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!
