I first discovered yoga some 15 years ago when a trainer at my local gym suggested I might like it. It was love at first asana, I just knew I had finally come home. Even though I didn't know at the time I would become a teacher, the seed had been planted. It would be 10 years later when I realised it was time to start easing myself out of the corporate world. In 2008 I completed my Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching, followed with Masters of Yoga Teaching in 2009 at the Australian Yoga Academy. Earlier this year I also completed Level 1 Teacher Training with world renowned yoga teacher Baron Baptiste. In April 2009 I started my journey as the owner of La Vida Yoga. The best way I can describe what yoga has done for me is the feeling I have in Savasana at the end of my practice. When my body has opened up and all physical and mental resistance has fallen away...my whole body smiles! I can feel my whole body filling with pure joy. This is why I love yoga. This is why I teach yoga. I am passionate about sharing my love of yoga and showing people the possibilities available to them through a regular yoga practice, that they too can access the JOY and LOVE readily available – within themselves.
