TRAINING:
​
Formally Trained at the Himalayan Yoga Academy Rishikesh, India under the teachings of Kiranj Moraryie and Ashish Sharma, A school of Hatha Yoga. Influences come from a range of forms - ashtanga, vinyasa, yin and an intensive period of kundalini yoga in Rotterdam, NL, at Cherdi Kala. Key teachers since, for whose passion and knowledge I am hugely thankful, are - Michael Stone, Mark Stephens, Leslie Kaminoff, Stephen Thomas, Helga Baumgartner and Richard Freeman,.
​
Experiences over many years in contemporary dance, Alexander techqniue, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Psychocalisthenics, Kinetic Awareness and Sounding - aswell as a long engagement with western psychology and philosophies of world religions - have deeply influenced my practice and teaching. Central to my studies at Cambridge were modules in Buddhist and Hindu Philosophies and I maintain a strong belief in breaking down boundaries of misunderstanding through learning, to nurture open minds.
