I have a background in classical Hatha yoga, including Ashtanga
Vinyasa yoga and yoga therapy. My main practice is
Ashtanga but my focus at the moment is on yoga therapy. I guide
students toward comfortable stillness in yoga asana. We work on
creating a balanced body to live in and a balanced mind to live with.
I started teaching in 1997 at a small school hall in New Zealand
with 3 students and when I left there were 20. Teaching those first classes
fired my passion for teaching and from there at the age of 18 I did my
first Hatha Yoga Teacher Training with the IYTA in New Zealand.
I also studied with my mother Valda Jaquiery in the Iyengar system
for 2 years.
With the yearning for knowledge I decided to leave New Zealand and
head to India. It was there I found a love for Ashtanga
yoga and Buddhist Tantra .
After a few years of searching and dabling my feet in the yoga well, teaching
and practicing, I completed an Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in
Byron Bay with Louisa Seer and Yoga Arts for 9 continuous months.
I then came back to New Zealand to set up the Tapas School of Yoga
in New Plymouth.
From there I had the opportunity to come to Sydney and work with Eileen
Hall as a senior teacher at Ashtanga Yoga Moves in Paddington.
I also teach classes at Elix’r Health Club in Sydney and conduct workshops
Internationally.
I continue to study and teach in India and Sydney. My partner, son
and I base ourselves on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
