Berfu Gourlereler
Sit with Berfu a while and you will easily warm to her, a natural teacher who believes that teaching yoga is about offering a safe space where you can check in to your body and check out of the daily grind, all in the serene and supportive place of the studio.
She is profoundly motivated by creating moments of clarity and connection for you to experience in your weekly class, and loves a ‘Flow’ practise where the breath follows the body.
For Berfu, Yoga is a therapy that is non negotiable in her life, and its that passion that we love her for.
Catch her Walking and Reading, and hanging out in Norwich coffee spots.
