Theresa Moodie
Yoga teacher and teacher trainer
I’m passionate about practicing the philosophy that a healthy mind is a healthy body. I offer a unique blend of holistic, mind body awareness which enables my students to make lifelong changes towards a healthier way of living. When I’m not working you’ll find me enjoying yoga classes in the park, practicing martial arts, learning to longboard and keeping fit.
I have worked in the health and wellness industry for many years. Starting out as a personal trainer I quickly came to realise that I wanted to combine several different movement modalities. Incorporating Yoga was the most natural progression.
The word Yoga comes from the sanskrit root word “Yuj” which means to bind, join, attach or yoke. Yoga is a practice that strives to link the mind and the body to function optimally.
The more I practice and teach Yoga, the more I realise it has come to be an umbrella that joins all the different modalities I have studied over the years. From Traditional Chinese medicine to principles of exercise science, Yoga really is the perfect framework to bring it all together.
I am available for Yoga workshops and Retreats – to see what I’ve been up to and for more information on upcoming retreats, read more on my blog.
My recent retreats have taken me all over the world:
- Corsica April/May 2016
- Mauritius July 2016
