WHAT TO EXPECT.
My classes are fun and dynamic and emphasise meeting each student where they are at each day. Students can progress at their own pace based on their range of motion and strength in an environment that respects individual differences and acknowledges that there is no such thing as a “normal” body. I provide regular alignment instructions in addition to carefully considered adjustments to help create space and freedom in the body. With a deep emphasis on the breath, I aim to create a moving meditation connecting breath with movement, allowing the student to turn their focus inward and cultivate a greater awareness of body and mind.Expect to move, breathe, challenge yourself and have fun.
"THE GREATEST DUTY OF A TEACHER
IS TO ENCOURAGE, TO INSPIRE,
AND TO FACILITATE PRACTICE FOR THE STUDENT,
BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE GURU [TEACHER] IS THE PRACTICE ITSELF"
- David Swenson
ABOUT ME.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do - Rumi
I am a qualified hatha, vinyasa and ashtanga yoga teacher based in Gibraltar. I have passion for movement and wellness and having practiced yoga for the past eight years, I have learnt the beauty of connecting movement with breath, along with so much more. I am a firm believer in the many health benefits of yoga, including its ability to increase strength, flexibility and tone of the body, improve alignment and posture, provide effective pain relief, and promote a general sense of wellbeing. My background is in Ashtanga yoga and I have a keen interest in the study of anatomy and alignment, which is reflected in my personal teaching style. I enjoy motivating others to improve wellness and commit to long-term and sustainable fitness and health goals through yoga.
ASHTANGA YOGA.
My classes are all based on the Ashtanga system of yoga as prescribed by Sri Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic and physically challenging style of yoga whereby each movement is synchronised with the breath, and a set of postures are linked in a constant flow. This makes it a moving meditation which quietens the mind and energises the body. The consistency of this practice allows you to quickly improve stamina, strength, flexibility and balance.
