Facilitators

Chandni Gudka

Devoted to continuously learning and exploring the fundamentals of integrative health & well-being. Chandni's passions lie in food energetics and the conscious-living principles rooted in Ayurveda. When used correctly, these hold the power to not only heal the body, but also help us thrive through the ever-changing dynamics of day-to-day life. As a qualified Integrative Nutrition & Health Coach, Ayurvedic Chef, and a background in Sport & Exercise Science, Chandni’s approach is naturally holistic. Her intention is to help individuals become more intuitive and conscious about what and how they eat. Helping them build a deeper connection with themselves and ultimately understanding the language of the body; what it is that the body is calling out for as we shift through the various seasons and cycles of our lives.

Sean Robinson

Originally advised to try yoga in 2014 to manage stress and heal from BMX-related injuries, Sean found a sense of stillness and challenge that resonated with him. He's been teaching in India, Sri Lanka, and Hong Kong, with a focus on Ashtanga and Rocket Yoga. Drawing on his background as a Speech and Language Pathologist, Sean emphasises effective communication in his classes, deconstructing complex poses and empowering students to advance their practice through understanding the rationale behind techniques and poses.
