Hi! My name is Kei and I am a yoga teacher and musician.

I was introduced to Yoga as a practice while I was studying Psychology at university.

Yoga for me at that time was purely physical - working on holding poses as comfortably as possible for as long as the instructor went on to the next one - and working on my shallow breathing.

A chance event took me to India in 2013 to study it in depth, where I fell in love with the richness of Yogic sciences, philosophy and how I could use my breath to bring ease to parts of my body - and heart - which I desperately needed to at that time.

It helped to create a container for me to process emotions within my body. In Kundalini Yoga I found a ritual space within the Kriyas and meditation, to transform the pain I was feeling and helped me find expression for anger, sadness, joy and bliss.

These practices gave me an anchor during moments of my life where I felt lost at stormy seas for what felt like a decade (and kind of was).

Apart from being powerful, they are also fun, a little quirk and sometimes strange.

I would be honored and grateful to share these practices with you.
