TEACHING STYLE

I invite you into mindful movement and playful exploration of your own body by creating a bridge between body, breath, mind and spirit. My classes are an opportunity to slow down, tune in, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself - with space to explore, soften and simply be.

QUALIFICATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

E-RYT 500+ Yoga Teacher (Vinyasa, Yin Yoga & Yoga Therapy), Sound Practitioner, and currently training in Somatic Experiencing and Mat Pilates

WHAT TO EXPECT IN MY CLASS

Expect mindfulness, breath awareness, and plenty of invitations to turn your attention inward. I love weaving elements of yoga philosophy into my classes to inspire introspection and self-discovery while encouraging you to make your practice your own and honour what your body needs.

HOW I GOT INTO FITNESS

I grew up dancing, so movement has always been a form of expression and a way of connecting with myself. Yoga entered my life as a different kind of movement - one that taught me to listen rather than push, and helped me cultivate a deeper, more peaceful relationship with my body and with myself.

FAVOURITE WAY TO SWEAT

Yoga asana, Pilates, and dancing!

FUN FACT

I’m originally from Switzerland - so naturally, I have a soft spot for mountains, chocolate, and cheese.

WHAT YOU'LL SWEAT TO

I love creating playlists that compliment the intention of each practice - whether we’re moving towards rest and reflection, or energy and power. Depending on the vibe, expect an eclectic mix of indie, organic electronic, house, modern classical music, world music, oldies, soft rock, and everything in between.
