Guiding my students through practices that have helped me on my healing journey, I bring the wisdom of lived experience. I have practiced Noble Silence for nearly 10 years, completing my first 10-day consecutive noble silence practice during a Vipassana course in 2022. My teachings encompass yoga, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, journaling, yoga nidra, and conscious movement. My offerings reflect my daily practices, aiming to offer you the same feelings of rest, restoration, reflection, alignment, balance, peace, and joy.
My journey has not been without challenges. Diagnosed with Bipolar disorder at 22 while working 18-hour days in the production industry, I faced full burnout and struggled with addiction. Seeking support through various practices, including yoga, therapy, supplements, and plant medicine, I prioritized my mental health. Understanding that a holistic approach is essential for healing, I embarked on a 10-year journey of recovery. Proudly, I have been free of psychiatric medication for two years, crediting movement, nature, the plant kingdom, and spiritual connection for my transformation.
A pivotal moment in my life came in 2015 when I began my Yoga Teacher Training at The Shala Yoga School in Cape Town, South Africa. This transformative experience ignited my passion for yoga, leading to a lifelong devotion. At The Shala, I completed my 200-hour and 300-hour YTT and managed the school for five years. This intensive training was a springboard for my yoga teaching journey, deepening my love for human physiology and the intricate interplay between body, mind, and spirit.
As both a dedicated student and compassionate teacher, I honor the lineage and traditions of yoga while embracing the ever-unfolding journey of self-discovery. With boundless enthusiasm and unwavering dedication, I invite you to join me on this path, offering guidance, support, and encouragement. My presence is a testament to yoga’s transformative power, reminding us that within each of us lies the potential for profound healing, growth, and awakening.
Beyond yoga, I am an avid horse rider, dog lover, and ocean enthusiast, planning to complete my free diving qualifications this year. I cherish hiking, nature, and all things earth, skies, and water. As an identical twin, I have a close bond with my family and value trust, honesty, integrity, awareness, and purpose, striving to live with reverence and authenticity.
I am deeply passionate about working with women, supporting them on their healing journeys, and helping them realize that the power they need lies within. Believing in the strength of community, I founded the Dealigned Living Community and The Power of You!, bringing women together to rise, live fulfilled, meaningful lives, and embrace their true potential.
