Thank you for visiting my online home.

I’m a Level 3 (Senior) Registered Teacher with Yoga Australia and a Mental Health Aware yoga teacher.

My way of practising and teaching is gentle and easy-paced. After all, most of us have already had enough practice at pushing ourselves and rushing around, and we don’t need any more of that.

My moving meditations are within a normal range of movement. The power of the practice comes from mindfulness of the breath and in cultivating kind, non-judgemental attention.

My practice over the years has been a calm centre in the midst of change and challenge. I spent my younger years chronically ill, stressed, and in pain, so I appreciate the mental and physical ease and strength that my practice has given me every day.

I am so grateful that I can share this practice, thanks to the wisdom, knowledge and generosity of the lineage of teachers who have shared their knowledge and inspired me.

I offer Yoga & meditation courses and private sessions in the Huon Valley, as well as online.

I’m interested in how the practice of Yoga, and our sense belonging in nature, can support, comfort, nourish and inspire us in these challenging times.

When I’m not practising or teaching yoga & meditation, I’m growing food for my local community on my tiny farm, Bonnie’s Bowl Kitchen Garden. Bonnie’s Bowl produce is till-free, spray-free, slow-farmed and hand-picked with love. Bonnie’s Bowl is named after our Labrador Bonnie, Quality Control officer of Snap Peas.

I am deeply inspired by the nature and landscape of the Melurkedee land that I live and work on in the Huon Valley, lutruwita (Tasmania) and I respectfully acknowledge the palawa/pakana people as the Traditional Custodians of lutruwita. I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.
