I started practicing yoga with Claudette, Sivananda Yoga teacher, in 1999. I started my Teachers Training with Durgana (Ishta Yoga) in the year 2000. I started teaching immediately with the blessings of my teachers. A new world opened for me, a world that I never knew was within me. A deeper sense of feeling, a connection with myself, melting away a numbness to the world. I experienced a thawing of resistances and protective, defence mechanisms.
I love exploring all different styles of hatha yoga and all methods of meditation and yoga practice. My favourite part of teaching is explaining the physics of the body to allow each to return to their natural movement and ease in the body.
Through creating the further teachings for advanced practice, workshops and teachers training, I have fallen in love with the ancient practice of the yogis, described in the upanishads and the tantras. A great connection is felt with the tantric practices as a process of evolution of consciousness. Arriving at a deeper understanding of the method of practice, the philosophy and the result of energy activation has become a strong focus in my practice.
Through the physical movement and postures, breath and focus of the mind, allowing the union of mind, body and soul. You can feel your attention change and open to grace.
The practice of the physical aspect of yoga, known as Hatha Yoga (asanas, pranayama, dyana) is a gateway into the higher understanding that we are pure energy, there is only space. The journey starts with feeling stronger, more mobile, content and knowing there is a practice, a way of changing the physical experience of the moment to be more in alignment with who you truly are. The quest of knowing the true essence of self is the substrate on which the practice is built. Knowing that we are energetic beings, manifested as a physical body, to have the experience of expansion, responding to our environment and knowing that we can be in a different relationship to our experiences.
Yoga ClassesI felt a strong calling to practice healing and a great desire to channel, I think in a quest to be close to the other realms and beings in higher vibrational states. I didn’t know how that would look. I started with my own healing journey from the yoga teachers training, to learning and completing courses Reiki, Family Constellations, Applied Kinesiology, Theta Healing. Venturing into Qi Gong, Tai-Chi, Shamanism, Trance Healing, Light Language, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping, EFT), quantum touch, Trauma release exercises (TRE), Sat Nam Rasayan, Past Life Regression and channeling.
This was all brought together when I encountered a being ‘Red Cloud’ who was channeled by Estelle Roberts, British Spiritualist medium. A method of healing spontaneously arose and all fell into place within the spaciousness of an open mind. I call this method of healing Connective Healing. A form of qi-gong or energy flowing through my hands, being a channel for the higher planes to bring about physical, emotional and mental change for the client. Using all the methods within that are necessary for each client.
HealingHealing happens from the higher spaces of ether and light. Allow yourself to be guided into the states of relaxation where these spaces can be drawn upon to bring about change and transformation, freedom from the realised engrained limiting belief systems.
In the returning to our natural state of love, who we truly are, we allow all to come to balance and harmony. The body and the mind experience the same sensation of health and well being, this is the result of bringing energy from the spaciousness.
