Riverheart’s Creative Director
Fearless love; Courageous expression.
These are the two guiding principles that I try to work from each day, and that Riverheart has been founded on. For me, the practices of writing, painting, yoga and meditation all seek to discover and express the same truth – that love and joy are at the root of all things.
Ancient and sacred, these offerings are the cornerstones of Riverheart, and it is both my deepest hope and my wildest dream that some of this magic will prove as contagious as I believe it to be.

Trained in Hatha and Yin yoga, my teaching also has a strong Iyengar influence and focuses on bringing each student's awareness to their own inner landscapes, rhythms, and how to modify their practice to suit their body and mind on any given day.
Prior to teaching yoga I worked as a performing arts instructor, social worker and international charity manager, all of which have helped to shape the way I share yoga and meditation as tools for self-awareness and resilience.
I bring a strong belief in the importance of mental health and wellness to my classes, using yoga, Buddhist and earth-based philosophies to guide each student in bringing their practice off the mat and into daily life.
During a Riverheart retreat, you can expect lots of props, gentle breathwork and visualisation, mantra chanting, empowering ceremonies, laughter and a deep sense of community and wellbeing.

All that's missing, is you :) The gateway is open, and the magic is ready.
Come. We can't wait to meet you :)
May all beings everywhere be peaceful and free, Namaste.
INSPIRING A GREATER LOVE OF LIFE
