About me
Since childhood I have been drawn to the healing arts and fascinated by the interplay between our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and the body. Growing up in India and Nepal, and going on to study Social Anthropology, I have experienced many different cultures – and enjoy exploring the threads that weave and connect us all.
I am open minded and sensitive in my approach, grounded in a deep sense of compassion for ‘meeting’ you wherever you are at.
Training
I have always been fascinated by how the environment, including the foods we eat, stress, lifestyle and the thoughts we think influence our health and wellbeing.

Exposed to Buddhism and meditation from a young age, I draw inspiration from many different lineages and have a love for devotional Bhakti yoga through chanting and singing. I offer Hatha yoga sessions that change with the seasons and ebbs and flows of life.

“I discovered the practice of yoga through Lioba, and for that I am eternally grateful. Yoga has become my friend, and in that journey, I have been guided by her for over 10 years! It is testament to her unique, soulful, spiritual and grounding teaching that I've been coming to her classes for so long.”
