About me
“Bring kindness and compassion to yourself and others, both on and off the mat.”
My yoga journey
Through Yoga, I teach an appreciation of our present state of being (mindfulness), to help counteract the stresses of daily life. I will guide you to go deeper with breathing techniques (Pranayama) & physical poses (Asana) before a well-deserved relaxation (Savasana). I use a non-competitive approach to allow you to challenge your own physical and emotional boundaries, where I always offer alternatives to accommodate all levels, being kind to our bodies through practice of Ahimsa (non-harm).
I teach both Yin and Yang styles. Yin is still while Yang is more dynamic style of physical practice.
My Vinyasa classes are dynamic, challenging and playful, synchronizing movements with the breath in a moving meditation, and focusing on effortless transitions.
​
In Ashtanga classes I take a philosophical approach, working within yoga structures which reflect a deep respect for tradition and heritage.
​
My Rocket Yoga class is dynamic and full of fun, it is integrated with vinyasa flow, with lots of (optional) inversions and balances. It’s an ideal way for curious yogis to get inspired, and to try new challenges in a creative and supportive environment. Taking it to the next level.
Yin and Restorative classes are about grounding and being passive, accepting, looking inwards into ourselves, reflecting and restoring our energies.
​
My teaching approach is based on the Eight Limbs of Yoga from Ashtanga philosophy. I have a deep appreciation of Yoga history, philosophy and science, and in my teaching I share the philosophical as well as the physical aspects of practice, always implementing the “4 Ds” - Dedication, Devotion, Discipline and Determination.
​
I was introduced to Yoga when I first moved to London in 2002 and have become a keen practitioner ever since. I have undertaken the first 200 hrs teacher training with Rebecca Ffrench from "Yoga London" and 500 hrs advance trainings with Dulce Aguilar and Jamie Clark from "Yoga People" in Rocket, Mandala Vinyasa Yoga, and continuing my further training with various world’s greatest teachers: Maty Ezraty (Yoga Advance), Edward Clarks (Tripsichore), Uma Dinsmore-Tuli (Pregnancy Yoga), Murielle Burellier & Sebastian Puchelle & Bernie Clark (Yin Yoga), Anna Ashby (Restorative Yoga), David Swenson (Ashtanga), Mark Kan (Dharma Yoga), Eileen Gauthier (Ashtanga) and David Robson (Ashtanga).
I am also a certified Ayurveda Yoga Massage therapist.
I continue to develop a deep understanding of Yoga history, philosophy, science and the relation to the body + mind, and to share with my community. I share my knowledge with my students to remove any attachments (thoughts and fears that may bring negative energy) and instead bring positive vision, kindness and love into their lives by understanding and accepting the true self, inviting purity into the body and mind.
