Yoga has been a constant companion for almost two decades, accompanying me through different seasons of adulthood – through change, challenges and growth. What began as a physical activity has gradually become something much deeper: a way of understanding myself, finding balance and meeting life with greater awareness and acceptance.

I started practising Ashtanga at 8 Limbs Yoga shortly after moving to Perth around 20 years ago. About five years ago, I discovered YogaHub and began my Mysore journey, which deepened my connection with Ashtanga. 

Over time, Ashtanga has brought stability to my body, helped release stagnant emotions and energy, and taught me to listen to and respect my changing body, particularly as I grow older. It reminds me that yoga isn’t about perfecting poses, but about showing up and embracing where we are.

Teaching has been part of my life since I was 15, when I began giving piano lessons. After graduating, I went on to teach English and Chinese as a Second Language. I have always enjoyed connecting with people and supporting them in their learning.

My yoga qualifications include 350 hours of Hatha Vinyasa Teacher Training with Yogaspace, 50 hours of Yin Yoga Teacher Training and 100 hours of mentoring with Sarcha Thurston.

I’m excited to share my love of yoga with others. I’m still discovering something new every time I step onto my mat, and hope to bring that same curiosity, openness and sense of fun into my classes.

Some days we’ll feel strong, some days we’ll wobble, and some days simply showing up is enough! There’s no need to be perfect or take ourselves too seriously. Let’s breathe, move, explore and enjoy being on the mat together.
