Yoga
My work is strongly influenced by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli and the exquisite work of Erich Shiffmann, T.K.V. Desikachar, Elizabeth Pauntz, Monica Voss, Diane Long, Sandra Sabatini, John Stirk and the late Pat Sparrow.

My interpretation of Vanda's inspiring work is that she was influenced by the rhythm and movement of nature. The song of the body. The asanas or postures become a pathway to express our own inner beauty and grace. We use the physical postures to unwind the body of tension and the breath becomes the tool to release the spine and align our bodies with gravity.

I believe that we can practice all aspects of yoga to nurture our relationship with our own anatomy and physiology whilst inviting the gifts of conscious breathing and integration of movement with the ground into our everyday lives.
