Theodora is qualified in Hatha Yoga, and teaches an intuitive style that helps release tension from the body on a deep cellular level with the use of sounds and affirmations.

She is a former international athlete who discovered the powerful healing benefits of yoga whilst at a breaking point in her career and life. With the guidance and help of her teacher, yoga not only helped her get back to competing at high levels, but also helped her gain a new perspective on the interwoven relationship of health, with the mind, body and soul.

After over 10 years of being in the fitness and athletic world where pushing the body physically to it’s limits was life, Theodora now enjoys a more holistic approach to all aspects of life and aims to share that knowledge and experience with others.

When not in yoga pants, Theodora also works as an energy healer, holistic therapist, and also running her workshops.  A lover of travels, sunshine, vegan desserts, and positive vibes, she looks forward to seeing you on the mat ready to Xtend and let go.
