Healing through movement has always been at the heart of my journey. I began dancing at age 11 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and went on to become an A.I.D.T-certified instructor, teaching modern, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, funk, and tap for over a decade. Alongside this, I studied Exercise Science and Kinesiology, deepening my understanding of anatomy, alignment, and injury prevention—principles that continue to shape my teaching today.

Later, my love for rhythm and connection led me into the world of music, where I became one of South Africa’s leading DJs and the first woman to host and produce a national electronic music show on 5FM. But after years of high-paced living, I developed a debilitating panic disorder that brought me to the healing path of yoga. I began practicing in 2006 at a local ashram, but in the early days, I wasn’t truly present. As a dancer, I believed yoga was just about making beautiful shapes—and assumed I could do everything with ease. One day, I entered a headstand too quickly, without mindfulness, and fell into a backbend that compacted my cervical vertebrae. That moment was a wake-up call. It taught me that yoga is not about performance—it’s a life science rooted in awareness, humility, and healing.

Through steady, mindful practice, I healed my panic disorder, my neck and various other ailments—strengthening my knees after years of dancing, finding stability and presence during pregnancy, and rebuilding strength postpartum. I’ve come to believe deeply in yoga’s ability to adapt to every stage of life, and in the profound intelligence of the body when we listen and move with intention.

Since then, I’ve completed over 850 hours of teacher training in Hatha, ISHTA, and Pregnancy Yoga. Today, I teach Vinyasa, Yin, Slow Flow, and Restorative Yoga to individuals, groups, and corporate clients. I also facilitate retreats and lead workshops on yoga, mindfulness, embodiment, and women’s wellness—always with an emphasis on presence, alignment, and heart-centered connection.
