I'm a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to creativity - I used to sing opera, studied printmaking and have exhibited my work, and am a qualified Nāda yoga teacher. In my 60+ years on this planet, I've explored various careers and hobbies. I've gone from financial services to opera, back to financial services, and mixed in printmaking along the way. And for the past five years, I've also been delving into Nāda (Sound) Yoga.

Printmaking has always been a passion of mine, sparked by my mum who was an art and music teacher. There were so many childhood weekends spent painting and crafting with her, which set the foundation and an interest in creativity. She gave me a book on printmaking for my 21st birthday, and it took me about another twenty years to realise that printmaking was the perfect fit for me. I spent five years taking classes at The Pine Street Creative Art Centre and The National Art School. Over the years, I've participated in many group shows and had solo exhibitions at places like The Newsagency Gallery, The Global Gallery, and the Arthouse Wyong. I work mostly in a technique called collagraph. I like it because it doesn’t involve using any chemicals. I recently started working with wood block and hope to develop my practice to included Japanese Mokuhanga.

Nāda (Sound) Yoga - Ever since the early 1990s, when the soprano singing opposite me in a production of Humperdinck's "Königskinder" introduced me to the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Zentrum in Munich, I have embraced Hatha Yoga as a means to enhance my strength, balance, and overall body awareness. It was through my Hatha Yoga practice that I naturally gravitated towards Nāda yoga, also known as the yoga of sound, which seemed like a perfect fit for an opera-singing yogi like myself.

To expand my understanding, I enrolled in Nāda yoga teacher training conducted by the talented Anandra George, founder of the Heart of Sound school.

Through this experience, I was introduced to a profound science that equipped me with techniques to enhance my mental health and overall well-being through sound. I’m ready to pass on the transformative practice of sound yoga to others. By sharing my personal journey, my goal is to demystify the discipline and make it accessible to a wider audience. Through this outreach, I aim to enable more individuals to experience the profound benefits of sound yoga, leading them towards a healthier, happier, and more harmonious life.

I have chosen to share my creative practice and passions through my YouTube channel. There’s been a lot to learn… filming, recording, editing… it’s taking me a while to get organised, but I am almost ready to post videos. Take a look periodically or if you could like my FaceBook Page… I’ll make an announcement there soon. :-)

Wishing you all the best and I look forward to your future visits.

Stay well, George
