I’m here to empower you to take your yoga off the mat and into the world, so yoga works for you in the moments you most need it to.

You know that deep thirst for meaning you have? Your practice can quench it.
Let me show you how!

The Good Life
YOGIC ETHICS TO HELP YOU ‘HUMAN’ WELL
We all have a version of ourselves, that lives in our mind, that is kind, boundaried, compassionate, self-aware and magnetic. We know this version of us exists (even if only in potential form) and we’d like to bring it forward more of the time. But how? Our conditioning has a sneaky way of getting the better of us, doesn’t it?!
The yamas and niyamas (of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras) will undoubtedly bring the you you know you can be to the fore. Through a series of five ethical commitments and five personal observances, the yamas and niyamas will sweep your heart and mind clean of the debris that dims the light inside of you.
Join me for this mini-course exploring them with 10-days of life-affirming, thought-provoking study prompts to unearth the ‘you’ that is already there, trying mightily to shine through.
YOGA & THE MIND
Answer Your Big Life Questions
How does yoga map the mind? What does it say about your thoughts and feelings? Can it help you rewire them?
Have you ever wanted to learn more about yogic psychology?
Join me for this 30hr training that answers these questions in-depth. Leave with a better understanding of how your mind works, fresh ways of relating to your thoughts and feelings, and a range of meditation (and other) techniques for building new thought patterns, that you can keep using after the course is over.

Subtle & Skillful Sequencing
Many paths, one destination
Have you ever noticed that some yoga classes make you feel really good, and other ones don’t? Have you ever wondered why?
The different techniques in the yoga tradition each do different things. The reason you feel good after some classes and not others is that some techniques are a match for your needs, and some aren’t.
If you understand what the different techniques do, as a teacher, you can tailor any class to the needs of the individual. And, as a practitioner, you can adjust your day-to-day practice to ensure it accommodates your fluctuating energy levels, stress levels, cycle needs, and time commitment.
Mapping the subtle body in yoga
A one hour masterclass to demystify the structures of the subtle body and explore practices for impacting them.
It’s all well and good to hear a teacher talk about ‘chakras’ or ‘koshas’ in class, but they rarely do it in-depth. So, our understanding of the subtle body feels fuzzy at best. We need a reframe!
Think about the physical body. It’s full of stuff. Muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, the nervous, circulatory and cardiovascular systems.
Each of these structures is unique on the one hand, and complementary on the other. Have you noticed that the mind holds all of this complexity with relative ease?
In the same way that the different structures of the physical body fit together to make a unified whole, the structures of the subtle body do the same.
If you want to learn how, you’ll find the answers in this masterclass!
Together we will;
- Explored the different structures of yoga’s subtle body
- Clarified what each structure does, and how they interact with each other
- Explored a range of techniques for accessing them
