I love what we have created here in this wonderful old historical town. This place is so special to us, like I said its where Murat & I first met and its been his family home for over 40 years. It holds so many wonderful memories.

I am teaching/guiding yoga, that I LOVE my teaching has been inspired by many teachers but mostly from my own learnings and continual yoga practice along my journey. The sudden death of my father when I was 25, having delapitating Rocesea on my face for over 15 years, putting my work life before my own, being a mum to two beautiful children and a wife to a gorgeous husband and the loss of my dear mum to cancer in March 2013.

Every one of us has a story and if I hadn’t lived through mine and grown as a person through mine, I would not be offering or guiding yoga today. It has been very hard at times but a phenomenal journey and through my yoga and breathing/meditation practice it has brought me here to share my passion and hunger for life with so many wonderful people in our beautiful oasis here in Side.

I love watching the transformation in people from the time they arrive to the time they leave. The chilled out vibe that takes over them throughout the holiday. Stresses and tension release, it really is lovely to see and to be able to offer a home from home environment for people to enjoy inspiring yoga and just relax. To guide a wonderful group of people to bring out the best in each one of us and to grow YOUR own yoga. Flowing with the breath to see where it takes us without judgement or force to open and create space in our bodies. To breath and bring calm to the mind and relaxation throughout the whole body with lots of fun along the way.
