I was always an avid traveller and I decided to take a year off to travel through India, Nepal, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and on to Australia and New Zealand. I plotted it out on a spreadsheet, took my vaccines, bought a new backpack and set off for India. I had given myself two ample months to explore and move on. India, however, had other plans. T...
What captivated me? Yoga and Freedom. Whether I was amidst the dust, the noise, the heat, the crowds, in the mountains, on the plains or in the jungle, I have never felt freer than I felt in India.

I spent over eight years travelling to California, New York and Portland...
I am often asked why I chose to dedicate my life’s energy to the practice of Yoga. There are many answers, but at its simplest: It offers me a vehicle to explore life’s questions, and a map for exploring myself from the inside out. It helps me understand how our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic bodies are interpenetrating freque...
