Nana is a creative bird of paradise  who likes to Zumba with a penguin!

1. What is your favorite Yoga style and pose?
As a Gemini, I like to explore different physical movements at different pace and levels– ranging from general HIIT, to Ashtanga series, to Iyengar, to functional movements, to Tai Chi, to Pilates, to fascia flossing. To me, having variety is healthy – so I guess im just my own style? Lol. In terms of energetics and mindful practices, I embrace teachings from Taoism, Buddhism and Ayurveda.
At the moment, my pose is Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) using a sofa 😊

2. How did you get interested in Yoga?

3. If you could compare yourself to an animal, which would it be and why?
Hmm. I guess it would be some colourful birds of paradise? I like being creative – exploring through movement and painting, adventurous and free, and possessing sharp eyes

Louise is a busy bee who veges out on popcorn after looking for her next BFF (just bring her something exotic to fill her tummy).

1. What is your favorite Yoga style and pose?
I am eclectic & love to mix things up. I do not take myself too seriously, so try to keep it light on the mat & have fun every time I come to the mat.  In a pinch I would say vinyasa- go with the flow:-)
Favorite pose? Ooh that’s a tough one, let’s go with Crow. I always feel light & carefree in this pose (and each time I go into the pose I remember how amazingly kick-ass I felt the first time I actually nailed it).

2. How did you get interested in Yoga?
Needed to find my Zen – juggling family life & a busy corporate schedule was draining me out & messing with my mojo.

3. If you could compare yourself to an animal, which would it be and why?
Hummingbird – always busy & on the go – I can also eat half my body weight & drink eight times my body mass in liquid (so I have to keep busy or I’d blow up like a blowfish).

4. What do you like to do in your free time?
On a veg out, hide away from the world day – definitely eat copious amounts of popcorn & binge watch Netflix (or read a trashy romance novel) until my eyes bug out.

5. What is the funniest thing that happened to you recently?
I’m constantly doing silly things & making a bit of a tool of myself, so I’ve learnt to take it with a pinch of salt, roll with the punches & chillax (BREATHE).

6. What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
“Jamestown” – awesome period series, full of strong women, overcoming incredible odds to “make it work” while forging a strong sense of self.

7. What’s your favorite drink?
I am a teetotaler, with a propensity towards exciting tea blends (go figure). Hibiscus, peppermint & ginger/lemon are always staples in my tea caddy (no ceylon – far too bitter- herbal is the way to my tummy). Hit me up with something exotic & you’re my new BFF.

8. If a penguin wearing a sombrero walks through your front door, what does he say and why is he here?
Cricky, I’m terrible with jokes – I always mess up the punch line, here goes nothing:
Shuffle, shuffle, waddle, waddle, front door bangs open, penguin squeaks: “40 below outside, froze the freaking worm in my tequila – penguin salutations required STAT to heat things up”

Rona made a remarkable recovery, but a student claimed that books were a burden!

1. What is your favorite Yoga style and pose?
I enjoy a traditional vinyasa flow with variations according to my mood on the day. Favorite pose varies between lizard/pigeon or a headstand, depending on how balanced my day is feeling.

2. How did you get interested in Yoga?
I became very ill about 2yrs ago, after going through some traumatic life changes, and I wasn’t allowed to do any form of cardio exercises.

I would love to say a swan… But I am a true Taurus and some days I feel about as graceful as a bull on my yoga mat!

I love hiking in the mountains, long walks by the ocean, reading a really good book.

5. What is the funniest thing that happened to you recently?
I was teaching at a local Christian school. Checking homework books before my teens go home for the day. One 16yr old girl’s book was missing.. Called her over to ask what happened to her book.. Instant blank look, but smoke was coming out her ears, thinking of a quick excuse… Then… “Miss…. Miss, Jesus took it away from me cause it was a burden…” 🤣😂 Student – 100 ; Teacher – 0 !!!

6. What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
Down To Earth by Zac Effron. I loved the trailer and was totally hooked after watching only the intro of the 1st episode! Such a heart warming series, inspired to see celebrities walking into a deeper truth and caring so much about people and the environment.

A biiiiigggg cupacino!!
