I am a Senior level teacher and yoga therapist.  Yoga is my passion as it is all about rewiring our neural pathways and changing negative to positive and growing/ learning to live to our full potential.  I am also an Ayurveda Lifestyle consultant, hypnobirthing consultant and soon to be remedial massage therapist.  I have been practicing yoga for 30 years and teaching for over 10 years. I have 2 Yoga Teacher Diplomas, Hatha yoga and Satyananda yoga (which is a traditional, classical, therapeutic and meditative style) plus I am a qualified Yoga Therapist.  My training journey began in 2003 when I moved to Australia, pregnant with my first child. I opened up Yoga in Hornsby in 2010 after completing a diploma in Hatha yoga.  

Mostly, my classes are small and taught in a private studio.  I have fully, up-to-date insurance, first aid/CPR, Yoga Australia membership and SYTA membership.  I am a qualified Yoga Therapist (recognised by AAYT & a member of AAYT).  I attend regular professional development courses, workshops, conferences to update and develop my skills. 

This Government accredited Satyananda Teaching qualification is a Nationally recognised course.  I am affiliated with SYTA and Yoga Australia (SYTA3813).   Due to the high number of training hours (1440hrs) it is recognised by Yoga Australia as being a course over 500hrs.  Rebates with Medicare are currently no longer available for yoga if you are on a healthcare plan but we are hoping this will change soon particularly for therapeutic yoga.
