ALICE SIU
Journey to the BARRE
Alice first stepped onto the yoga mat in 2009 and fell in love with the yoga practice.
She realised she was very flexible but lacked strength. That was when she started to do
circuit training and crossfit to build strength. In 2014 she took a 200-hour Power Vinyasa and Mindfulness Yoga Teacher Training to learn not only the physical practice, but also the mental and spiritual side of yoga.
Alice has been teaching yoga part-time since 2014 and continuously seeks further personal
development in the yoga practice. She continues teacher training in yoga therapy,
kids yoga, Dharma wheel yoga, and advanced hatha yoga. Along the way, Alice found barre and fell in love with the technique and core exercises!

provides different options ensuring everyone develops a “can-do” or “self-challenge”
attitude!
Besides BARRE
Alice realised her HEALTH improved over the years by practising yoga. Hence, she is
committed to her daily early morning yoga practice which has INSPIRED a lot of
her friends. Adding barre to her workout she finds not only FUN, but also further
