She has studied under many schools of yoga; including Iyengar, Jivamukti, Restorative, Vinyasa and Yin, and her classes blend and weave together the beautiful strands of healing yoga. She loves to bring all elements of yoga into her classes; blending meditation, relaxation, pranayama, and philosophy together with the asana practice.

In 2016 she founded the Shanticentre Training School, known for its courses in the fields of yoga, massage, and Reiki. Her retreats combine massage and yoga which allow for a deep level of healing and restoration.
