Meet Cailey, one of our amazing Yoga Teachers. Cailey loves teaching yoga as she loves seeing her students leave happier and stronger than when they walked in! With this passion for making people’s lives better and bodies stronger, she has done so much research on the human body and how to maximise the benefits of strength, mobility & breath to increase the bodies longevity throughout life. We recently sat down with Cailey and asked her some questions about her upcoming workshop, keep reading to see what she had to say!
TIY: Tell us a bit about your Yoga & teaching journey!
C: I started teaching yoga over 10 years ago in Los Angeles and have never stopped learning. Since moving to Sydney, I have spent much of my free time running and ocean swimming. In order to sustain these activities and avoid injury, I needed to improve my body’s efficiency. The more I learn about how the body works, the more my practice, training and classes evolve. I now teach and practice in a way that promotes longevity and safety, while keeping the strength and challenge. My aim is to make bodies stronger so that they can continue to move and play for the rest of their life!
TIY: How did you become interested in functional movement and breathwork?
C: My mentor back home introduced me to Functional Range Conditioning and The Oxygen Advantage. Both modalities are outside of yoga, but take the practice to the next level. After experiencing immediate and long-term benefits from joint specific training and proper breathing, I wanted my students to experience them as well. I became a certified FRC Mobility Specialist through Dr Andreo Spina (founder of FRC) and a Functional Breathing Instructor through Patrick Mckeown (founder of The Oxygen Advantage). Adding mobility and functional breath to my yoga practice has been a game changer, and has also improved my running, swimming, sleep, focus, recovery and much more!
TIY: What can we expect from your upcoming workshop, Mobility & Breath?
C: Come to Mobility and Breath expecting to learn and apply the science behind these modalities both in and out of your yoga practice. We will work to maintain and increase useable ranges of motion and oxygen uptake. Learn how to create a stronger body from the inside out - maximising efficiency and mitigating injury. You will walk away with practical exercises that you can easily incorporate into your every day and a follow up email with everything we will cover in the workshop, including a video of the daily joint maintenance routine we will learn. I can’t wait to share it all with you!
TIY: How can we find you on social?
