Carla

My love affair with yoga has lasted nearly 2 decades and it has helped me navigate the many twists and turns of life.

 

This multifaceted practice has so much to offer, a deeper connection with our breath, ourselves, each other and the world around us. These are tools for existence, tools for resilience. I aim to teach breath focused, inquisitive classes, encouraging exploration, to move comfortably and confidently. Moving with awareness.

I love slow and focused classes and my training in Yin and Trauma informed much of what I teach. For me Yoga is a practice of wellness, feeling well, breathing well and being well.

Bev

Bev grew up practicing yoga with her grandmother which was a key factor in making the decision to start teaching herself She has completed her 500 hour advanced training with Catherine Wilkinson and teaches strong and creative vinyasa flow, power vinyasa and hot 26

 

“I believe Yoga is the practice of discipline. Through this discipline our mind and body find synchronicity, our reality shifts and we are able to discover our true selves What we learn on our mats we take into our daily lives, and I believe makes us better at living positive lives.

 

I look forward to seeing you on your mat”.

Gabrielle

My love and fascination for yoga began when I was introduced to hatha yoga as a child.
Coming from a dance background it was no surprise that yoga would weave its way consistently throughout my life thereafter.


In my early 20s I found myself exploring the different disciplines of yoga and later on immersing myself deeply into vinyasa, Iyengar, and Ashtanga.

I decided to qualify as a teacher in 2019 to shift my practice onto another platform and share my passion with others.

In my classes, you can expect a slower, more disciplined attention to posture alignment, as we focus on opening and strengthening different parts of the body as well as utilizing elements of chanting to tie the entire experience together.

Kerry

Kerry has been practicing yoga for over 20 years after experiencing her first class in London and becoming totally hooked.

 

In 2019, Kerry completed her yoga TT at The Wellness Connection and then a 50 HR Yin Yoga TT in 2021. She began teaching shortly thereafter.

 

You can expect slow, mindful flows with a focus on breath, alignment, and not taking yourself too seriously! Kerry's classes are for everyone, and all levels are welcome.

Savanna

My name is Savanna Goldring, I would call myself an eternally curious student of life, a self-healer, and perhaps also a co-creator of held spaces. It's hard to tie up what has been a lifelong journey of learning, healing and becoming into a few sentences Bio.

 

But I guess the time I actively answered the call and chose to pursue the teachings of various wisdom philosophies like Yoga, Breath and Meditation was when I started practicing yoga 9 years ago, 7 of which I have been guiding practice as a yoga teacher (1st YTT at The Yoga Life CPT) and facilitating workshop & held space.

 

Yoga was my way of becoming alive in the body I live in & experience life through. This process of awakening to all of this information in my body, and in my senses has been the portal through which I have been able to unearth and process deep early life trauma. This world inside of myself that opened up to me via yoga sparked the new direction and deep meaning that my life would take on.

 

I went on to study Tantra Philosophy and Tantric Hatha Yoga in Bali, Indonesia at The Practice, then came home back to Cape Town to begin my studies in Kinesiology. Using the tools acquired from my studies and via my personal inner-work journey (Somatic’s, Breath-work, Guided group work, Meditation, Vocal activation) I have gone on to hold space in the form of workshops, facilitating the co-creation of safe spaces where people can connect to and listen to the sacred wisdom and information of their bodies and hearts as a way to start cultivating a more unconditional connection to themselves and develop personal tools for connection, healing, and growth.

Jess

Born in Belgium and raised in South Africa, I'm a traveler, teacher, and lifelong learner, now based in Cape Town. With a background in psychology and education, I thrive on meaningful connections with people. 

 

Yoga has been part of my life since 2012, leading me on a journey of self-love, self-acceptance, and curiosity. It’s more than just a practice on the mat—it’s a way of living, breathing, and being. 

To me, yoga is medicine for the mind, body, and soul. The magic lies in breathing, moving, and exploring life with mindfulness and awareness. Knowledge is learned, but wisdom is when that knowledge is fully embodied.
