Kim has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and uses a variety of styles which integrate her experience of Iyengar, Hatha, Astanga, Kaya Kalpa, and Restorative yoga, emphasising awareness of mind, body and breath whilst focusing on correct alignment. Kim believes that while yoga makes our bodies stronger and more flexible, yoga's greatest gifts are helping us to heal by stilling our mind and finding peace and an open heart~ coming back to grace. She aims to provide a safe, nurturing environment to allow her students to develop their own understanding of yoga. Kim has also been doing healing body work and has been doing therapeutic massage for 25 years, she incorporates Swedish, acupressure and aromatherapy to bring the body back to balance. She has produced a yoga CD and just finished work on her first DVD and will be featured on Body in Balance TV.
“I have been teaching yoga for 15 years...Yoga brings me to a place of peace, to a delicious space that allows exploration of oneself. A time for commune, bringing all things together. Yoga is a physical art working with the body, breath and mind to create harmony and well being. I started out as a gymnast and lived in my plimsols and gym slippers. After a bad injury at 14 I was unable to return to my practice. I found yoga when I moved to the Middle East in the 80's and travelled frequently to India but I really immersed myself in my practice when I moved to NYC and studied under the legendary Swami Bua. I then decided I wanted to wean myself from the corporate world and went upstate NY to the Sivananda ashram and did my teacher training. Yoga helped me to release pain from my old injuries and start to align my body as I began to work through the physical with breath I found something else, I had a sense of calm, I found my happy place, solace. As my journey unfolds I can see the benefits that I am receiving and I want to share the gift.”
