What and where to do you teach? I’m a Possibility Advisor at the Ajax studio.
What do you like about being a part of the Balanced Life Yoga team? I like helping people find the class that’s perfect for them and watching them grow and develop their potential through yoga.
What drew you to Yoga? I was intrigued by yoga because of the benefits it has on the mind and the body. I was looking to reduce stress and tension while also receiving the benefits of a good workout. Yoga’s the perfect balance of relaxation and fitness!
What is your favourite pose? I enjoy pigeon pose because it’s a great stretch that still allows me to melt into the mat and relax.
What is a challenging pose for you? Downward facing dog – I’m still working on the flexibility in my legs!
What did you want to be when you grew up? I still have the dreams that I had when I was younger, and have always aspired to be a writer.
If you could have dinner with any 4 people alive or dead who would they be and why? My grandmother Nanny Viv, because she’s a constant reminder of inner strength, genuine happiness and ceaseless love. Audrey Hepburn (although we may have to have breakfast together outside of Tiffany’s) because she has a class and an elegance which are truly timeless. J.K. Rowling – she’s my childhood hero and I’m a huge Harry Potter fan! And Albert Einstein, because, well, who wouldn’t want to have dinner with Einstein?
What is something about you that may surprise people? I love listening to rock music.
What is your personal mantra for happiness or success? “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” – Marilyn Monroe.
