Get to know me

I have loved and practiced yoga for over 15 years. from the moment I step onto the mat, my body begins to shed and melt away all the stress i’ve been holding onto. yoga, to me, is so much more than the asanas - it’s a way of living, both on and off the mat. through my own training and lived experience, i’m passionate about sharing these teachings in a way that feels grounded, accessible, and real.

I'm on a mission to make these practices welcoming to everyone ~ because well-being is for all of us. i love guiding others to reconnect with their authentic essence and sharing the tools that have supported me along the way.

my love for yoga opened the door to a wider world of healing. this journey has grown into essence of grace yoga, and more recently, studio satya - a boutique wellness space co-founded with my husband, joseph. at studio satya, we hold space for breath, movement, stillness, and sound in a deeply intentional way. we’re also building community through affinity of souls, which continues to evolve through our local events, one-on-one offerings, and immersive retreat experiences.

one of my greatest joys is creating and hosting retreats that combine inner healing with outer adventure. together with joseph, we’ve led transformative retreats in breathtaking locations like bali and sri lanka, blending yoga, breathwork, sound, connection, and culture into unforgettable journeys. our retreats are designed for those ready to pause, reconnect, and come home to themselves - in places that naturally invite reflection, healing, and expansion.

my relationship with the breath began with a simple quote: “without breath, we have no life.” that line changed everything. breathwork has become a powerful anchor in my own healing — supporting nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and inner balance. i now share these practices through group sessions, workshops, and one-on-one spaces.

I’m also deeply inspired by sound. alongside joseph, we use crystal bowls, metal bowls, and voice to create immersive sound experiences that support deep rest and transformation.

I’m a registered 200hr vinyasa yoga teacher, with further training in restorative yoga, yoga nidra, mindfulness, prenatal & postnatal yoga, kids, mums & bubs, and chair yoga. i’m also certified in breathwork, sound healing, and authentic relating.

with over 12 years of experience in event management and a background in travel consulting, i bring a unique lens to how i curate experiences — from local workshops to overseas retreats that blend intentional practice with deep connection and cultural richness.

thank you for being here. i look forward to meeting you — whether it’s at studio satya, on retreat, or somewhere along the path.

with love & light,
grace x
