Teacher Details

I have practiced yoga for more than 7 years and progressive muscle relaxation for over 10 years. I received my qualification as a 200hr certified yoga teacher under the guidance of Paul Dallaghan (certified by Sri K. Patthabi Jois) at the Centered Yoga Institute. I have since trained and will keep training with Max Strom who is a great source of inspiration to me.
My own practice consists of 1-2-1 Iyengar classes with Senior Iyengar teacher Tessa Bull as well as Ashtanga Mysore classes, classes at the Life Centre and Triyoga in London in various styles (from Anusara to Yin Yoga) as well as a regular breathing, asana, chanting and mediation practice at home.
My inquiring mind insures that I keep learning and studying (anything related to my practice and to my teaching - sometimes thinking outside the box helps!).
My style of teaching can best be described as 'strong but gentle'. I enjoy to merge the knowledge of alignment and asana alternatives taught in the Iyengar method with the meditative flow and the power of the Ashtanga Primary Series and other selected flow sequences. I strongly believe in teaching from the heart and from experience and I aim at empowering students to develop awareness in order to understand their personal strengths and challenges and eventually grow in confidence to build their own individual yoga practice. My classes consist of a posture practice followed by relaxation to prepare for a final (usually breath- or heart-centered) meditation.
I see and live yoga as a challenging but wonderful way to self-discovery and personal growth, as well as physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
