I don’t think anyone just wakes up one day and thinks to themselves ‘I want to be a yoga teacher!’ I mean I’m sure someone has, but it’s generally not how it goes.

I had been looking for some practical tools I could implement for myself. My health and my body became greatly affected. I knew if nothing changed, things would become worse. I began searching for something that really feeds my soul. I found myself in a Beginners yoga class at a local yoga studio because I had heard that “yoga is good for you”. Little did I know that one class was the beginning of a life-long process of understanding the physical body and, more importantly, challenging the monkey mind. And since then, I've never looked back. I felt the shift and changes in my body and mind.

I completed my 350hrs yoga teacher training and further 14hrs training in Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra with Wisdom Yoga Institute Australia. I couldn’t believe how much I loved it and loved what it was doing for not only my jacked up body but also my mind. It has, without a doubt, completely changed my whole way of living, and I can’t go a day without it. I continued to train to become Ashtanga Yoga's teacher, and this became my personal practice, and I absolutely love it.

I love the challenge from every practice on both a physical and a mental level, learning when to push and when to rest, learning that every day is different and having the self acceptance and awareness that comes with that. Seeing the difference and the change yoga gave me is what led me wanting to share it with anyone who is looking for the same and perhaps more.
