I have been practicing Hatha yoga for 30 years.  I completed my teacher training courses in Kerala (Southern India), Rishikesh (India) and in Nepal.  I am a trauma-informed practitioner and have a keen interest in Ayurvedic nutrition.  I aspire to live my life according to my 'dosha' (mind-body type), and try to use my innate wisdom to inform healthy lifestyle choices. I have had a variety of job roles; all have been working with people marginalised from mainstream society.  I use the gift of yoga to empower individuals to 'find their light'.  I use Yoga as a medium to support people to re-connect with their body and mind, and to live a life of authenticity.  In the words of Mahatma Gandhi "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony". Nurture through Nature's Winter Yoga Retreat, takes a holistic approach to well-being, using a variety of complimentary approaches to help you to re-align your chakras (energy wheels), improve the quality of your sleep and to use your personal power to set yourself realistic goals in your life.
