PUre Yoga PHILOSOPHY
Health or the ability to thrive physically, happiness & harmony exist in nature & remind us of our inherent potential.
To move out of states of stress and transform in a natural way. To evolve further either as a Yoga Teacher or sadhak, we hold the space while you grow. There are distinct stepping stones on the path which we have had direct experience of and can support others with.
​
We believe Yoga is a personal pathway to freedom and that every step is necessary in order to embody it fully as a way of living. It is a science to enhance the quality of life and one that is highly adaptable and accessible to all.
Our Promise to you is Purity
Purity is something that is not altered over time and holds the true essence of something. It is not subject to fashions or fads and withstands the forces that dilute. Purity is potent, undiluted, clear and will become a catalyst in the sacred alchemy of your life.

MY STORY
Like many others I found Yoga to help me recover from glandular fever - I was burnt out! Hatha Yoga being the holistic health system it has healed me and carved a pathway for further self growth and spiritual connection.
​
Having traversed this path through direct experience it's a privilege & honor to guide others wherever they are - finding the best practices and relevant lifestyle connections for you to thrive.
​
By building a community of practitioners we become co-travellers accessing the richness of the Yoga tradition.
​
Lineage empowered, community driven, scientifically back Yoga.
​
If you are looking for the next steps to take, or to build more depth in practice or to apply the principles of balance & harmony in your life then Pure Yoga is here to help.
I have been training Yoga Teachers’ since 2009 and honing this for the last thirteen years finding ways to mentor graduates to express their inherent strengths.
The last eight years in New Zealand has provided opportunities to connect with the wider Yoga community here in Aotearoa, to understand the needs and challenges that people of our nation experience and how Yoga can best be of service.
​
We continue to look for these opportunities while maintaining the connection with the roots, classical systems and source of inspiration in India.
​
I look forward to connecting with you.
