My journey with Dru Yoga and Buteyko breathing started after I had Covid. Being Asthmatic I have always been on the search for natural ways to manage my asthma and a bad bout of covid lead me to research further. Eventually I stumbled upon Butyeko breathing, which teaches functional breathing to assist asthma and various other illnesses and nervous conditions. I next came across Dru Yoga as a gentler approach to Hatha Yoga. This yoga school is relatively unknown in South Africa, but I was quickly drawn to sign up to their online classes. Dru Yoga has been running in the UK for about 45 years. As I came to love Dru Yoga so much I wanted to share it with others and I discovered that I could train to be a Dru Yoga teacher online. Whoopee!

I have completed my 200hr training and continue with other courses to improve my knowledge of yoga. One of these is the Dru Breathwork course which I am know certified to teach. However I decided to take this further and enrol with the Buteyko Clinic International and have completed their training course.

My passion for correct breathing is brought into my yoga classes, where I endeavour to teach habits that my students will take into their daily lives and not just in the class.
