Hi, I am Flora!
I am a writer and yoga teacher. I was trained in Integral Transformational Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga and I have a background in Psychology.
Change Your Mind
Hi, I’m Flora!
When I was 17 and struggling through the aftermath of a sexual assault, I found yoga, or yoga found me.
On the mat, I moved, breathed, and cried. A lot. (Fucking pigeon pose, seriously.)
I promised that – one day, when I was ready – I would share this magic with others.
Between studying psychology and being super neurodivergent, I decided I wanted to do things differently.
To create a space where everybody is welcome, where we try to keep your attention and where we can be honest.
(We might also curse a bit.)
Fast forward to today:
I am 26 and I have been teaching for about five years. My students have been a whole new level of learning for me, and the practice evolves by the day. (I am also a writer. If that’s why you’re here, you should probably check out the blog or my copywriting portfolio.)
What I do
Right now, I am mostly teaching workshops that help you get out of your head, into your body, and sometimes into a fit of giggles. I also write about mental health and neurodiversity.
Why Change Your Mind?
Change Your Mind with Flora was born in August 2020, out of a desire to combine my background in yoga, psychology, writing, teaching, and music.
(Big shout-out to those of you who have been here since the early days. I appreciate you more than you know.)
At the time, I was obsessed with the concept of neuroplasticity (hence the mind-changing).
Also, given the ADHD, I was pretty sure I’d change the concept of my business more than a few times, so I wanted the name to give me the space to, y’know, change my mind.
It did, and I did, and it was great.
What now?
Good question!
There are a few things you can do from here:
- Check out the blog (where we talk about neurodivergence and being your own comfort zone)
- Here is my Instagram, if you just want to hang out and connect
- If you want to host a yoga workshop at your startup/workplace/school/event, you can reach out to me at flora.change.your.mind@gmail.com
For now, let’s just take a deep breath, yeah?
I hope you’re having a good day!
Love,
Flora
