About Deb

Deb began her yoga vocation in 2000 and took part in nine years of formal education to become qualified as a Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist, and Vedic Chant Teacher. A student of T Krishnamacharya, she is grateful to her teachers and mentors for their wisdom, insight and knowledge.

Her areas of expertise are interconnected and complementary, allowing her to provide classes, courses and consultations that are grounded in a depth of understanding, care, and knowledge. 

Deb combines her study, experience, and the discipline she has developed over the years to provide an array of services, including:

• One-on-One Yoga Teaching 
• Yoga Teachers Mentoring
• Small-Group Classes
• Individual Yoga Therapy Consultations 
• Vedic Chant Classes
• Beginners Vedic Chant Classes
• Meditation and Relaxation Practices
• Breathing Exercises
• Retreats and study blocks

She also offers yoga mats, bolsters, chants and sutra texts.

Deb’s Yoga Approach

Her primary approach is to provide yoga care using the full range of tools her education has taught her. Krishnamacharya’s deeper approach to spirituality empowers people to discover their deepest selves and enables them to grow. 

In Deb’s approach, she meets students where they are, then progresses gradually. Some may start with a desire to have a healthier, more supple body, whereas others might be interested in meditation, Vedic Chanting, or philosophy. Some suffer from illnesses and seek ways to improve their wellbeing and cope with them.

The practice adapts to both internal and external changes because we don’t stay the same.

Despite its ancient roots, yoga in this lineage is deeply relevant in today’s modern life. The approach is holistic, encompassing your physical, mental, and emotional needs. 

This is not a standardised approach, nor is it one-size-fits-all. The goal is to find a solution that honours you - your age, health status, lifestyle, responsibilities, time constraints, occupation and energetic capacity.

Testimonials from Previous Clients 

“When I first met Deb, I was lethargic and continually felt bloated, despite a healthy diet regime. The asanas Deb gave me had an immediate positive effect on my digestive system. As a life and health tool yoga has, and always will be, invaluable to me. I know that with Deb’s help my practice will grow and change with me. It feels like my life and body are continually changing and I’m always being challenged by one thing or another. It’s encouraging to me that Deb is always there with advice, I believe she has an instinct about my needs and always seems to know exactly what is needed. I don’t believe I could have continued to practise yoga over these years without Deb’s individual attention.” - Kristine

“Deb’s classes provide a friendly safe space for students of all ages. 
Her clear and concise, yet gentle guidance through each asana and vinyasa incorporates correct position, controlled breath and counterpose. Yoga has taught me acceptance of myself and given me the opportunity and strength to challenge my full potential. Deb has provided me with a non-judgmental and peaceful space where I can return home – to myself.” - Lesley
