I'm a Yoga teacher, Meditation teacher, Reiki Master, Sound Therapist, Holistic therapist and Tutor. I'm a DIY Herbalist, passionate about nature, travel and a lover of life.
I set up holisticlife to help people to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
I believe that Every day is a learning day, whether you’re on the yoga mat, the water or on the mountain.
I will forever be an eternal student and that you can learn something from everyone you meet.
I teach Yin, Restorative, Hatha, Vinyasa, Nada Yoga and Meditation.
I teach because I want to share my experience with others and to watch others learn a skill, grow in their their potential is very rewarding.
Especially when they find something that they didn’t even really know existed and they excel at it - with a natural proficiency that’s astounding. Or to see people push through the boundaries that may have unknowingly set themselves and the realisation of their potential that comes with that.
I find that my outdoor adventure sports background has influenced where I teach yoga from - understanding physical limitations from a lack of flexibility, understanding injury and maintaining your physical health. The yoga world has also influenced how I am in the outdoors both for myself and from a teaching point of view. I believe these two worlds complement each other.
I think that there’s a perception out there, that you have to be super skinny, flexible, fit, great balance…etc,etc to do yoga.
No! - Being the opposite of all that- is why you should practice!
It’s called a practice for a reason - it’s not about the end result. It’s just you and your mat with no strings attached or expectations.
The skills you learn with yoga and meditation work their way into the every day of your life.
My practice it has fundamentally changed how I view life, how I live life and its for the better. Yoga is no longer something that I do - it’s a part of me and part of my lifestyle, yoga is not about the asanas (postures) on the mat - that really is only one small part of it. Yoga is a whole way of living.
