About Spine Shine

Through Spine Shine, I am able to use my passion AND love of yoga for back related conditions to tailor make individual sessions for my students. I use specific techniques and props as well as provide my students with take home sequences to practise on their own.

I also work with students who are just wanting to ensure that they remain back problem free and want to work on general backcare basics (prevention is better than cure!).

Having experienced my fair share of back pain (I have scoliosis with three curves and sacrolisation) and with my love of all things yoga, I began to explore the benefits and tools that yoga has to offer to improve back pain. I went on to complete my 20hr Scoliosis course with Elise Browning Miller (a generous of spirit, gentle and incredible teacher based in San Francisco) and the only 100hr Backcare and Scoliosis course in the world through Yoga Union with Alison West and Kaitlyn Hipple in New York (an intense, brilliant course packing a real punch full of incredible learnings).

I teach yoga to children yogalini.org.za, am a qualified 500hr yoga teacher – Hatha and Vinyasa, which I completed through the amazing Wellness Connection in Hout Bay wellnessconnection.co.za and teach on both 200hr and 300hr teacher training courses.

I continue my online courses with the wonderful Rachel Jesien from New York through a number of online home practice series for Backcare and Scoliosis.
