Adele Mulhall
Adele enjoys all dynamic forms of Yoga: Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Rocket and Power Yoga and are her preferred teaching styles. She attends many yoga classes for her personal practice. For Adele, yoga is escapism, with the added benefits of working on strength, flexibility and agility. She believes that it is time to go within without any outside thinking, just being present in that moment releasing anything that no longer serves.
Adele completed her 200 hr YTT and our 50 hr Adjustments Immersion with The Yoga Academy. Since then she has also completed her Yin Teacher Training to add contrast to her dynamic flows.
Adele teaches Sunday morning Ashtanga and Posture Labs.
