The magic is in the detail ✨

For me the magic is always in the small moments.

From the walk to the shala, to the quiet introspective moments after practice. A slow mindful breakfast, to the first sip of black coffee.

That’s why I love Yoga, it’s a practice of detail. The subtle change in breath, a small shift in your mind that changes your entire energy. A micro adjustment that transforms a sensation and feeling of an āsana.

I recently did a photoshoot with the very talented Rohiet Gawanday and conveyed the importance for the subtle details to build a mind body connection and he nailed it! Very excited to share more photos 🧡

अष्टाङ्ग साधना 🌺🧡

One month practicing at Ashtanga Saadhana with Vijay Kumar and all the amazing assistants.

This is my third trip to Mysuru and this time really felt like I was returning to a home away from home.

I am so grateful for all the moments of magic, the knowledge and wisdom from my teacher and the energy of the shala every morning.

As a full time Yoga teacher prioritising my own practice is so important to me, and I am reminded that I can only share from a place of presence, joy, reflection and continued dedication.

As always it’s not goodbye it’s see you next time. 🧡🧡🧡

Simplicity. 🧡

Yes I can teach you how to begin a self practice, how to do a handstand (because they are very fun🤘), how to deepen your backbends, drills to get strong, tools to calm your nervous system, what sacred texts to study…but beginning a Yoga practice can offer you so much more and often it is not about adding more.

Without intention you won’t stick to it. Without strong foundations your practice cannot grow.

Interested to deepen your practice?

I have the space to take on new 1:1 students from October.

Message me or email [email protected] 🧡

I have had a lot of students, family and friends interested in what I am doing in India and what I practice.

It’s a little different to a ‘regular’ Yoga class experience and people often don’t understand it, so I thought I would make a comprehensive post explaining the Ashtanga practice.

Here is a brief (because I could talk about it all day😂) exploration of:
-what it is
-where it came from
-the different teaching methods (mysore vs led)
-benefits of both

If you are keen to start an Ashtanga practice but you are not sure how send me a message. I can help you begin a practice online or in-person in Santa Barbara CA that works for you and your body, building strong foundations and a calmer mind. 🙏

That post-practice feeling ✨

What often brings students back to the mat isn’t getting a new āsana, or nailing a transition, it’s that feeling you get when you come out of śavāsana (the final rest).

During Śavāsana you lie still for a number of minutes (the longer the better), often arms and legs are out long, relaxing the body and letting the mind settle. It is a space to integrate your practice, to let your nervous system settle and to move slowly into the rest of your day.

It can be hard to describe the feeling post-practice but for me there is a lightness, a stillness that follows me into my day. Flowers always seem a little brighter, and that first sip of coffee is magic. ✨

What brings you back to the mat?

Hihi Yoga, a place to create a practice that works for you. ☀️

I teach Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Prāṇāyāma. My offerings focus on creating strong and stable foundations to grow a safe and sustainable practice. I give students the guidance and encouragement to create a mind-body connection, ensuring everyone feels confident and empowered to explore their limits safely and in a fun way.

How to practice with me in the next few months:

☀️ 1:1 online or in-person in Santa Barbara.

This October I have space to take on 1-2 students for a once a week practice over one month. This commitment can be focused on creating an at home self practice, to focus on something particular to you, to start a Yoga practice, etc. Interested? Swipe to see some of my students experiences.
