  • Why Yoga?
    I love the ‘play’ of the physical practise. Yoga has symbolised freedom for me. A way to release all of the external noise for a quieter journey inward. A way of living in harmony with all beings and connecting to the elements surrounding us. The magic of yoga truly sets alight the mind, body and soul.
