MY STORY
We all have a passion. This is mine! I was late to yoga. Like most people I arrived at yoga to manage pain and inflexibility. Unfortunately, I had a less than ideal interaction with a teacher who essentially told me that "some people shouldn't practice yoga", referencing my atypical yoga body! I chose in that moment, well a few moments later after floods of tears, that I was going to become a teacher and provide a safe space for anyone to come and practice, a space dedicated to allowing your practice to develop naturally and in line with how you show up each class and how you feel!

MY PURPOSE
My work with yoga is my heart's purpose, my driving force. It's the reason I get up every day and do what I do. The 2nd reason is my Dad! After 5 yrs caring for him through dementia at home, doing his palliative care and holding his hand as he passed, I had very little left to give. He taught me to always, always, be kind and compassionate, to love where there was no love, to sow seeds on hearts that were barren and to water the souls of the people who crossed my path without judgement. His teachings, his love and guidance, brought me back to life to accept the privilege of facilitating yoga practices for ALL people! I will forever be grateful for having such an amazing role model and it is in his honour the studio is named - he was an ornithologist and discovered the yellow breasted canary in South Africa.
