I live, work and practice on the edge of the Yarra Valley in Victoria. From symmetry & balance, my studio in Wonga Park, I teach slow, breath-centred Hatha Yoga to increase resilience. I prefer my classes to be slow and gentle as I have a passion for Restorative Yoga and self-nurturing.

During classes my focus is on making sure that everyone feels comfortable in their own skin. I feel that it’s more important for participants to listen to their own body and do what feels good and right for them. Working with the breath is emphasised and the movement of the body is contained within the movement of the breath. Classes are restful and nurturing; rejuvenating the body, replenishing energy, calming the mind and building resilience. Beginning with a meditation to quieten and calm the mind and bring peace from the busy-ness of day-to-day life, the practice moves into gentle postures combined with breath-work to create inner peace and harmony.

My path to Yoga began way back in the late 1960’s watching Swami on TV during the school holidays and this lead to my lifelong love of yoga. From those early roots, yoga has always been a part of my life, with my practice expanding and contracting as me need has ebbed and flowed.

My interests don’t end with Yoga. I am also a Kinesiologist and Reiki practitioner, practicing in Wonga Park and a Marriage and Civil Celebrant. I am always finding inspiration and joy from the wonderful people that I have the privilege to work with.

Away from work, I have many other interests. I’m a writer, an artist, who loves to draw and make needle-felt dolls, and I’m also  an AFOL – Adult Fan of Lego. I have two adult sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law, a grandson and two gorgeous dogs, who keep me sane.
