Neighbourhood Yoga

and neuroscience research, in each practice I teach there is movement, breathing, meditation and relaxation. You can find the Neighbourhood Yoga class descriptions on my website neighbourhoodyoga.com.auI began practising yoga during full time dance training 20 years ago. Although I maintained a casual practice to aid my body and mind during the rigours of training and performing, it wasn't until years later that the subtler intricacies of yoga began to resonate and my curiosity deepened. ‘Yoga yoga’ is what I do everyday. I try to do this on and off the mat - with varying degrees of success but most importantly, without judgement and with a whole lot of love. I was welcomed to this practice by my teacher, Judith Grieve, whom I still practice with as a student in Mackay. I spent a year of intensive study with Kate Pell and Dan Alder in Brisbane where we not only readied ourselves to teach across modern and traditional philosophies of yoga, but nurtured our place as eternal students. Kate and Dan also encouraged me to understand that I am already enough. This is a lesson I aim to share with every student that I meet.I have assisted the team from Core Yoga to lead classes of over 300 students through early morning yoga at Woodford Folk Festival since 2014. I have also facilitated yoga on retreats with Core Yoga in Bali, Indonesia and The Broad Place in Byron Bay, NSW.In addition to 500 hour Yoga Australia certification, I have studied short courses in Pranayama and Energetic Anatomy with Simon Borg-Olivier; Yoga Sutras with Leanne Davis and Saraswati Vasudevan; Ayurvedic philosophy with Kimana Nichols; Restorative Yoga with Lizzie Lasater and therapeutics with Iyengar certified teacher Jamie Denham; along with a variety of other ongoing CPD. I also teach yoga in workplaces and schools as part of their wellbeing programs.And so, I welcome you to join me on a journey to learn a simple and rewarding practice, so that you too can 'yoga yoga' for life.
