-------------------------------------- I am a RYT Registered Yoga teacher, Sports,Thai massage and Bodywork therapist.
I received my teacher training from Yoga Arts (Australia) in 2005. My yoga journey has taken many forms; From the vigorous practises of vinyasa and ashtanga to acroyoga ..... For the past 5 years, I have found inspiration in the teachings of BKS Iyengar and am a disciple of senior teacher Peter Thomson.
I am certified in Thai Massage by the Thai Massage School of ChiangMai and have studied under Oestheopaths Arnaud L'Hermitte & David Lutt and Itzhak Helman of the Sunshine Network.
I have a keen interest in sports especially endurance sports and have trained in Ironman and sports massage with the renown Dr Myk Hungerford (mother of sports massage).
I am also a sports consultant and organise marathons and sports events.
Yoga helped me recuperate from a traumatic accident and I practise yoga to share its healing benefits with others. I believe in the transformation power of yoga and use Massage and other bodywork techniques to achieve greater depths in my yoga practise.
Yoga is a sharing of love and compassion that can bring about emotional and physical healing.
"...Allow the shaking, don’t do it. Stand silently, feel it coming, and when your body starts a little trembling help it - but don’t do it. Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it - but don’t will it. If you force it, it will become an exercise, a bodily physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there but just on the surface, it will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stone like, rock like within; you will remain a manipulator, the doer, and the body will just be following. The body is not the question - you are the question." - Osho I just attended a beautiful Kundalini Meditation sitting at Singa Satsanga. The practise is divided into 4 stages : Shaking, Free Dance, standing (observing), lying (in shavasana). The dynamic movement really helped release tension, negativity, frustrations and inhibitions so that when we came to stillness we could stop the chitta vritti, bring complete awareness inwards and go into meditation with a ready mind and an open body. The practise was really powerful ..... even though I would have liked to have spent longer in stillness.
Singa Satsanga was started by a beautiful girl called Amber who opens up her home so that like-minded "conscious seekers" can support each other as we journey inwards. Active meditations from the world of Osho are practised every Tues @ 7.15pm. There are also other meditation classes during the week. http://www.singasatsanga.com
