Catherine Leong – Johannesburg based Vinyasa teacher

Catherine Leong – http://www.yogaventure.co.za

Catherine completed her vinyasa yoga teacher training in 2016 with Yoga Warrior. Catherine wanted to share her love for yoga in the most safe and effective way possible. She believes the mind is a powerful tool and being able to integrate that with a physical practice is key. Catherine will never stop learning. For her yoga is a modality that keeps her quite literally and figuratively on her toes.

You can expect dynamic, challenging yet playful sequencing in Catherine’s classes.

Lia Mundell – Johannesburg based Vinyasa Teacher

Lia Mundell – http://www.yoga-lova.com/pages/lia-mundell

“My little boy once asked me why I do yoga, and for a moment I couldn’t think of a straight answer.” says Lia. Initially Yoga was the one space she Lia felt blissfully alone yet surrounded by like-minded practitioners. Lia became a teacher because she wanted to do something that was so much bigger than herself. An opportunity to give something of what she had learned to others.

Born and bred a Jozi girl Lia, admits to being surrounded by the every day hullabaloo of the city. Being a single mom to a very busy and bubbly little boy and starting her own PR Company can both be demanding. Teaching yoga is a little sanctuary in her week. To connect and guide students through such a healing tradition.

Lia teaches with the utmost attention to form & detail, with absolute warmth and kindness.
