Why do you like your yoga hot?

I like the hot aspect of this yoga as it is complimentary to the other ways I incorporate yoga into my life. Many people do not realise that hatha yoga (Bikram Yoga) is merely one of the eight limbs of yoga.

What are your personal tips for students of Bikram Yoga Sutherland Shire?

Although I am not a teacher I would still say work with your form and let depth come in its own time. Everybody is in a different place, so don’t worry if you don’t look exactly like the people around you.

What is your favourite pose?

Toe stand. I like that you start with one pose (tree pose) and can end up in another pose altogether! I always smile when I get down there.

Who was your childhood celebrity crush?

Jennifer Connelly. It all started with ‘Labrynth’.

Do you remember what your first Bikram class was like?

It was hard work. But hard work pays off. Not many people get satisfaction by being lazy. The rewards will come when you start moving yourself.
