We practice yoga in the tradition of BKS Iyengar. It's a physical practice, but the goal isn't to balance on your head or contort yourself. Nor is it a gymnastic workout.
Yoga is an inner work of awareness and connection with our body, mind, and breath. We learn to listen to ourselves and create energy systems that bring us physical and mental well-being. The practice is precise and rigorous. We use supports such as ropes, blocks, and walls to better understand and perform asanas (physical postures) in a safe way for everyone.
We invite you to share this practice whether you are a beginner or experienced and whatever your age.

I am a Yoga teacher, Massage Bodywork therapist and Doula. Yoga helped me recover from a traumatic accident and I want to share the emotional and physical healing powers of yoga with others. I received my teacher training from Yoga Arts (Australia) in 2005. I find inspiration in the teachings of BKS Iyengar and am a disciple of senior teacher Peter Thomson. I am certified in Thai Massage by the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai and have studied under Oestheopaths Arnaud L'Hermitte & David Lutt and Itzhak Helman of the Sunshine Network. I also have a keen interest in sports and have trained in Ironman and sports massage with the renown Dr Myk Hungerford (mother of sports massage).
I am wife to a wonderful and supportive husband and mother to 5 beautiful children. I have had 4 successful VBAC births and believe that all women should be given the opportunity to experience the intense joy and transformational power of Birth and Motherhood. I received my doula training from the Australian Doulas network. My first yoga teaching position was as a volunteer teacher to teenage pregnant mums at the ALIFE center in Singapore. I admire the enormous strength that single mothers have and would like to accompany them in their journey into motherhood.
