INSTRUCTORS
Fern White-Andrews
(ERYT 500, YACEP)
Fern is an experienced and professionally qualified international yoga teacher. She teaches in a gentle, encouraging manner that inspires her students. Her passionate belief in yoga as a philosophy that enhances people’s connection and well-being is fundamental to her teaching. Fern has trained worldwide with renowned teachers in various styles of yoga, such as Hatha, Yin with Myofascial Release, Dynamic Spiral Yoga, and Kid’s Yoga.
Since 2016, Fern has deeply immersed herself in training and personal development in fascia and trauma-release theory and practice. This approach is profoundly integrated into her practices. It dovetails beautifully with mindfulness from both ancient Eastern practices and contemporary Western ones, which she delivers as an embodied system in her teaching.
Maria Magdalena Urbaniak
Magdalena is an accredited movement coach with over 15 years of teaching experience. Martial arts, dance, yoga, meditation, breathwork & sound therapy practitioner from the heart. Her journey with yoga began nearly 20 years ago when she severely injured her back. Yoga helped to heal the body and began a transformative journey within. Traveling through South East Asia has been a life-changing experience – from India, through Nepal, and finally landed in Thailand, where she’s been teaching for the past 5 years.
Magda aims to share modern science while respecting ancient teachings and traditions. Her knowledge of the body/mind/spirit connection gives a personalized insight into how to approach your body organism with care & compassion. Trauma-informed, Magda encourages a safe approach of allowing the body to guide us rather than forcing ourselves into something that doesn’t serve us.
