My Connection Statement

I help kids, preschool and primary school age, establish their own daily yoga practice and soul awakenings through yoga journeys and meditations. I do this face to face in schools and through online courses, deepening connections and supporting kids to grow up on purpose – knowing the value of their individual uniqueness. 

About Me - My Biography

I’m first and foremost a mother of 2 boys who are now 24 and 21.

I have a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and completed the four-year teacher training from the International School of Dru Yoga. I’ve gathered qualifications and experience in meditation, mindfulness and yoga over the years with a particular focus on kids. I created and teach “Dru Kids & Teens”, a post graduate course for Dru Yoga teachers wanting to expand into this specialised area of teaching.

I founded The Yoga Garden in 2005, running yoga programs for children, teenagers and school teachers in child care centres and schools in the ACT. I’ve authored a children’s yoga book titled Deer-lightful – a yoga story awakening to our light within.

I’m currently in transition, creating an online yoga school for primary school kids – Kids Yoga School for the Soul (KYSS), and branching out to a wider audience, ultimately to kids all around the world.

My Passions

My passion lies in developing in children/young people a healthy sense of who they are and how to awaken to the greatness of their own potential. I aim to energise, strengthen and empower body, mind and soul and to provide experiences of relaxation/stillness so that children may continue to seek this out for themselves.

I aim to help young people and adults alike, to live a fruitful life of balance and harmony… with happy hearts, healthy minds and the drive to thrive.
