My Personal Yoga Practice and Recovery Journey

My teaching is built on the reality of my own body. I have navigated shoulder dislocations and ligament tears, and these experiences taught me that a practice is only as good as its foundation in safety. I do not teach from a place of theoretical perfection. I teach from the scars and the breakthroughs that happened on the mat.

When we work together, whether at the Krishna Wellness studio or outdoors at Cubbon Park, we focus on the process rather than the destination. I use props like ropes, blocks, and bolsters not to make the work easy, but to make it sustainable. The Iyengar rope wall, for instance, is a core part of how I help students decompress the spine and release nerve pressure. It allows you to explore inversions and deep stretches without the fear of injury that often holds us back.

My approach is inherently physical and technical. We use manual traction, micro-movements to rebuild muscle memory, and active spotting to ensure you are supported. However, we also hold space for the mental side of things. If you have ever felt overwhelmed or restricted by your own body, you know that the struggle is as much about focus as it is about flexibility. By integrating Pranayama and Yoga Nidra, we quiet the nervous system, helping you move from a state of pain response to one of recovery. This is a journey of rediscovering what your body is capable of when you stop fighting it and start breathing with it.
