Yoga | practice & psychology

for balance & bliss

Our inner world
builds our outer world…

Yoga’s origins ‘stretch’ back to the ancient vedic period of India, 2,000-5,000BC! There are countless different schools and styles, but at it’s heart yoga is about offering freedom from suffering and attaining bliss or ‘ānanda’, and ‘ceasing the fluctuations of the mind’.

Yoga helps us to cultivate presence and contentment (santosha). Yoga offers a space to observe our inner landscape: to practice witnessing our thoughts and feelings without judgement, a practice that deepens our presence in any setting. Yoga helps us to practice intentionality, it empowers us to re-author our inner world (impacting our outer world), and it brings more balance and presence to our lived experience. Oh and sometimes, it even increases our flexibility.

Yogis were the original psychologists. Their beautiful wisdom and ‘way’, offers us tools and techniques for healthful living. In yoga, the journey is the destination.

Yoga is your guide home to yourself

Private Yoga Booking

I am available for one-on-one sessions, which means the sequence will be tailored to your unique needs, and the teaching will be 100% focused on supporting your practice.

Corporate Yoga On-Site

Yoga is good for your organisation’s bottom line. Stat. Countless studies have shown that even a 20-minute yoga practice will result in clearer thinking, and improvements in mood, circulation, focus and energy. Yoga reduces stress (cortisol), regulates our nervous system, and re-energises us. It also counteracts the effects of long hours at the desk!

Group Bookings / Retreats

It is a true privilege to share the gift of yoga with people whether on retreat or at an event or conference. Yoga is rapidly being recognised as a key practice to build mindfulness, presence and leadership capabilities - tapping into a broader bandwidth of our wisdom than thoughts alone.

Yoga brings us home to ourselves, builds our self-awareness, and helps us to cultivate appreciation, curiosity, playfulness, and intentionality - skills that will serve us well off our yoga mat, to benefit every part of our lives.
