I was born in South Africa and after training as a teacher, I taught in SA, Germany and England either as a Montessori Teacher and/or Yoga Teacher. I am a mother, a yogi, and am passionate about education that really works for children. As a result, I founded Starchild Yoga in 2004 and since then, have been teaching children of various abilities and in various locations, gathering many learning experiences along the way.
If you see the child through the eyes of a student, you will never stop learning, they are my biggest teachers!
My most recent project is Starchild Yoga Teacher Training. This is a course taught straight from my heart, incorporating what I believe conscious education could be, my way of seeing children in their individual truth and the wondrous tool of Kundalini Yoga.
Starchild Yoga is an education for peace. My objective is to share my yogic ideas and passion with as many adults as possible. Yoga is a gift for life, if we offer it to children early in life, they will lead us into a future of peace.
