I discovered yoga seven years ago and instantly noticed how calm my mind became and the peace I felt inside and how this clam and peace started to filter into everyday life. After the studio I was attending closed, I floated around the Gold Coast for quite some time trying out different studios looking for a place to practice.  It wasn’t until I attended my first class at Essence of Living did I feel I had found my yoga home!

Having never experienced a pilates class before, I was intrigued, and took my first class at Essence of Living and instantly realised how weak my core was. I began practising pilates regularly and have had to work hard to improve my core strength. I was amazed at the physical transformation within a short period of time and the benefits it brought to my yoga practice.

With my passion and love for both yoga and pilates the opportunity presented itself to learn under the guidance of Michelle at the Essence of Living Academy. Throughout the course I developed a deeper understanding of the pilates principles, nutrition, anatomy and how to become a dynamic pilates teacher focusing on the breath, posture and alignment.

I have grown in so many ways since starting my practice and learning at Essence of Living, physically, mentally and emotionally! I am truly blessed and am excited to be able to share this with others.

I am continuing my studies and personal growth with Michelle and have recently completed the Level 1 & 2 Thai Massage course and am enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training 2011.

Everything is possible follow your heart!
