KAVI in pure sanskrit tradition, has a number of meanings. For me it is Whispering Wisdom: a beautiful concept and reflection of purpose; which is to provide a service to humanity in a gentle and skillful way through the transmission of shared experience with me. Enabling my students and clients to get relaxed and quiet enough to hear their heart and soul song as it reveals itself to them, so as to find peace, clarity and purpose in life. Yoga's beginnings were in Northern India over 5000 years ago, and was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. Our modern yoga and tantra practices remain steeped in the ancient wisdom and tradition, encompassing body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of happiness and well being - the practice is the teacher, I am only here to guide and support your experience. We learn from our students - you are also our teachers. You will be joining a yoga tradition that is practiced by millions all over the world, so you are definitely not alone in your journey. I offer a range of modalities: Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing, Vishoka Meditation, Coaching and Mentoring, Workshops and Retreats. All prepared and presented with love and care; my highest intention is your experience. I aim for classes no larger than 10-15 persons, to ensure personalised service, and the room for 1:1 is private and welcoming. I will also come to you and your business or retreat location if requested, just talk to me about what your needs are and I'll do my best to make it happen.

I am a seeker and a student first, and have been practicing Hatha yoga, meditation, and yoga nidra for 30+ years. I am certified as a yoga and meditation teacher and hold qualifications in sound healing and life coaching. All these modalities complement each other and can offer a holistic approach to healing. Yoga and meditation are transformative practices that enrich your life over time. Sound Healing is a powerful experience, again an ancient technique that is gaining more awareness to vibration as a medicine for body, mind, and spirit. It will be up to you as to what you would like to experience, how your journey unfolds, and you will often be self guided or attracted to different support tools along the way. My teaching is based in the practices and philosophies of the Himalayan tradition of Yoga. Illuminated by Patanjali in the text of the Yoga Sutras, and one sutra that really resonates strongly with me is sutra 1:36, 'The Heart and the Light Beyond all Sorrow': Vishoka. The path of accessing and listening to your own inner wisdom, the heart's whisper that guides you in finding peace, joy, and resilience, enabling you to fulfill your life's calling. I am just here to facilitate a process of getting quiet enough for you to hear it.
I am registered as a Yoga Teacher 500 hrs with Yoga Alliance, and give great thanks, gratitude and acknowledgement to my formal teachers, their teachers, and traditions: Ms Glenda Hartley and Mr Rod Stryker. My current teacher, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait of the Himalayan Institute (USA), is a modern day master and living link to the unbroken Himalayan tradition of which I am an initiate. I am a forever student of yoga, and each year I will study and develop myself so I can continue be of service to others. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to the practice.
Imagine a life free from pain and sorrow, and infused with joy and tranquility. The ancient yogis called this state vishoka and insisted that we all can reach it. The key is a precise set of meditative techniques designed to unite mind and breath, and turn them inward. I have recently completed the teacher training and certification in Vishoka while an in-house student at the Himalayan Institute and am now sharing it with others anywhere in the world from Australia.
