Hello!
I'm Tash. I’m one of a gazzilion Yoga teachers you will find in London who gave up their career in the professional/corporate world to pursue their dream of teaching Yoga.
I believe in living a relaxed life full of joy, light-heartedness and gratitude. These feelings inform and guide my teaching and practice, with an awareness of the quality of the breath and an intuitive exploration of the body. I have used yoga as a tool for many years to learn more about myself both physically and emotionally and it is through this knowledge that I am able to cultivate more of what truly matters to me. It is the therapeutic value of yoga that I am particularly passionate about and hope to pass on to my students so that they can realise just how good their bodies are designed to feel.
I’m a big fan of lists so here are some interesting, (and some not so interesting), things about me to help you negotiate whether I’m your kind of person/Yoga teacher.
-
I have a schnauzer (dog) called Dexter, he is the most adorable furry friend and I love the way he smells
-
I really, really like eating. I especially like stuffing my face with spicy food and then binging on sugar to balance it all out
-
I’m generally quite an optimistic person (or like to think I am)
-
I’m really interested in Yoga to relieve stress (post-traumatic and everyday). You will probably find elements of stress relief in all my classes
-
I was born in Indonesia and moved here when I was 4. I pretty much grew up in London and feel most at home in this wonderful city
-
I’m really close to my friends and consider them to be more like family
-
If you like to laugh then we will probably get on
-
I don’t take life too seriously and this is reflected in my classes - expect light-hearted sessions mixed in with some soothing movements
-
Controversial opinion but I don’t really believe in high-intensity exercise. I much prefer dancing or walking to get my heart-rate up
-
I suffer from complex PTSD and I’m always amazed at how Yoga has helped me heal
-
I have never watched a full episode of Game of Thrones or The Simpsons
-
I love watching Friends even though it is very much politically and socially outdated - perhaps a comfort thing?
-
By very unpopular opinion, I actually think Ross is the funniest
-
I have worked as a Primary School Teacher in London for years before I gave it all up
-
I don’t miss teaching children whatsoever. I much prefer seeing all your adult faces each week
-
I have often been told that I am a good listener
-
I’m all about the ‘fried rice for breakfast’ kind of life
-
I find it hard to cry in front of people but I am working on it
-
I love to hug. Especially a long and lingering one!
-
I’m currently thinking whether you think I’m crazy for putting my ‘about me’ section into a list format?
Still unsure as to whether you want to take my class? Get in touch and we can have a chat and get to know each other.
