Irene Hodge
Hi, I'm Irene! An experienced yoga and meditation teacher fueled by a deep curiosity to delve into the marvels of the mind, body, and soul through the avenues of yoga, meditation, and philosophy. With over 12 years of experience teaching yoga and meditation, I have witnessed the transformative power of these practices firsthand, and I am eager to share my knowledge and passion with you!
In my classes, you can expect to experience a playful and joyful approach to yoga and meditation. I believe that these practices should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their level of experience or physical ability. With a focus on breath awareness, movement, and mindfulness, my classes aim to help you cultivate a deep sense of inner peace, relaxation, and connection to your true self.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, I invite you to come and join me on the mat. Together, we'll explore the many benefits of yoga and meditation, from improved flexibility and strength to reduced stress and anxiety. So take a deep breath, let go of any worries or distractions, and let's begin our journey towards greater health and happiness together!
