My own Yoga Practice

"I have been practising yoga for 18 years since my mid-20's and have found it to be a nourishing, enlivening, joyful system of movement and meditation. For the past 6 years I have been teaching yoga - to adults in classes, private sessions, at alternative festivals, in schools and for youth projects. I believe yoga can assist every single being on this planet because it gets us out of our heads and into our bodies.

In a time when the business of work demands us to be focused, competitive, logical and analytical, it is essential to connect with the feminine principle of aliveness, radiance, sensuality, flow and natural joy. Yoga is one of many spiritual and physical disciplines that does just that. In yoga we endeavour to balance the masculine principle of purpose with the feminine principle of receptivity and love so that we can live a more harmonious life, relishing the journey and adventure of realising our dreams.

I like to practise yoga for myself at least 2 to 3 times a week even if its only for 30 minutes because it really centres me and gets me in tune with my body's wisdom. I can leave the hustle and bustle of my mind behind and just be present to my vulnerability, my strength and the pure grace of being alive in this moment.

At times though I have increased my yoga practise for a couple of months to either strengthen my physique or mental disposition. In the summer of 2007 for instance, I stepped up my yoga practise to 4 or 5 times a week for half an hour, to consciously transform my body so that it was more slender, lithe and powerful. To my absolute delight, even my cellulite disappeared!

Whether you are thinking about investing your time and resources to learn yoga to improve your strength and flexibility, to release stress, to get fit, or to deepen your self knowledge and radiance then I invite you to try one yoga session with me and experience for yourself its powerful effects. Sure, different strokes for different folks but you won't know until you try. Equally it's important to find a supportive and inspirational teacher that is right for you - and if something about this site resonates with you, give me a call. I believe life is all about discovering what works for you - what brings more energy, clarity and joy to each day - in your work, relationships and play. Yoga for me does just that and is an incredible discipline and gift. Once you have learnt the assanas, breath and essence of yoga you have mastered those skills for life. Then you can choose to pass that knowledge on to the next generations in your family and introduce them to a more magical, harmonious and connected way of being."
