HATHA & YIN YOGA TEACHER

A long-time local of Cabarita Beach for over 30 years, I feel incredibly grateful to call this beautiful coastal community home. There is something truly magnetic about this part of the world. The ocean, the natural beauty and the slower rhythm of coastal life have always made it very hard for me to leave.

My own yoga journey began over a decade ago, initially drawn to the deeper practice and the way yoga offered a pathway beyond the physical body. In 2024, I felt called to take that passion further and pursue teaching. I completed my 200-hour teacher training with Santosha Yoga Institute on Nusa Lembongan, Indonesia, which only deepened my love and appreciation for this beautiful practice.

In 2026, I travelled to Rishikesh, India, often considered the birthplace of yoga, to complete my 300-hour advanced teacher training with Living Yoga School. Immersing myself in the traditions and teachings of yoga in such a sacred place was a profound and inspiring experience.

For me, yoga is a way of stepping away from the busyness of everyday life, turning inward and reconnecting with a sense of peace, presence and stillness.

My Hatha and Yin classes are thoughtfully designed to be adaptable and welcoming to all levels, creating space to feel both gently activated and deeply meditative.

I look forward to sharing this practice with you on the mat.

Namaste.

Yoga Classes - Hatha & Yin

Each class is 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Come prepared with your mat and water bottle and leave your shoes and the world at the door. We’ll explore asana (through correct alignment & use of props), pranayama (breath control), meditation & yoga philosophy (ancient wisdom & ethics) to directly connect us to the self & to the elements & strengths of the universe.

Hatha yoga:
A dynamic session with a focus on asanas (poses) to move, stretch & build strength, pranayama (breath control) to expand breath capacity & create flow within the body, meditation for mental clarity & relaxation to calm the nervous system.
My approach is an addictive combination of tradition with a sense of joy & lightness!

Yin yoga:
A slow paced nourishing & relaxing session (on the floor) to reset the nervous system.
Yin yoga is based on the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) & it’s meridian system. We practice with the seasons & their correlating yin/yang organs. Most poses are held for 2-4mins to allow the whole body- particularly the fascia- to soften & release it’s tension.
You may arrive feeling wound up but you will leave feeling calm & relaxed.

Yin-Yang Yoga:

A Yin–Yang yoga class blends two complementary energies into one beautifully balanced practice. It’s the kind of class that leaves people feeling both spacious and steady, softened yet awake. A Yin–Yang class weaves together the slow, meditative stillness of Yin with the warm, flowing movement of Yang, creating a practice that nourishes both body and mind.
