Yoga

BACKGROUND AND TRAINING

I started practicing yoga 21 years ago, while in the last phase of my life as a professional dancer. Needing both a physical remedy and an emotional support. I’ve come to attribute my well-being to this practice. I started with Ashtanga, with Hamish Hendry and then furthered my learning within this form with Lara Baumann and her Quantum Yoga system and with Nigel Gilderson.

This influence established a security in the physical practice, the undoing of dancers’ habits and realigning of the whole body for optimum vitality. My studies in the Iyengar form came with Claire Porter, with whom I studied for several years. Claire was influenced by the work of Scaravelli, who focused on the spine. This, within the wider context of Iyengar’s system, encouragedthe focus and desire for precision in physical alignment. I now work with connecting this precision with the potential of the correspondent emotional release.

For my Teacher Training, I was accepted onto the Raja Flow course with teacher Antonello di Curzio. Between 2014-2015, I completed the 200-hour training, as specified under Yoga Alliance Guidelines.
