| Bio |
I began practicing yoga in 1996 after completing a self-development course and it was recommended to me by the facilitator.
Working as a Social Worker and Counsellor, I began to practice daily and soon discovered yoga’s healing powers. Since my first class all that time ago, yoga has been part of my daily life and I have maintained a dedicated, consistent and loving practice ever since.
​
I began an Iyengar Yoga teacher apprenticeship in 2001 and have completed certification in this method. I have studied with the Iyengar family both in India and Australia and have undertaken further teacher training at the Himalayan Institute in the U.S.A. in 2012. I am also a certified I AM Yoga Nidra teacher. I am currently studying in-depth teachings and practices from the non-dual Tantrik lineages with Dharma Bodhi of Trika Mahasiddha Yoga
​
My interest in healing has led me to complete further professional development in trauma aware yoga, yoga for breast cancer and in 2018 completed the Therapeutic Wisdom of Yoga training with world renowned yoga teacher Doug Keller. I have current registration as a Senior Yoga Teacher, Yoga Teacher Trainer and Yoga Teacher Mentor with Yoga Australia.
​
Yoga wisdom and practice has supported me through many difficult times in my life and particularly guided me through the profound loss and stillbirth of my first son Ifeanyi. Yoga and healing have helped me be a good person and have increased my ability for self-reflection without getting caught up in the self-hate that usually accompanies it.  My spiritual practice has increased my awareness and trustful surrender to the greatness of existence. Now that my healing has happened, my deepest desire is to truly recognise and realise my own essential nature. And the yoga tradition that has brought me the closest to somewhat realising this thus far, is the ancient spiritual tradition of non-dual Tantra. I’m a committed Tantrika (practitioner of Tantra) and through my dedicated practice I am open to receiving the blessing power of realisation through this life affirming spiritual lineage. I am currently studying under the guidance of my heart teacher/Guru Dharma Bodhi of Trika Mahasiddha Yoga. One thousand pranams to you all!
