strength | flexibility | balance

Peace of Heart Yoga is about cultivating more peace in our lives. Using the ancient wisdom and techniques of yoga, we can slowly transform the life we live. As a yoga teacher, I want to support you to be more curious about your life. I hope to inspire you to discover and experience the real peace yoga can bring.

Based in Perth, Western Australia, I have been leading retreats and teaching classes since 2006.

My classes focus on the breath, mind and body in a flowing vinyasa style. Moving with the breath, the weak body becomes stronger, the stiff body becomes more flexible and there is more balance in the body. The breath becomes more conscious and we see with more clarity.

All these elements reward us with more peace of heart.



ABOUT YOGA


Put simply, Classical Yoga has 8 limbs which intertwine around each other like a tree. It is an ancient system based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras that describe a road map to a successful life. While it is over 2000 years old, it is still proving perfect for our modern world.

Patanjali’s 8 limbs of yoga are:

YAMA (self restraints)
NIYAMA (observances)
ASANA (postures)
PRANAYAMA (breathing techniques)
PRATYAHARA (sense withdrawal)
DHARANA (concentration)
DHYANA (meditation)
SAMADHI (bliss)

Most of us know about the third limb of yoga which is asana, or postures. We all know that asana is good for you. When you are disciplined and you practice regularly:

When we introduce the other 7 limbs of yoga into our practice, we start to discover our true nature and find more peace, joy and equanimity.

I invite you to join me in my classes and on my retreats, and find the peace in your own heart.
