FloYo Goes Down Under!

10 years ago, almost to the day, I made a promise to myself to return to Australia by the time I was 30. I not only wanted to return but I wanted to come back and live here.

You see, I had been studying abroad at Sydney Uni for 6 months and there was something about the culture, lifestyle and attitude that I experienced in Australia that made me realize that THIS was the way I wanted to live my life. I did not know in what capacity I would return, but now 10 years later I know.

Tomorrow I head back to Sydney to lead a FloYo Teacher Training and to teach several FloYo Workshops and classes. I do not know what the future will hold, but I am open to the possibility of bringing FloYo to Australia in a much bigger way. If you are interested in getting FloYo Certified and joining our FloYo Family teaching our branded SUP Yoga classes, see a list of all of our certifications here!

Let the adventure begin…

I will be sharing my travels and adventures with you via Instagram and Facebook. Be sure to follow along!
