Chris Mustard
Chris has been practicing yoga for 15 years. “I came to yoga for the relaxation, healing, invigoration and spiritual contact it brings. My first Yoga teacher training was on the science of the Chakras, with the Valhalla Yoga Center in Victoria. I was drawn to Eoin and his classes because of the amazing sense of community I got while in his class. After taking the Yoga teacher training program with him, I feel even more a part of that community. Staying active and connected to nature refuels our spirits and keeps us young forever.”
