The success in Yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures, but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships

Bio

Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Householder Yogini, Certified Organic Farmer, Mother.

I remember finding Yoga as a teenager, in Canada, on a TV show in the early 80s ‘Lilias Yoga and You’. I was taken with her presence and sense of peace, moving gracefully through asana. Even then, with no understanding of what Yoga really was, I experienced the healing effects, and the undeniable sense of well being. Over the years, Yoga has given me a tangible way to find connection, peace, clarity and strength. I have been teaching since 2015.

Located in Brightwater, Tasman, NZ on Santosha Farm, our family run certified organic farm and native nursery. See santoshafarm.nz
