A B O U T V I R G I N I A

Before yoga made an entrance in my life, I had not much interest in the subject. With many preconceptions of what that word meant, I thought it wouldn’t be my kind of thing.  It was in 2013 when, going through an unsettling period in my life, a friend suggested that I join her at a yoga community class in London and I decided to give it a go.

After the class my idea of yoga had completely changed. I remember thinking “wow, there is a lot more to this than I thought. I had no idea that the breath can be so powerful!”. It must have had a profound effect on me as for some reason I could not yet grasp, I found myself coming back to the mat again and again.

Soon, I went from attending the occasional class to various weekly classes to developing a home practice alongside them. Yoga became my routine for physical and mental well-being.

6 years after that first class, I embarked on my 200h yoga teacher training as a way of deepening my own practice. This transformative experience made me realise what yoga meant to me: the path of coming back to myself, of opening up to others and connecting from an authentic place. Sharing my yoga experience through teaching seemed a natural progression in my journey.

Having trained in Ashtanga and Rocket yoga, I bring these influences to my Vinyasa flow classes too. My teaching has a strong focus on moving with the breath, giving options for everyone’s unique anatomy and the lighthearted attitude of the eternal student.

As a teacher, it is my intention to share the practice of yoga with anyone who is curious about the benefits that it brings, and offer guidance to integrate it into the modern rhythm of life.

Beyond the mat you can find me enjoying my other healing passions of art and music.
