My Profile
I am a registered school teacher, and a registered children’s yoga teacher.
As a school teacher since 1992, I have regularly worked with kids with ADHD. I have seen the challenges that kids with extreme sensitivity face.
As a yoga teacher I have been teaching adults since 2006 and with children since 2010. I’m registered with Yoga Australia as an Intermediate Level teacher. My training includes 320 hours with My Health Yoga, 520 hours with Yoga Physio and 10 hours with Radiant Child Yoga Program. I recently trained in yoga therapy for Children with special needs. My yoga teaching won a Business Achiever Award in Fitness and Sports in 2011.
I started teaching yoga to children when my daughter was attending Chapel Hill Kindergarten in 2010. When she moved to Brisbane Independent School I started to teach yoga to the children there. I’ve worked with children from prep to grade 7 ever since. At this school I have regularly worked with students with ADHD and ASD. I have also seen the challenges that highly sensitive children experience.
My work at BIS has shown me that the more sensitive a child is, the more they benefit from yoga and meditation. I have discovered that although sensitivity can be a challenge for the child, it can also be a blessing when given gentle and confident guidance. In my 8 years at BIS I have observed how students with sensitivity issues, whether ADHD, ASD or HSP can use embodied practise to move into profound levels of peace, self-awareness and self-connection that far exceed those without sensitivity issues.
