Yoga was introduced to me 20 years ago and it has been a part of my life ever since, I have been teaching for 6 years, qualified to teach Hatha, Tantra and Raja Yoga.

I’m a busy mummy of two young children and enjoy a lifestyle of natural living and holistic wellbeing. I love the outdoors, good food, dancing, socialising, old Volkswagens and snowboarding!

I also run a business, Dubholistic, Beauty and Wellbeing. Healing the body, inside and out. Dubholistic provides natural products and wellbeing services to our customers, helping individuals to be their best self.

RISE ACADEMY DIRECTOR

I first discovered Yoga as a dance student and initially attended Yoga as a way to inform and strengthen my body as a dancer. It wasn’t until I was a busy, young working Mum craving space that my practice started to evolve and a deeper sense of self and consciousness came to awareness on the mat.

Through physical asana and spiritual teachings I found that my yoga practice began to be a place of internal sanctuary; providing space to look within and observe what’s already there, enabling not only more space in both body and mind, but also a place to move towards becoming a more conscious, calm and considered human being.

Eventually, I decided to embark on a yoga teacher training and trained with Authentic Flow Tribe with Satu Tuomela and Fanny Olsson in Authentic Flow tantra Yoga (200 hours) and Shake the Dust (50 hours), Embodied Tantra Yin (50 hours) and Mandala Yoga (50 hours).

Alongside teaching Yoga, I am a Dance Artist and Movement Therapist/Coach. You can find more about me at www.jennyrochemovement.co.uk
