Moving to the rhythms of your body which is intricately connected to the rhythms of nature is the core of my practice and teaching. I have been practicing yoga for more than 20 years and teaching in Rathgar, Dublin since 2009. My practice intensified while studying Ayurveda and Yoga in Jaipur Rajasthan in 2004. Having tried many different styles, I trained in Vinyasa Flow with David Curtis in 2008. It incorporates strong alignment principles which allow the body to function at its optimum and ensure a safe yoga practice and body awareness which is integral to the beginning of the yoga journey.

I completed a second extensive teacher training course with Dave Curtis in 2010. I trained annually with senior Iynegar teachers, the Chanchani’s in Dehradun, India and continued my Ayurvedic studies in Chakrapni Ayurvedic Clinic until the birth of my son. Since then, I have furthered my Ayurvedic studies under the guidance of Dr David Frawley and by attending seminars with Dr Vasant Lad. Over the years I have practiced and studied many styles of Hatha Yoga primarily Vinyasa Flow and Shadow Yoga. My teaching is influenced by these styles. In 2018 I had the privilege of completing a 30 hour training under the guidance of Ramaswami, the last long term living student of Sri T. Krishnamacharya. I am primarily a student of yoga and I teach what I have embodied through my learning.

Yoga is beyond a physical practice, it is a tool to enable us to remember and experience our connection with nature and its rhythms. We are wired for connection and yet in today’s world so many of us feel a disconnect. Not only does yoga bring health and vitality to our lives, it also helps us to find courage and strength to trust our own innate intelligence and live through it. Although my classes are strong and dynamic I have a keen interest in the powers of restorative yoga and yoga nidra. Ayurveda is incorporated into my classes and workshops through the yoga practice.

I set up the Samadhi centre in Rathgar, Dublin in 2005 in order to share the gifts of Ayurveda and then Yoga with as many people as possible. In 2019 I decided to simplify my life and focus on practicing yoga, going to wild places both within and in the natural world.
