omnes in Latin means everyone or everything.
OM (ॐ) is the sacred sound of the universe; it is an all-encompassing vibration that unifies
everyone and
everything.
Having worked in education for 20 years, I often noticed a lack of pastoral care in terms of wellbeing, wellness and mindfulness. A few fortuitous events opened my heart and mind to yoga and everything that falls under its broad umbrella. An unfortunate spinal injury had caused me to think that I would never be able to put on my own socks again, let alone walk, but after many hospital visits, MRI scans, operations and zombie-state inducing medication, I sought out different methods of movement and healing. And so my journey with yoga began!
One misconception is that yoga practice is restricted to rigorous asanas or poses. Yoga may start with the preparatory exercise of the physical body but, by controlling the breath and focusing the mind we can nurture our inner wellbeing, reach peace and harmonise ourselves with the universe.
My passions are many but simple: my dog (he often joins my online classes!) music, nature, the sun and moon, crystals, travelling, yoga, Latin and Greek, and freeing my inner-child from its conditioning. What makes me feel serene is helping others -whether it be by sound healing, teaching breathing techniques to relieve anxiety and stress, or purely listening or making people laugh!
My odyssey discovering yoga has been an extremely positive force in my life. I would like others to feel a similar benefit by sharing the profound and healing effects of yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
