My Story
When I move i feel free. My mind clears. My mood improves. My energy shifts.
I feel strong mentally and physically. In contrast, i also feel free by taking the time to
just be, sitting in stillness and silence.
The wisdom and techniques that i have learnt from studying and consistently practicing yoga,
qigong and meditation work beautifully alongside other more aerobically challenging sports
to provide insight, focus, flexibility, strength and stillness.
​
Through participating in competitive sport i understand the importance of keeping on
doing what you love - even with challenges such as injury and fatigue thrown at you.
Such setbacks set me on a new course of learning - one that involved adapting my lifestyle
to find balance, focus and a new sense of optimal living.
If only I had known about yoga, qigong and meditation long ago.
Well now I do and it is my intention to share these teachings with you!

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
