Having danced for 22 years, trained in RAD, ISTD, African, Salsa and gained a Bsc in Psychology and Ba Hons at London Contemporary Dance School, I have danced with some of London's top choreographers such Hofesh Schecter, Lea Anderson, and danced the repertoire of Henri Oguike and Jiri Kylian. Although my love of movement is etched into my DNA, I felt that this could be explored beyond codified technique.
I practise Capoeira and Tai Chi in exploration of this.
I went on to gain a Hatha Teacher qualification and a 200 RYT YA in New York. However my sole source is Jonathan Monks.
Having also studied Voice work and Music, i believe that in the same way we are brought to movement through music, we are brought to express our natural energetics through dance or a fluid based practise. Having practised the Yogamonks style over 7 years, and now working on a daily basis with Jonathan on movement creations, concepts and philosophies, I was a given the wide open space to unfold my truth in, by Jonathan Monks. I desire to nothing more but
to provide this wide open space to unfold your truths in the same
way. This can be done through the practise of The Yogamonks style as it imposes nothing in the body or spirit, but just like the natural energetic spirals in the body, allows your true self to unravel and unwind.
My teaching Practise works on the same principles as Yogamonks-
Spaciousness within the Body
The development and boundless applications of the Present self
The release into what is already there, therefore expanding consciousness from the entire space in which you inhabit, universally.
The practise will be full bodied and with full commitment. Energetic and warming and will cater for beginners to general levels. Concepts that Jonathan explores will be repeated and occasionally varied in order to increase the amount the student can process with physical and mental clarity.
Energetic pathways inform my practise and teaching and are accompanied with anatomical specifics.
My classes promote deep body understanding whilst ensuring that the student becomes physically prepared (gets stronger and more flexible) for the energetics that will transpire.I experience the energy from within my body through my connective tissue (fascia) and this connection provides my inspiration to teach. Quite simply i wish to share my knowledge of how to live with greater physical and emotional ease in preparation for the spirit of the individual to shine through effortlessly. To express your own truth to its fullest potential.
