Educator

I love learning and sharing knowledge. I have learnt the most from my patients and I feel a responsibility to share the insights they have shared with me; but of course I have learnt an immense amount from my colleagues and teachers too, both physiotherapy and yoga. I also love to share my passion for yoga with other health professionals, and to share my understanding of health with other yoga teachers.
