I loved yoga from my first class at age 15. I knew instantly yoga was 'my thing' and one day I would teach it in my own unique way.

I also had a strong social conscience from an early age that lead me to a degree in Criminology, Human Geography and History and travel and work ​throughout East and South East Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, India, USA and the islands of the South Pacific. I have worked alongside families experiencing domestic violence, held governance roles with the New Zealand Red Cross and collaborated in numerous community projects such a local farmers market, alternative money system, community garden, positive news website, child and adolescent mental health support, Whanau Ora and social housing.

​

Working alongside communities and people with a wide range of backgrounds has given me a deep understanding of the challenges many people face, the beauty and incredible resilience of the human spirit and our responsibility as social beings to support each other in what ever way we can.

​

I bring this understanding and compassion to my role as a yoga teacher and am passionate about making yoga accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. I give a portion of my yoga earnings to inspiring projects responding to social and environmental issues with practical, innovative solutions.
