I began practicing yoga whilst working as a contemporary dancer. I was living in New York at the time and all the dancers were doing yoga because it made them stronger and more flexible . Over the years through practice I began to notice subtle changes in how I travelled in my daily life . Life continued to throw up curve balls but I found myself growing calmer. I was less obsessed about being perfect. I seemed to move through stressful situations quickly and with more ease.Life became richer and simpler.
Under the auspice of my company Twirling Sheila Productions I established a purpose built studio at Venus Bay Victoria – The Treehouse. Where possible I have used recycled materials for the studio including bringing back to life a beautiful Tasmanian Oak floor sourced from a Victorian House in Hawthorn. I love sharing my passion and knowledge of the body and run workshops and classes at the studio. My desire to address waste manifested into the creation of yoga bolsters and meditation cushions constructed and designed by me using bespoke materials and vintage fabrics. I think that Yoga is an artform which teaches us how to create an inspired and fulfilled life for ourselves. For further information regarding classes, retreats and also the Waste Project
