Yoga & Meditation
Yoga and meditation have been part of my life for more than a decade, both as a personal practice and something I have continued to study, teach and share with others.
My teaching has been shaped by years of contemplative practice, periods of silence and retreat, and an ongoing interest in embodiment, awareness and the deeper questions these practices can open.
I offer yoga, meditation and Yoga Nidra through workshops, groups, retreats and facilitated experiences for organisations and communities. Practices are adapted to the people in the room and the context in which they are being offered.
My approach is particularly influenced by Hridaya Yoga, contemplative meditation, Yoga Nidra and embodied and non dual approaches to awareness.
Yoga, Meditation & Contemplative Practice
Yoga and meditation have been part of my life for more than a decade, both as a personal practice and something I have continued to study, teach and share with others.
My teaching has been shaped by years of contemplative practice, periods of silence and retreat, and an ongoing interest in embodiment, awareness and the deeper questions these practices can open.
While these practices can offer space for rest and stillness, my interest in them has always extended beyond this. Meditation can also offer a way of becoming more intimate with our experience, noticing the movement of thought and identity, and exploring our relationship with awareness itself.
The Heart
At the centre of my meditation practice is an orientation toward the Heart.
Within the Hridaya tradition in which I trained, the Heart does not simply refer to the physical or emotional heart. It points toward a deeper dimension of awareness and being, something that is explored through direct experience rather than belief.
This sits within a broader non dual understanding of meditation. Rather than meditation being only something we do, or a state we are trying to achieve, practice can become an inquiry into the nature of experience itself.
Over time, my own practice has also been influenced by other contemplative, embodied and non dual teachers and traditions. What continues to interest me is not spirituality as something separate from life, but what happens when these teachings meet the ordinary human experience of relationship, grief, motherhood, work, uncertainty, the body and change.
These ideas are offered as invitations for exploration.
Practice & Teaching
I completed my 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Hridaya Yoga in 2013 and have since facilitated yoga and meditation classes, workshops, groups and silent retreats in Australia and internationally.
My practice continues to be shaped by ongoing study, periods of retreat and silence, and teachers within contemplative, embodied and non dual traditions.
Rather than teaching from one fixed method, I draw from this ongoing practice while remaining attentive to the people in the room and the context in which we are practising.
Facilitation, Workshops & Private Offerings
Alongside my therapeutic work, I have been teaching yoga and meditation and facilitating groups and retreats for many years.
I am available to facilitate meditation, yoga, Yoga Nidra and embodied practices for organisations, workplaces, retreats, community groups and private events.
This might look like a one off workshop, a regular class, a session woven into an existing retreat or program, or something created specifically for your group.
Offerings may include:
• Meditation and mindfulness
• Yoga Nidra and deep rest
• Yin and gentle embodied movement
• Nervous system and somatic practices
• Workshops exploring rest, presence, embodiment and self awareness
• Retreat and group facilitation
• Custom sessions for organisations, teams and community groups
If you have something particular in mind, you're welcome to get in touch. We can talk about your group, what you're hoping to offer and whether my work might be a good fit.
