Over the years she has developed her own style that combines the essence and heart of traditional yoga teachings with the modern world of functional & therapeutic movement, functional breathing and relaxation. Her classes aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where students can discover what works for them by staying true and connected to their individual needs. She encourages self exploration and likes to expose students to new and fun ways to challenge what they think yoga ‘should be’.
In addition, her functional breathwork training (with BUTEYKO and The Oxygen Advantage Certification) plays an important role in educating and helping people navigate stress, improved sleep and relaxation as well as improve general health through better breathing.
