When did you start your yoga journey?
I took my first yoga class around 2010 when I was living in a small mountain town in North Wales in the UK. It was a weekly, evening Iyengar yoga class held in a small school gymnasium and led by the bendiest older gentleman I’d ever seen.

What do you enjoy the most about your practice?
A dedicated opportunity to be present and quiet a busy mind - bringing stillness, acceptance, and perspective. I also enjoy the physical challenge and always having something to improve and work towards.

What’s your favorite thing about 108 Yoga?
The community - the sense of a genuine, welcoming, and supportive space. The intentionality of every class. And of course, the top-notch playlists that complement the energy of each class.

What do you like to do when you’re not at yoga?
Anything outside - hiking, camping, trail running, paddle boarding, surfing, fly fishing, gardening, snowboarding. Master of none - but I’ll give anything a go.

Whats your walkout song?
‘Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes’ by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo

One word to describe you?
Easygoing

What is your favorite class? And why?
They are ALL amazing, but if I have to choose - Blaze for the challenge and the energy and Soul for spirit.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I was born and raised in Zimbabwe - a wild and wonderful upbringing in a beautiful and resilient part of the world that stays with me always.
