Bhavna
Hatha Yoga Teacher
Bhavna was introduced to Yoga from a young age, later finding the physical aspect of Yoga in her late teens. She began teaching at Bahia Yoga in 2018. Her classes are taught in a slow and steady, classical Hatha style, taking influence from her practice. Bhavna’s intention behind teaching is to create a safe space for students to come and practice without judgment or pressure. Teaching students to learn how to pace themselves and listen to their bodies; connecting more with their breath and inner self, noticing a sense of release as well as uplifting, and grounding energy. She loves all aspects of Yoga, from chanting, breathwork, meditation to the asana practice. Her classes involve precisely all of those. Allowing you to feel the vibrations of chanting, the release and movement of energy through asana practice, the stillness and connection through meditation, and the feeling of vitality through pranayama.
