Researcher and writer on gender and environmental justice
Yoga
I have trained as a yoga teacher in the Sivananda practice (2002) and became a Yoga Master through advanced teacher training in 2007.
I have taken the 'Yoga of the Heart' training with Nischala Joy Devi in 2012, a practice to support those with heart disease and cancer.
I ran a third yoga workshop run with Gili Shanit in the Arava Desert, Israel in February 2017
