MENTORING
New to teaching yoga? Not sure where you'd like to go with your teaching? Didn't get as many A's to your Q's in your 200HR Teacher Training? Yoga Australia requires time, training hours and continuing education. Yoga Alliance is not far behind. If you're looking for considered, fun and educational time with a teacher that's been around a few yoga blocks, look no further. I've taught in several countries, in a number of fantastic and hilarious circumstances and with both the largest and the smallest of the yoga industry bunch. I'm honest about what it looks like for the every day yogi to do the thing they most want to do. Join me for something small or join me for the bigger conversation. Get in touch if you're not sure where to start, or how to get where you're going.

Happy to offer D) all of the above in sweet and easy packages. We perform better, we sleep better and we digest better when we're relaxed and allowed to take a time out. You don't always need a full 60 minute class, sometimes all you need is that Quick 15 Minute Meditation before you head into that meeting or answer that email.

What we get isn't always what we see, and what we see isn't always what we get. READ MORE...
THE DEEP DRINK
If you're looking to create a niche in the market, I'm here to offer you the opportunity.
I want your teaching or deeper understanding of yoga to go beyond the Asana. In each Yoga Teacher Training Module, I offer insight into the 8 Limbs of Yoga through the lens of Yoga Therapy. Each training incorporates aspects of the Energetics of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine and each training builds into and upon all the others.
This means that each Specialization Module will offer new insights, new Mudras & Meditations, and Philosophy related to the subject as opposed to re-iterating the same Sutras and Techniques you've learned in previous modules. We also stray from the out-dated and sometimes cookie-cutter approaches to Languaging and Sequencing.
Find YOUR VOICE. Build confidence using YOUR PERSONAL AND UNIQUE SKILL-SET. Add to your Teaching Tool-box and pull not from one style, but many styles with ease and aplomb. Learn to work intuitively and BECOME VISIONARY IN YOUR APPROACH to working with students both in group classes and in private settings.
Every 50HR YTT offers Meditations, Mantras & Mudras specific to each Specialization; the invitation is that you incorporate what you already know to be true for you, and offer more.

“When we achieve the beauty of poise and grace in the postures, we become so “full” of the sense of balance within and without that we take it into our lives. It becomes relevant, like a hallmark, in everything we do. It becomes an instinctive way of moving and of being.”
LIFE-LONG LEARNING
Simply put, I TEACH YOGA. I've trained and been asked to teach various forms of physical practice and when people ask what style of yoga I teach, I usually say "I teach everything." Over the last twenty years, I've taught thousands of classes worldwide and what I've seen and experienced is that every day, every year and every life-circumstance is different. I believe our practices should reflect this and change as needed. I take a LIFE-SENSITIVE approach to every Class, Workshop or Retreat I offer. I teach teachers how to do the same.
Whatever style of yoga you prefer or wherever you're coming from in your practice or life, there's always something new to learn. It’s life-affirming to consistently and constantly learn new things, to approach our lives and the things we do in different ways, and to be both flexible and supported when we do it.
I've been practicing yoga for over 25 years. I enjoy aspects of most types and styles of yoga practice. For me, it has always been important to continue learning and growing both on and off the mat. I bring a wealth of teaching, traveling and life experience to each Class, Workshop, Retreat and Yoga Teacher Training offered.
“Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. TEACHING is reminding others that they know just as well as you.
We are all learners, doers and teachers.”

I use Tibetan & Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, The Ocean Drum and The Medicine Drum, Chimes and a number of other Sound Tools. We can work One on One, in your office in any Corporate or Small Business setting and in Groups. This doesn’t necessary involve Yoga, but it does qualify as Nada Yoga; the Yoga of Sound. This is Meditation. This is easy on the senses allowing your body and mind to relax. No experience is needed. You can assume any posture and you can look forward to immediate relaxation. Sound is considered The Medicine of the Future.
EMAIL info@yogatherapyeducation.com to book a Group or One on One Sound Healing Session.
MEDITATION
Meditation is incorporated in Yoga Classes, Workshops & Retreats and every Yoga Teacher Training teaches Meditation techniques specific to each Module.
We meditate all the time. In little and different ways. Seemingly insignificant, the little moments of quiet and calm, if we become more aware of them, are keys to the sublime. As a Meditation Facilitator and keen practitioner, I offer various methods for entry into the sublime. EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT, and like the physical yoga practice, one size does not fit all with Meditation. Meditation should be accessible and it ideally offers, in each moment of presence, an inside response and dialogue to what we see and feel. Everything is meditation if we're present.
Let me know if you’d like to know more about the different ways I approach and teach Meditation.
