Rope Wall Courses

During my initial yoga teacher training with Ruth White in 2002 I studied breathwork extensively and took my Reiki 1. Around the same time, I studied a form of Qi Gong (Thai Chi Wuxi Gong), which activated my 'dantien' energy centre. I learned to sense, and using my breath, direct energy through my body.

Spiritual practice, yoga teaching and music have maintained a constant in my life and continue to evolve. Enriched by complementary therapies such as EMF (emotional freedom technique), kinesiology and Reiki counselling, which helped me face and transcend my chosen major health challenge.

In 2017 I learned transcendental (mantra) meditation and was also initiated into the Munay-ki rites- an ancient shamanic practice. I am a practitioner of Usui Reiki 1, 2 & 3 and Sekhem 1.  

Recently I have found commonality with 'spontaneous movement' in Qi Gong and Donny Epstein's 'respiratory wave' in Network Spinal. After having some profound ceremonial psilocybin experiences, I was inspired to take a course in psychedelic facilitation, including preparation and integration.

I draw upon a blend of ancient wisdom and ever evolving modern knowledge to hold a healing space for others to evolve. 

I started practicing yoga regularly in 1998 at the Sivananda Centre in Putney. Later practicing at various studios around London to explore different styles of yoga from Kundalini

to Iyenga and Vinyasa flow. On a move to Hong Kong with my family, I trained as a teacher in 2009 with Wanda Hewitt and have been teaching ever since. In 2014, I trained to teach

Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers and attended workshops with  Jason Crandell.  

My teacher training was with an Iyengar teacher so working with alignment was familiar. I installed a rope wall at  home and started teaching students on it in 2020 and found Ellie shortly after, along with a rope studio in Hove. I started teaching for Ellie in 2022. 

Learning and experiencing the practice of yoga using ropes with Ellie has been transformational, not least the benefits to physical alignment. Yoga philosophy, and how the practice effects energy, emotions and spirituality have been influenced by working extensively with Seane Corn, who I still work with. In my teaching, I draw upon some of the other aspects of yoga that make it so transformational.
