  Independant yoga teacher

  I believe that yoga can be joyful, inclusive and accessible to everyone. I teach a creative Vinyasa yoga aimed at exploring asanas and meditation through movement. I like to make every asana accessible and encourage everyone to connect with their own body and develop their own practice.I like to teach playful classes where everyone can explore and go beyond their comfort zone in a safe way. What I love most about yoga is how it reminds me everyday that I know nothing, and encourages me to be a constant adventurer. Show less
