I was drawn to teach the Yoga Synergy style because I’m interested in making yoga accessible to everyone – whatever their level of ability. Within one YogaSynergy class, you’ll find one student doing the full version of a posture, while another can only manage an easier variation of the same posture. Yet both students are benefiting from a similarly positive effect on their body, mind and spirit. Simon and Bianca are very special teachers and I never stop learning from them. As my practice develops, it becomes increasingly subtle, nurturing and challenging – this is because I practice synergy!!!

My approach to yoga is to remain in the moment and accept how I feel physically and mentally. That might mean practicing an asana to alleviate a physical ailment, or focusing on postures that will help me deal better with a stressful situation. It’s important to practice without expectations or judgment. I try to honor the way I'm feeling and be open to that state changing. I practice yoga because it makes me feel good and helps me connect to my spirit – it helps me to be the best me I can be!

I became a yoga teacher by chance. I completed teacher training initially because I wanted to deepen my practice. I was offered a class and the journey unfolded from there. I enjoy sharing the joy of yoga with my community, and helping others to cultivate a practice that’s appropriate for their changing needs. I feel really blessed to be a yoga teacher and to be part of such a rich and wise tradition.
