My very first yoga class in 1997 changed my life forever. The deep sense of peace and contentment I experienced was completely new to me - and I wanted more! I started practising daily and studying yoga whenever I could. Seeing how yoga was creating a positive transformation in my life, people began asking me to teach. And so, in 2000, I began teaching. My teaching was fueled by my love and enthusiasm for yoga, but I soon realized I didn't have sufficient training and knowledge. So I began searching for ways to further my studies. This search brought me to many wonderful teachers and systems of yoga. But it wasn't until I encountered my first Anusara® yoga classes that I knew I had found what I was looking for. 

Anusara's precise and ingenious alignment principles (Universal Principles of Alignment) have expanded the physical practice of asana into a healing, highly therapeutic practice for body and soul. Through the principles I am now pain and injury free - the asanas (physical postures) feel amazingly good and I have gained a new level of physical and emotional well-being.

Anusara has also brought into my life the gift of community. The support of community is an inspiration, as is the opportunity to give support and make a contribution. It is through loving connection with others that we grow as individuals and experience who we truly are. 

How magical that the practice of physical postures, combined with awareness of the breath, can have such a profound effect on us! Being able to share yoga with so many people around the world is a blessing and an honour.

Yoga continues to expand my inner and outer world, bringing me strength and joy. My deepest thanks to all my students, teachers and friends.
