My Yoga journey began many moons ago in 1994 whilst on a two-year expatriate spell in Bangkok. I often visited the beautiful Thai Buddhist temples and went on a Meditation retreat run by Buddhist Monks which was in the form of Vipassana Meditation - insight meditation focusing on the breath and repeating mantras (sacred sounds) on the rise and fall of the abdomen.

Whilst living in Devon I trained as a Reiki Practitioner which introduced me to the esoteric body system. I also joined a meditation group which helped me with expanding the technique of visualisation and opened up my spiritual awareness.
In 2002, I moved to Surrey with my family and set up my own meditation and healing groups and in 2004 I started my training with the British Wheel of Yoga as a Yoga Teacher.

I realised that my path is to do deep soul work and seek liberation so I have also spent time doing self-study and healing. I have spent some years looking at the self, discovering who I am, my purpose for being here and healing the soul. I have found Shamanic Healing really effective - Journeying and Soul Retrieval and have recently completed a Shamanic Practitioner’s Course with Eagle’s Wing, College of Shamanic Medicine.

Shamanism is about being connected to the earth and nature, as well as being connected to the Great Divine. Many people believe that Shamanism is only connected to the Native American Energies, however it is about the old ways of living, honouring the Earth, the food that it provides and honouring the Sun and The Moon. As it states in the Yoga Sutras - we all have the Sun (Male) and Moon (Female) energies within us, this also relates to the Yin and Yang theory from the Far East. These old theories have never really been lost but have been suppressed over the years. These philosophies are very similar at their core but the teachings vary. However to me they all lead to the same common wholeness. What is this wholeness? There are many answers to this question but for me it is union of the mind, body and spirit, being in touch with the self, knowing who you are, being at peace and in harmony, being liberated from suffering. When you are in harmony and at peace with the self, you have an abundance of energy, energy which can be sent out into the universe to help in the healing of the planet.

My Sanskrit name given to me by my great Yoga tutor - Swami Satchidananda Mataji, is “Mokshapriya” which means “She for who liberation is dear”. In numerology, I am a number 5 which means I am here to do soul work and work as a Master Healer and Spiritual Teacher, to pass on the higher truth.
