extensively, starting with a foundational teacher training at VYASA in Bangalore, and later learning under senior Iyengar teachers Karin O'Bannon and Peter Thomson.

I'm a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, a registered teacher trainer with IYA and have completed over 670 hours of advanced teacher development. 

My training also includes Somatic Movement therapy, body centring and Reiki.

From 2000-2006, I taught in studios across Singapore, before opening my own studio in 2003, where I taught exclusively from 2006 onward.

Now based in Cape Town, I'm in the process of establishing  new yoga space grounded in the Iyengar tradition.

​

My approach to yoga is deeply informed  by a personal journey through trauma and transformation. The Iyengar method of Yoga has given me resilience, emotional balance and a strong spine - both literally and metaphorically.

Teaching is my way of sharing this strength and compassion, offering a grounded nurturing practice that supports students on and off the mat.

With a life lived across Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Israel, Germany,Scotland, Spain,Italy and Singapore, I bring a global perspective and deep empathy to everything I teach. 

I look forward to welcoming you on retreat and to regular classes -to reconnect, realign and restore.
