Adell Bridges says:

I’m obsessed with yoga, handstands, and optimal health. I geek out over anything that makes me a little bit happier, healthier, or more resilient than I was yesterday.

And if you have an interest in becoming a better you, then we’ll get along great. Because I love sharing my knowledge.

I’m a yoga teacher, an author, a blogger, and an advocate for staying curious always.

Daniel Cirilli, a personal coach.

Daniel explains: When I decided to embark on this path, I immediately wanted to aim for the best. This strong belief led me to move to Rishikesh, India, where I studied the practices that I now teach. For ten years I have been working on physical preparation, relaxation techniques, meditation (Yoga Nidra, Om Mantra, Candle Meditation, Transcending Meditation etc.) and prevention (Pranayama and Shat Kriya). I am a RYT 500-hours teacher (Yoga Alliance) in Italian and in English, and I teach Functional Training, Calisthenics, Yoga, and Personal Training. I have also trained international athletes. I believe as well that a good posture is crucial for a successful workout: for this reason, I collaborate with an osteopath, to ensure the best possible result for those who choose to train with me. Beyond techniques and work experience, what I like most is to establish a common path, a mutual and stimulating relationship of trust. I passionately believe that through an authentic human relationship, work can become more stimulating, creative, and effective.

Angela:

My main goal in life is to help adults get into the best shape of their life in body, mind and spirit. Life’s not about yo-yo diets, burning fat, building muscle or practicing yoga everyday (although I do recommend it), life is about finding your passion, doing what fuels you and most importantly, being healthy and happy. 

That looks like something different to everybody.

One thing I’ve learned is that everybody is on their own journey, and in the end, it’s a race against time, but it’s only with ourselves so be kind. Rather than compare or compete, what if just supported one another to be the best that we can be, what if we all just aligned?

Ellie grew up in New Jersey and trained in classical ballet at the New Jersey School of Ballet and North Carolina School of the Arts. She danced with the New Jersey Ballet in high school and continued her training at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music with Violette Verdy. Upon graduation, after much reflection and several injuries, she stepped away from dancing and attended graduate school at IU in Early Childhood Education. She taught kindergarten and preschool for several years before feeling the itch to return to the world of physical movement. In 2009 Ellie completed a 600 hour comprehensive pilates certification course. The following year she embarked on her yoga teacher training, eventually teaching yoga full time at Vibe Yoga Studio in Bloomington, IN and receiving her E-RYT 500. For the next several years Ellie taught public and private classes, workshops and segments of yoga teacher training. In 2016 she and her husband relocated to Washington DC where Ellie continued to teach yoga at Faith Hunter’s studio Embrace Yoga DC. She began taking open ballet classes for fun at Washington Ballet and almost immediately found herself immersed in paid projects including the first ever site specific performance at The Kennedy Center with Company E. She decided to pour herself fully back into the world of ballet and became a founding company and board member of Stuart Loungway’s Terra Firma Dance, a contemporary ballet company based in DC. In July 2020, Ellie and her husband welcomed their first child, Hank, into the world. Currently Ellie is focusing on writing, dancing, and attempting to sleep as much as possible.

I have been teaching yoga for over 8 years and I can honestly say, it has done so much for me personally and professionally. But two unexpected benefits came in the form of helping me with my anxiety, ADD and OCD, and how it connected me further with my daughter, Sage. Like a lot of folks out there, I wanted to become a yoga teacher because I knew I wanted to be involved in health & wellness (and well, you know, lift my bum a bit), but I quickly found that every time I met myself on the mat, my anxiety, ADD, and OCD were deeply impacted in the best way possible. While I used to self-medicate with alcohol to cope with my neuroses, (which ended in disastrous results in my personal life), when I found yoga, it was like breaking to the surface and finding that first gulp of sweet, fresh air. And what a difference 8 years has made.

Kirbanu is an Australian voice trainer, self-expression coach and musician based between Germany and Bali. In the last 7 years she has given over 600 concerts and voice workshops across Europe and Australia. Also released 3 albums, 4 EPs and 14 singles and have performed at over 20 festivals and conferences.

Kirbanu is a trainer for voice, bhakti and self-empowerment on specialist yoga teacher training programs as well as being a presentation and speech coach in the corporate sector.

But the road to expressing herself freely and using her voice with confidence, power and impact wasn’t straight. It took her 15 years to find the voice, overcome her inner critic, accept her unique sound and embrace both teaching and performing. 

What she learned about herself and her voice through the journey she went on and the challenges she faced, lead her to develop the unique, powerful and proven tools she is teaching you now.
