BECCA
STUDIO MANAGER

After studying Yoga Teaching at the Yoga Institute, and graduating in Medical Science (BSc) at The University of Technology Sydney, Becca's style of yoga incorporates Western science with Eastern wisdom. Her classes, however, capture the fun in fitness, as you cannot take anything too seriously! Following the lineage of T. Krishnamacharya, Becca invites you to join a breath centred vinyasa yoga practice that will increase your flexibility, strengthen your core, and challenge your balance, regardless of your level and experience. Becca is also a certified Fly Gym instructor, and incorporates her extensive yoga knowledge into her Aerial Yoga classes. You can expect a focus on using the breath to deepen and stabilise your aerial postures, which are taken from traditional yoga asanas (postures)!
