Yoga has made a profound difference to my addiction recovery and it continues to help me manage my tendencies towards an anxious mind and low mood. In the early days, a regular practice anchored me and, as time went on, the movement and breath helped to quieten the noise in my head.

Kundalini yoga, in particular, has made the biggest difference. The powerful breathwork and repetitive movements allowed me - finally! - to be still. Not only have my sleep, stress levels, cognitive function and mood dramatically improved, now I have space to learn more about what really matters to me. It has become a deeply reflective practice, and the teachings of yoga support me in all aspects of my life.

This stillness and sense of spaciousness is something that is elusive for so many of us, so I decided to train as a Kundalini teacher to share it with others. First I studied with the Kundalini Yoga School in Amsterdam, then trained as a Kundalini Global teacher with founder Carolyn Cowan.

The Kundalini Global method of yoga works with the stress system and helps us feel less anxious and contracted. We quickly experience how movement and breath can change how we feel and we learn to shift easily between energised and motivated; or open-hearted and receptive; or quiet and still.

It is an inclusive, safe and accessible form of yoga that’s unattached to any specific religious or spiritual practice. Everyone is welcome, and all levels and needs are accommodated.

I create an open warm-hearted space where you can feel comfortable to be creative, explorative or simply soak up the opportunity for some rest.
