Sandy shares teachings sourced from over a decade of study. Since 2014 my focus has been on meditative movement with conscious breath, mindfulness and self-empowerment using affirmations, self-inquiry, and creative visualization.
I frequently travel to study and teach with my mentors at teacher retreats around Nigeria and Africa; and my favorite experiences are hosting/attending private gatherings for women, to empower ourselves, offering mindful practices that reignite this power.
Occasionally, I offer my practice to a wider audience, TV & Radio health programs. I lead Wellness Initiatives to enhance Corporate Culture – problem solving through meditation, stress management, and luxuriously packaged retreats.
I also volunteer with organizations focused on Mental Health; leading sessions on Big Brother Nigeria, with the housemates and its international audience, showed the role Yoga and Mindfulness can play in African homes. Also, at Fitness Festivals and initiatives for Preventive Healthcare with local and international Brands.
I utilize lots of ancient practices and my personal experiences, to mindfully guide students towards their true nature: for truth, wisdom and bliss. It is my passion to hold sacred spaces for transformation and self-discovery as you activate your inner sage, and create the life you love.

Meditation
We use Meditation to create mental clarity and calmness, it can help us to eliminate negative thoughts, worries, anxiety, all factors that cause stress and prevent us feeling happy.
Yoga
A consistent yoga practice increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration. It also helps in increasing flexibility, muscle strength and body toning.
Self-Discovery
I can help you Identify your abilities, to leverage and develop them. When you discover what you're passionate about, it's easier to grasp the concepts and accept them. Finding paths that we want to pursue, to lead fulfilling lives.

Experience
My interest was piqued at 17, as I read about people’s experiences, and wondered how a daily ritual of stretching and deep breathing could profoundly heal. Now almost 2 decades later, I’m writing similar words to inspire more people.
By 2014, I was documenting my yoga online, teaching myself and friends by posting my triumphs & fails. As I shared and participated in monthly yoga challenges, I was welcomed into a global yoga community – strengthened my dedication, we traded tips, made genuine friendships and I connected with expert teachers around the world.
I was inspired to intentionally create community too, and by 2015 I taught my first in-person class! A student from that class is now a certified yoga teacher (I’m so proud of her growth!), amazing!
I believe when the student is ready, the teacher will appear; and I’m so honoured to be a part of your journey.
Drawing from my personal/spiritual practice (and as an earth inhabitant), I’m acutely aware of oppressive systems that exist to ‘keep us in line’. So its important that I also inspire your individuation, by sharing practical tools that make your practice as easeful, pleasant and curious as possible.

Testimonials
Every time i attend a class with Sandra, i come out feeling at ease and clear, with mind and body feeling relaxed and ready for whatever is coming next.
I fall off my practice sometimes, and Sandra has helped me get back into it consistently. Regular check ins and very keen for me to notice the progresses I’ve made. I will recommend her to anyone trying to find that work life balance.
I’ve been to a lot of yoga classes and i always return back to Sandra because of the sequence of her class. You can tell its well thought out, with adequate rest between tough poses and cues for each student to stay aligned.
I followed Sandra on Instagram years ago and she’s been sharing her Yoga. I felt connected to her even before our first class together. That first class was everything i needed to kickstart my practice, the sounds, smells, sights – all meticulously selected for a truly holistic experience, i can’t wait for the next one!
I appreciate how she communicates to her students, especially about keeping to time so that we don’t miss any part of the session. She’s always on time and will inform us if any timing has to chance. I think its so important for a teacher to have that integrity.
I’ve known Sandra since she did her first yoga class at the beach in 2015! Since then she’s built yoga community with students and teachers, and i admire that. I also appreciate her tailored classes, how she adapts poses for my body type. I always feel safe in her class.
