Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the most energetic style of yoga. It is a fast flowing set of asanas/postures that are linked together by the breath. Classes will focus on The Primary series, which are a series of postures in a logical sequence, designed to open and strengthen the body. Each posture is an introduction to the next and when joined together with the breath creates a rhythmic experience that can allow the body to enter into a moving meditation.
Ashtanga can be a demanding class due the sequencing of postures. However, classes are suitable for beginners as well as the more advanced student as we will gradually work through the primary series of postures, working at each students own level. However due to the faster pace of this class, a general level of fitness is required.

I first discovered yoga in 2000 when a friend asked me to come along to her first yoga class. I was instantly hooked and was amazed how I left the class on such a high. The positive effects of that first class stayed with me for days. I continued to practise through my pregnancy and yoga became an integral part of my life. In 2007 a valued teacher 'planted the seed' and suggested I do a teacher training. Eventually that seed became a reality and I gave up my full time job in Insurance to devote my time to my yoga journey. I completed a Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training with Paul Dallaghan of Centered Yoga. Paul is directly certified by Sri K Pattabhi Jois.
My teaching style places a strong emphasis on alignment, sequencing, breath and inner awareness. I have a dedicated daily practise and enjoy the dynamic challenge of Ashtanga Yoga, as well as the positive energy I get from sharing all kinds of yoga with others.
