I rarely teach exactly the same yoga class twice.

​

Whether I’m walking around the room, teaching from the mat, looking in the mirror, or even demonstrating upside down, I’m still observing.

 

That’s the anthropologist in me.

​

I’m watching, listening and sensing what is actually happening in the room - how people arrive, how they move, how they breathe, where they place themselves and how they settle.

​

Through an Ayurvedic lens, these small details help me understand what the class needs that day: grounding, energy, steadiness, softness, strength, or rest.

​

My role is not to force students into a fixed idea of yoga but to meet them where they are, guide them safely, and help them build a practice that feels meaningful, intelligent and kind.

​

Sometimes I’ll invite students to remember what came next in a sequence, because yoga is also about awareness, presence and participation.

​

This is why many students say they feel seen, supported and genuinely cared for in my classes.
