Who am I? What is my ‘purpose’ in this lifetime? How do I ‘know’ I am on the correct path, making the right choices?
Like every one of you, I have asked myself one or all of these questions at some point in my life. Yet, from my very first words, actions, & desires, my SOUL was showing me glimpses of the answers. But was I listening? Not at first.
Creativity was always my connection to ‘Source’, yet that gift was not something I understood until much later in life. For over 20yrs, I used my artistic expression & passion to a seek out experiences, information, wisdom, & meaning to everything that was happening around me & within me. This lead to an intense study of Bikrim Yoga in my 20’s, which served me well in a career as a professional Contemporary Dancer, Choreographer, & Visionary. Still, I was craving a deeper meaning within the physical expression of Asana which propelled me towards a further 15yrs of training at many yoga centres in the U.S. & Australia with a focus on Ashtanga Vinyasya & its many current variations. Yet after what seemed like a lifetime, one question that kept arising from deep within was… ‘where does all of this Yogic wisdom originate from, & how do so many different styles/teachings connect into a cohesive understanding of the whole? What is the SOURCE? How do we apply it to our lives TODAY?’
Little did I realise that the answer to those questions held the answer to ‘ALL’ the questions. Gifted to me by a choice to truly change my life, ‘The Practice Bali Hatha Yoga’ (200hr YTT) presented itself in 2018 during a 2yr journey of self discovery that started on the east coast of AU & ended in Bali. Once back in AU with one foot in the dense rain forest & the other in the crystal clear waters of the Pacific Ocean, I began to understand & assimilate the incredible teachings of Hatha Yoga as the one true ‘source’ of all Yoga.
As my birth number of 6 (Yantra) has foretold, I am here to teach & nurture those that have come to learn, for we are all equally deserving & capable of knowledge for the purpose of transforming & creating the life we are born to live. This spark of enlightenment was beautifully revealed to me through a more advanced course of study, again at ‘The Practice Bali Hatha Yoga’ (300hr YTT), in 2021. So now as I enter into my 25th year of ‘teaching’, I am humbly reminded of my Mahad (spiritual mission), to remain the eternally grateful ‘student’ yearning to pass on this golden knowledge to each and every person… in this lifetime & beyond.
