I discovered yoga while in Sydney, Australia. I took a 30 day challenge and immediately felt the benefits in my mind and body. Later, while living a very sedentary life while studying abroad in Japan, I missed the joy that yoga brought me. I thought:

​

"Why do I spend so much time doing the things that deplete me, when I could be doing what fills me up?"

​

This was the spark of inspiration that gave me the courage to impulsively sign up for a yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India - 30 days immersed in Ashtanga Yoga, with expert teachers. I now run my own online yoga studio, Homegrown Yoga, and teach in-studio sessions in Auckland, New Zealand.
