About Us

 I am a certified BKS Iyengar yoga teacher with a diploma in nutrition.  I have been teaching general and private classes since 2002.  Way back in 1996 my first yoga teacher taught Iyengar yoga and I was hooked from my very first class.  I enjoy Yogacharya BKS Iyengar's attention to detail and alignment in all the poses.  I was also extremely  fortunate  to have been a student of Joyce Stuart, fondly known as "Padma", who was one of the most respected BKS Iyengar yoga teachers.

Padma, now in her 90s, was one of BKS Iyengar's first South African students.   Joyce , a yoga teacher from Pietermaritzburg, discovered BKS Iyengar's famous book, Light on Yoga , in 1967.   She was so intrigued, she decided to travel to Britain to learn from BKS Iyengar on his annual  visit there.  She was so inspired by the discipline and depth of his teaching, she returned home determined to share her newfound knowledge and to learn more from him.    

I completed my teacher training under the guidance of Padma through the BKS Iyengar Institute of Southern Africa (KZN region).  Over the years I have found myself teaching more private classes and have come to appreciate the value of one on one teaching.  I enjoy getting to know the student and then adapting their yoga practice to suit their needs and capacity so that they get the most out their practice.  

My Diploma in Nutrition allows me to add another aspect to my teaching as I do feel that a healthy diet that suits your body could definitely enhance your yoga practice.  Nutrition is a fascinating subject that can be explored on many levels. In the word of Alice May Brock "We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are."
