Adele wants to live in an awake world where everyone’s default state is wellbeing, and dancing in the streets is highly encouraged if not mandatory.

With her passion for movement Adele’s first love was dance – everything from ballet to hip hop – and she was a dance teacher for many years. It wasn’t until Adele experienced a life altering blow of colon cancer at the age of 25 and given a 30% chance of survival that she explored yoga, first as a way to manage pain, and then to rebuild and regain strength. Since returning to full health she has made yoga a regular part of her life and feels better than ever for it.  In yoga Adele found the same challenge and fun she had in dance, and so much more. She befriended her body, overcame fears around her illness and found a way to live fully, with grace, gratitude and an open heart.

As a yoga teacher, Adele is sought after for her breadth of knowledge, empowering approach and attention to alignment – be it physical, mental and emotional. She is a master at helping students unwind unhelpful habits, patterning, tension and thoughts and in the process guiding them to uncover the best version of themselves.

In additional to her wellness journey, Adele spent 11 years working in public relations across large multi-nationals, investment banks, government and the third sector. She knows first hand what stress and imbalance does to our bodies and has developed a great toolkit to help students find a greater sense of ease, calm and flow in their life.

Adele’s yoga training includes Embodied Flow, Anusara, vinyasa flow, power yoga and pregnancy yoga. Her classes are influenced by her teachers Tiffany Cruikshank, Tara Judelle, Katie Lane and Noah Maze.

When she’s not on the mat she’s finding her yoga on the snow, in the water, or basking in the sunshine on her deck with a good book. You can find her cooking up a storm, walking her dog on the beach, and when her schedule allows, exploring many an intrepid destination.
