I live in Te Anau, Murihiku Southland and have been teaching Yoga for 18 years. I offer accessible small-group movement classes and private instruction in Yoga and Yoga Therapy. My services are available in person, in Te Anau, and online.
My therapeutic work and Yoga teaching offers clients tools that support greater self-awareness, contentment and quality of life, regardless of circumstance. My teaching philosophy is based on the principles of compassion (towards ourselves and others), agency, accessibility, and knowledge.
Most of my private teaching and Yoga Therapy is done in people’s homes. Doing this work among the routine and messiness of our daily lives is what helps each of us establish a consistent and beneficial personal practice.
I am a certified Yoga Therapist (International Association of Yoga Therapists & Yoga NZ), Senior (Level 4) Yoga Teacher with Yoga NZ, and Yoga educator with Svastha Yoga Aotearoa. I have a background in science, including a PhD in behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology, and work as a knowledge broker, writer and facilitator. This work often takes the form of supporting the restoration and sustainable use of wild and natural places as well as fostering a greater connection between people and the world that we inhabit.
Through experiencing the overwhelming joys and demands of parenthood, running our own business and volunteering in our community, I have gained an immense appreciation of the value of daily Yoga practice on and off the mat: often short and sweet, and ‘interrupted’. I am learning how to take my practice with me and to let go of expectations (most of the time!).
Ready. Set. Grow.
