I am originally from London, England this is where I was first introduced to Bikram Yoga in 2005. It was after my first class that I absolutely loved it and knew that one day I would like to teach it. My whole life I have been physical be it for work or play. The human body and the mind have always fascinated and interested me, and since being introduced to Bikram Yoga I have been able to practice the power of the two in unison.

Growing up I competed in Gymnastics, after studying a Sports Science degree at University I trained in Circus and performed in several shows as an aerialist, before following my dream to be a ‘stuntwomen’. I have been putting my body through it’s paces in this industry for the last 9 years. Introducing Bikrams practice to my life my body started to realign itself and work through many an old injury. I love that you are the master of your own practice. The discipline of the class has taught me to be the master of my thoughts and my breath and I love how this carries through in my everyday life.

After many grateful years of living and working overseas and being exposed to some truly amazing experiences, cultures and opportunities I attended the teacher training in Acapulco, Mexico Fall 2008, (possibly THE hardest thing I have ever done) and since graduating have taught classes in L.A, London and Australia. I am now settled on The Gold Coast with my Fiance, Mark.

Being able to give back all I have gained from Bikram yoga through teaching is the most humbling job I have had it is very fulfilling and gives me my “happy smiling face!!!!” I truly appreciate being apart of this healing community.
