What to expect in my classes
In my physical classes, we move in unison, with our breath and a curated selection of music and silence.
We start with simple movements which we layer into more complex arrangements, making the challenging accessible.
For meditation, I hold an inviting, protective space to allow for greater introspection and spiritual awakening.
My training
I've been teaching yoga since 2018 and practising since 2013. I hold Yoga Alliance's highest level of certification: E-RYT 500; this means I've also taught over 2,000 hours worth of classes.
As a teacher and practitioner, I see the study of yoga as a lifelong journey.
I have special interest in the accurate understanding of yoga scripture and its historical context, as well as in experiencing the practice at a somatic level.
I completed my 500 hour training with Jason Crandell, in vinyāsa flow yoga.
Jason has 20+ years of experience teaching yoga and his approach is contemporary and down-to-earth, informed by the latest developments in sports medicine and the human body, with specific emphasis on asana, sequencing, and injury managment.
I did my original 200 hour training with Ambra Vallo, in haṭha-raja yoga.
Ambra has trained with renowned teachers Dharma Mittra, Ana Forrest, and Larry Shultz (among others), which gave me a broad and comprehensive understanding of yoga, with specific emphasis on praṇayama, kriya, and mantra, as well as asana.
I have additionally trained with Norman Blair in yin yoga, who has 20+ years of experience and has trained with Sarah Powers & Paul Grilley and Bernie Clark.
I have completed courses on the Yoga Sūtras with Edwin Bryant; on state-of-the-art research on the history of yoga with lectures from Mark Singleton and James Mallinson (and others) with Yogacampus; and on sanskrit and mantra yoga with Elena Jessup. This is not a comprehensive list.
