Her yoga approach
She considers her yoga mat her sacred island and every time she steps on the mat she arrives back home. Her teaching is soft and layered but powerful. Topics she often returns to are moon cycles and life transitions, the innate female strength and intuition, gratitude practices, and how to easily take yoga off the mat and into your life.
Education
When not on the yoga mat, Theresa loves spending time in nature with her husband and 4-year-old daughter. She also loves traveling, resetting by and in the water, learning (the forever student!) and reading about yoga, health and creativity, as well as diving deep into her design projects.
Her yoga approach
Her teaching journey started with studio classes in hatha, yin and vinyasa yoga, as well as corporate yoga classes. Then came a long fertility journey, a difficult pregnancy and a traumatic birth experience, which all helped her find her path to helping women navigate the big and small transitions in life, all through yoga. Currently, Claudia teaches studio classes and privates.
Yoga gives her energy and stillness, and her mat is where she always comes home. Her personal practice follows the moon and her cycles, making every session on her mat different from the previous one.
Education
Claudia has also completed different courses on the pelvic floor, trauma and grief. She’s also a holistic health coach and Reiki practitioner.
Claudia loves exploring Norway with her husband + 3-year old son, eating raw cake, travelling, and reading, reading, reading.

Abigail found yoga in 2005 when a dance teacher suggested she take a yoga class to destress from working on her PhD. From her first class, she knew she had discovered something very special and vowed that one day she would train to be a yoga teacher.
Her yoga approach

She uses vinyasa, yin, and moving meditations to cultivate a balance between strength and flexibility, both physically and mentally. Her classes are interwoven with philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda, and Chinese Medicine, and students can expect to find a calmer mind, a deeper breath, and a strengthened connection with their higher selves.
Education
Abigail has a PhD in geophysics, and her love of science translates to
a deep-rooted interest in the physics of yoga. She has a passion for
anatomy and alignment, and her background in dance brings a
