Karen

Karen

Instructor

“Yoga isn’t a practice contained to a mat, nor is it a practice available only to a certain group of people. It is a powerful tool for transformation and healing and should be available to everybody in the world.``

Karen's intention is to create an inclusive environment where students can move freely, feel good, have fun and experience the infinitude of possibilities within themselves. Yoga found Karen over 12 years ago and the practice immediately resonated. Since then, she has taken opportunities to learn from teachers around the world within various lineages. Her teaching is influenced by restorative, yin and hatha yoga. She believes that above all, humour is an essential ingredient in yoga (& life!) and that laughter is the best core exercise there is.

Karen guides her students with humility and compassion, ensuring a warm and comfortable environment for everyone who walks through her door.

Lex

Lex

Instructor

Lex found yoga at a point in her life where a lot of things were out of balance. She has been amazed how much this ancient practice has helped her to change; making her calmer, stronger, more focused and most importantly happy and content.

She is passionate about helping people to create space for themselves. To work on that internal connection that allows us to truly be present and connect with other people. Lex believes that it doesn’t matter what brings you to the mat, it is the fact that you have got there, and you are prepared to let yoga reveal itself to you that is important. Lex’s style of teaching works on building mental and physical strength. Creating space for each individual to work on internal connection with gratitude and compassion.
