Be healthy in body and mind

Yoga is more than an exercise.

The philosophies teach us how to live a happier more fulfilling life

The asana or exercises teach us how to keep our bodies healthy

The meditation and relaxation practices teach us how to keep our minds calm and focused.

A Little About Me

I have been practicing yoga for more than 15 years now and it has gradually been changing my life.

 I used to work as a Radiographer here on the Coast. The focus was on illness rather than health and I found my job unfulfilling although well paid.

 When I had my first child I studied Herbal Medicine at home. I enjoyed it so much.

 I began my learning circle.

 I now have qualifications in Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga, Childrens Yoga, Herbal Medicine, Aryurvedic Medicine, Food Therapy, Iridology, Thought Field Therapy, Moonology. I am completing a Pre & Post Natal Yoga Course.

 After receiving my 200 hr Byron Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, I rang Empire Bay Hall and have been running classes on Mondays for 9 years now. I love it!

 I have completed 100 hours Yin Teacher Training with my Health Yoga. I have organised, taught and cooked for 5 yoga retreats at Patonga and also taught at other retreats around the coast. 

I also love to teach workshops, yoga, meditation, herbal medicine, ayurvedic medicine, the chakras and iridology. They are all connected. Good Health and How To Achieve It.

 My Radiography training has helped me in many ways. My anatomy knowledge in different positions has helped me teach many students how to practice well and safely. I realised this at the Teacher Training Course. I am a better Yoga Teacher because of this knowledge.

My classes are a mix of ages, a mix of levels. The positions or asanas can easily be adapted, beginning in the gentle option and then teaching the more intermediate/advanced students how to deepen their practice. It's amazing seeing how everyone is progressing.

Some positions may never be safe for those with injuries. The gentle yoga and relaxation class on Mondays 8.15 - 9.15 am is a class suitable for everyone and often students from the regular classes will come along.

The classes are casual and friendly with time to chat before and after but not during class, when inward focus and concentration is needed.

Yoga has given me strength, flexibility, confidence, fitness, a strong core, inner calmness (although I still need to work on this one!) A fulfilling and rewarding job.

Begin your learning circle. Begin a Yoga Class.

Be happy

Be healthy

Be wise

Never stop learning and enriching your life
