My approach to yoga is mindful and individualized, focusing on helping each student discover a practice that suits their life and supports their physical and mental well-being. I aspire for yoga to become a tool for daily self-regulation and grounding. It's important to me that every student, regardless of their current level or ability, feels welcome and empowered, knowing that the practice meets them exactly where they are today.

I have been teaching yoga in London for the past 8 years, sharing a practice deeply rooted in traditional Ashtanga principles while adapting to meet the needs of each student. My personal yoga journey spans over 15 years, with Ashtanga becoming a profound part of my life after my first class 12 years ago. The synchrony between dynamic movement and breath created a transformative experience that reshaped my perspective on practice. Over time, yoga evolved into a moving meditation—a grounding, intentional way to start each day, allowing me to focus on self-reflection and growth, both on and off the mat.

As a mama of a 3-year-old, I understand the importance of balance and adaptability in a yoga practice. This perspective inspired me to complete pre- and post-natal teacher training, and I’ve since been teaching prenatal yoga to private students. These experiences have enriched my understanding of how yoga can support mothers during all stages of pregnancy and parenthood, giving me the ability to guide women in building a nurturing, sustainable practice.

A significant part of my journey has been my studies with SharathJi, beginning in 2016 and continuing until this year, the year of his passing. I had the immense privilege of learning from SharathJi at the Sharath Yoga Centre (SYC) in Mysore, India, where I received my Level 1 authorization in 2020. Over these years, his teachings and guidance shaped not only my practice but also my approach to life. This year was particularly special, as I was able to bring both my 3-year-old son and my mother to meet him—a memory I will always treasure. I feel incredibly fortunate to have studied with him for so many years and will deeply miss his wisdom, presence, and the community he nurtured.

I also studied closely with Manju Jois for almost a decade. Through multiple teacher trainings focused on the primary series, intermediate series, and yoga therapy, I developed a deep understanding of Ashtanga’s therapeutic power and adaptability. Manju’s teachings instilled in me a profound respect for traditional Ashtanga while emphasizing its ability to nurture the mind and body, regardless of a practitioner’s abilities or physical limitations. His influence is woven into my teaching, where I prioritize each student’s unique journey, fostering individual progress and adaptation.

In addition to my time with SharathJi and Manju, I have had the honor of learning from other world-renowned teachers such as Saraswathi Jois, John Scott, and Nancy Gilgoff. Their collective wisdom has enriched my approach to traditional Ashtanga, enabling me to share a well-rounded and authentic practice with my students.

This year, I completed my RYT 500 certification in the John Scott lineage, which expanded my knowledge of yoga philosophy, pranayama breathwork, meditation, and mindful adjustments.

With a master’s degree in biology, I bring a body-centric perspective to my teaching and practice. This background helps me respect and understand the broad spectrum of ability levels, day-to-day variations, and the impact of factors like injury and health on each student’s experience. My classes are designed for both beginners and intermediate practitioners, emphasizing the traditional Ashtanga practice and focusing on the powerful connection between breath and movement. I encourage each individual to progress at their own pace, recognizing that yoga is deeply personal—each student is the ultimate authority on their body’s capacities and limits.
