After over 10 years of yoga practice with teachers from various schools, I trained as a zen yoga teacher in 2009. Since then I've been studying with Jonathan Monks (www.YogaMonks.com) and continuing my Zen Buddhist practice with Daizan Roshi (www.zenways.org). These two teachers and practices are my main influences in my yoga teaching. My Zen Yoga style has its foundation in Zen Buddhist philosophy, and emphasises mindfulness, breath and connection. In my classes, I works towards exploring what yoga really means to me: the union of seemingly opposite forces/concepts to find what lies beneath and beyond.
My classes consist of a combination of mindful posture and flow routines designed to bring increased connection to the ground, awaken and flex the spine, and bring about increased resilience, softness, and awareness. These practices lead to a natural quiet and stillness of the mind, and a gentle letting go throughout our entire being.
I also teach course and workshops in mindfulness, covering techniques and practices drawn from the zen tradition. Mindfulness is a strong theme in zen practice, and can dramatically benefit your general health, wellbeing and vitality, improve concentration, help manage stress/pain/depression, and ultimately lead to a deep understanding of the self and the true nature of the universe.
