A little over a decade ago, I worked long hours in a desk job, did barely any exercise, had an increasing waist measurement and didn’t care about nutrition; a far cry from my early teenage years where I was lean, played every sport imaginable and ate pretty well.

A hormonal imbalance called PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) magnified my weight gain, but it took a doctor to tell me to start exercising and eating healthier before I took action.

I began to make the necessary lifestyle changes to turn my health around, however, this triggered another problem – gym workouts left me kilos lighter but physically and mentally burned out; this is how I found yoga.

Now with two young children, a household to manage and several businesses to run I know how chaotic life can be, and how important it is to look after yourself.

It can be super overwhelming when there are lots of things that need changing, but simple, small changes can add up to amazing results that last. I believe that finding a form of exercise you love, developing a nutrition approach that fits with your existing way of eating, and taking proper time out to recover are the keys to achieving your health, wellbeing and fitness goals.
