Describe your teaching style in one sentence:
My main focus while facilitating movement is for individuals to move into something that suits their practice on that particular day; very invitational and driven by providing choice. I like to think of myself as merely a guide for the time students spend on the mat.What you love most about teaching yoga/pilates:
I love being able to support people while moving their bodies, whether it’s inviting students to become aware of their breath to get through some Pilates 100s (IYKYK) or finding a comfortable shape for savasana. Everyone’s different and wants to move in a different way each day, so I love being able to support that and witness people choose variations for themselves.Outside of yoga/pilates, what else could we find you doing:
At the moment, you’ll find me trying to conclude my final year of studying Occupational Therapy. So when I’m not referencing assignments, I’m down by the ocean, surfing, or drinking numerous coffees. I don’t mind an Op shop hop either… You’ll also find me practicing pilates or yoga most days too!What can’t you live without:
Coffee is number one, but movement comes in a close second. The way I feel when I get to move my body is unmatched, from pilates to yin to surfing, you just can’t beat it. As I say, a lil movement goes a long way…Instagram.com/alilmovement

What you love most about teaching yoga?
Encouraging people to simply have a little FUN with it! Adult life can feel so serious all of the time, its nice to find a space where you can move your body and breath mindfully but have a little giggle along the way. Creating practices that are accessible for EVERY-BODY is the most important thing for me as a Yoga Teacher - I am most inspired by people who are new to yoga, who step into a space that is unfamiliar and give it a go.Something we may not know about you:
