Sylvie Waitumbi
My first experience of yoga was a hot yoga class that a friend took me to back in 2013 at at that time, my main form of exercise was going to the gym, weight lifting and HIIT. The experience I had made me realise just how amazing yoga can be to heal the body and the mind. In 2017, I started practicing Yoga as my main form of exercise and haven’t looked back since. What practicing yoga for me did was spark a massive interest in the Wellness space generally. This led me to start teaching yoga about 2 and a half years ago, and I have never looked back. My style of teaching includes: Vinyasa, Yin and power yoga. Teaching yoga has been the most fulfilling activity I have embarked on by virtue of the fact that I get to see the direct impact of the knowledge and experience I share with my clients. I believe in teaching yoga beyond the poses, allowing people to connect with their true selves in order to live a more fulfilling and authentic life and in turn it helps me to do the same. Adding on to my wellness endeavours, I started a yoga page on Instagram called Yoga with Sylvie and a podcast (Wellness with Sylvie- accessible on most platforms), where I talk about all things wellness with change makers and thought leaders. So take this journey with me where we use our body and breath to quiet and express our mind.
