These have complemented her recent passion for all things Yoga and especially Hotpod Yoga which she started to practice with avid determination. After completing the 200h Teacher Training, the HPY course was, in her words:

“An amazing, eye-opening experience. The training really allowed me to dig deep into the ‘self’ and I was mesmerised by the teachings of Yoga Philosophy.”

Her intention is to create a calm and nurturing atmosphere where students feel completely comfortable to turn their focus inward while practising Yoga. She truly wishes that during your practice you will feel physical and mental benefits and develop expressions of heartfelt emotions that HPY can bring.

Chade

I discovered yoga when I was 15 years old, and I instantly fell in love with everything about it. The practice of yoga became a part of me and allowed me to find myself in ways that I never knew existed.

In 2018, I completed my first 200hr teacher training so that I could not only deepen my own connection to yoga, but so that I could share this holistic practice with others too. I teach a dynamic vinyasa class that embodies the union of the mind, body and breath. My classes allow for individual discovery and creativity as we move through strong and playful asanas while integrating mindfulness of the breath and the self.

My intention is to share as much of my light, love and knowledge with you, so that you can continue expanding into the most authentic version of yourself. I can’t wait to share your Yoga Journey with you.
