Sri Lanka, a tropical paradise. This beautiful venue has everything you need for a superb 8-day indulgent yoga retreat: beautiful sunny beaches, friendly Sri Lankan hospitality, and delicious food. Enjoy free time by the pool or head to the beach to relax where you can swim, enjoy watersports or simply relax with a fresh coconut water. This is a perfect trip for those wanting yoga, sunshine and adventure.
At present, I am learning more about the Jivamukti yoga method, which follows a vinyasa-ashtanga style movement sequence, but elements of breath work, philosophy, spirituality, meditation and chanting all play a role in a Jivamukti class.
When I lead a class, I like to offer a fun, accessible and enjoyable experience. I am passionate about vinyasa flow and restorative yoga and want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do, so when you come to one of my classes you’ll see I offer lots of modifications.
So where can you find me? I am currently teaching online classes which are live every Wednesday 07:45AM and Sunday 09:30AM. I teach in person at at TriYoga in Ealing. Previously, I co-founded LEVELSIX, a community studio in Peckham and I facilitated the 200 hour vinyasa teacher training.
