Deborah began her yoga journey at the age of seventeen and has been practising, studying and teaching ever since.
“I began practising Iyengar yoga as a teenager and was immediately hooked. With it’s emphasis on precise alignment, Iyengar provided me with a strong yoga foundation on which to grow and expand. Over the years yoga has become at once my anchor in life as well as a path toward emotional and physical freedom and well being.”
Deborah’s explorations led her to some of the most exceptional yoga masters in the world. ”I’ve been so blessed to study under many brilliant teachers…..each one has enabled me to deepen my own practice and naturally expand upon what I bring to my own classes.” She then began teaching about ten years ago after studying internationally with Shiva Rea and Ana Forrest in the USA as well as Angela Farmer in Greece. Most of her training was with Don Stapleton at the world-renowned Nosara Yoga Institute. ”Don was instrumental in my understanding of Interdisciplinary Yoga and awakening my own creativity in teaching.” Deborah is continually immersed in yoga teacher trainings along with the energetic healing art of ITB therapy.
Her classes are taught with much attention to the individual and also a sense of joy and humour………“I am continually drawn towards teachers of great spiritual depth and with a wonderful capacity for joy……which I believe is the heart of yoga practice.”
