1. Describe
your health approach in three words.
Alkaline, fresh
and yoga.
2. How did you
gain your ‘health nut’ status?
Yoga. Once I started practicing yoga
every day my body didn’t want unhealthy food or alcohol. I craved fresh fruit
and vegetables and had joy in being healthy and active every day.
3. What is the
most over used ingredient in your kitchen?
Coconut oil
or kale
4. What have
been the greatest challenges for you in your quest for total health?
At the moment it’s trying to balance owning two businesses
and teaching yoga every day and then being a 23 year old at the same time! I
still drink alcohol and go out and have a good time. But it’s very hard for me
at times because a part of me doesn’t enjoy that at all anymore. I would rather
wake up at 5:30 and start my day from here healthy rather than wake up hung
over and try to juggle all your jobs you have to do. I’m managing though… I
will find the balance.
5. Who are your
greatest influences and inspirations?
My grandfather,
Poppy. He died nearly a year ago now. He was my biggest fan and I was his. He
would call a spade a spade, no bullshit, enjoy life and don’t fool yourself.
The rules I now live by.
6. What has
been your most radical change?
I did acting for 5 years after school, I was completely set
on it. Then in LA, where I actually went to pursue acting again, I met Steve
and did my first Hip Hop yoga class and that was a real turning point for me. I
knew that was it for me, I quit acting the next day and did 1 if not 2 yoga
classes a day with Steve until my visa ran out.
7. Recipe for
success?
Believe in your self, don’t take
anything personally, don’t be afraid to fail but know that it can happen and
LOVE what you do otherwise no one else will.
8. Describe
your perfect day.
Wake up early, teach yoga, go to the
market buy lots of fresh fruit and smoothie ingredients, go home eat them all,
have a sleep, walk my dog Tilly, do some work, take a yoga class, go out for
dinner. I love going out for dinner and dressing up! I am forever in yoga
pants :)
9. What are
your words to live by?
Everything happens, whether for a reason or not. YOU can
only make yourself happy. Everything is going to be okay, maybe not today but
eventually.
10. Message for
the wannabe wellies?
Everything in moderation, if you like chocolate eat
chocolate! The guilt of eating chocolate is way worse for you than the actual
chocolate its self. So don’t worry so much about everything. Keep your diet
fresh, do yoga every day if you can. I believe starting out with Yoga before
diet, then everything will naturally follow.
