WHO AM I

A little about my journey…

I’ve been practising yoga for over 20 years, inspired largely by my dad, who has been practising for nearly 45+ years. I started with Vinyasa and Hatha, but over the years became increasingly curious about what else yoga had to offer.

Then came Yin…

I discovered Yin in 2019 through my teacher Mysan Sidbo, whose teaching gave me a strong foundation in Yin and the principles of Paul Grilley’s functional approach. And I was hooked.

I’ve also been fortunate to train with Dr Sofie Ringsten, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, who introduced me to tools such as acupressure and Gua Sha — things that still find their way into my classes today.

My foundations include 300 hours of Yin Yoga teacher training, including comprehensive anatomy study, followed by 200 hours of Hatha training with Power Living. I’ve continued to deepen my Yin studies with Jo Phee, alongside ongoing myofascial release training with Gabrielle Harris and a six-month mentorship with two senior yoga teachers.

My curiosity has also taken me beyond traditional yoga training into studies with Tahnee Taylor, exploring Quantum Biology, Taoist Energetics and Shamanic Women’s Craft, along with Kids Yoga and so much more.

I genuinely love learning about the body, fascia, movement, meditation, ancient wisdom and the practice of Yin — then bringing what resonates back into the Yin room in a way that feels practical, accessible and relevant to everyday life.

Nearly 1,000 hours in… and I’m definitely not finished yet. 😊

Personal info: I am a 50-year-old mother of four children, which includes two daughters and two stepsons. Balancing the dynamics of our blended family keeps life interesting and fulfilling.

My "why," is to share my learnings and insights with others.

I often forget just how much I have learned along the way and how far I have come in my journey. Reflecting on my experiences reminds me of the growth I have achieved and the knowledge I have gained.

Knowing this is a source of courage, it helps me navigate through my own discomfort, allowing me to transform challenges into opportunities for growth. In doing so, I aspire to become an inspiration for others, encouraging everyone to keep growing and keep learning and trusting in your own journey.

Why

I wish to gently guide you back to yourself. My intention is to help everyday individuals cultivate a profound and meaningful relationship with themselves. By fostering a better understanding of your own body and the inner workings of your mind and spirit, you can come to realize that movement is a form of medicine!…. And that it is never too late to start your journey onto a path honoring yourself, whatever this looks like.

What we sow, we ultimately reap.

Together we create supportive communities, filled with like-minded individuals, allowing us to lift each other up, inspire one another, grow collectively, and learn from our diverse experiences in meaningful ways.

What I have to share is not mine to keep; rather, it is a collection of insights and experiences that I feel compelled to pass on. I am a vessel through which knowledge flows continuously and abundantly.

I am always taking part in trainings and continuously learning, gathering new information and sharing it with others.

This commitment to education and exchange is precisely why I have chosen to keep my prices low. I believe that this knowledge should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, financial situation, or any other factors that might otherwise limit their ability to participate.

The MISSION is to make this available for everyone.
