Celest Pereira Celest is deep down (or maybe not so deep) a Geek that loves anatomy and biomechanics. She miraculously acquired her BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy in 2009, despite dropping out of school at 16. The bonus of this, is that she knows how to explain complex concepts and make them easy to grasp and digestible. After a workshop with her, you'll know so much more than just your ass from your elbow: ) Her biggest passion is movement, and has been since she was little, but she strongly believes life is too short not to have fun along the way. So although her yoga sessions will challenge you, they will also be a chance to make new friends, laugh and relax. Still, you should bring a towel. Adell Bridges Adell's childhood was spent training and competing as a gymnast, where even then she was referred to as a "more elegant than powerful" gymnast. Bendy rather than strong was how she would always describe her movement abilities. At age 19, Adell moved to Wales where she studied in psychology and later received a master's degree in creative writing. Like many graduates, Adell spent several years bouncing from job to job and feeling generally unfulfilled and uncertain of her purpose. When she discovered yoga at age 28, everything changed. Taking her foundation teacher training near Dharamsala, India, Adell went on to travel to over 30 countries, teaching and sharing her love of yoga, and continuing to train and learn about anatomy and biomechanics, a subject for which she feels an unquenchable thirst. Adell says her job isn't to tell others what to do, but to educate others so they know what to do themselves. Her vision behind everything that she shares is to encourage deeper understanding of the self. She believes that by encouraging each individual to understand their own unique experience of movement, breathing, and living in general, the student becomes their own teacher. See less
