A little bit about me
I discovered yoga in 2009 while studying at university, and it completely changed my life.
I have been teaching for nearly ten years and have explored a wide range of styles, lineages, and teachers, all of which have broadened my understanding and awareness of yoga. I’ve had the privilege of learning from truly inspiring teachers who are doing remarkable work within the community.
Outside of teaching, you can find me at Lauriston Agroecology Farm, where my role as Community Navigator involves facilitating community gardening sessions through green social prescribing pathways, offering land-based wellbeing activities, and, alongside an incredible co-operative team, helping to develop a resilient, just and community-led local food system.
I am deeply connected to the land and committed to living in a way that is attuned to the seasons, cycles, and rhythms of nature. This connection informs all the work I do, shaping a practice rooted in reciprocity, and embodied presence.
