 Focusing on You

A WARM WELCOME

Having trained with some of the most amazing instructors in the world,

Full of heart

We live in a fast paced and stressful world but it can be met with grace, when we learn the tools of yoga, we learn to embrace life to the full. I’d love to invite you to one of my classes. I hope to bring you to a place of inner peace and comfort, focusing on how you feel, not the shapes you make, bringing you home to you. My classes range from gentle and restorative to dynamic and active.

Life is a lesson

MIMI KUO DEEMER

This extraordinary woman and teacher is Mimi Kuo Deemer, she trained me to weave Qigong practices into my yoga flows. I have grown to love the ancient practice of Qigong and the way it connects and heals. We all inspire, influence and teach each other as we go through life and pass on wisdom along the way.
