She is fascinated by the bodymind connection and teaches vinyasa, restorative yoga and meditation. It’s through harmony that she believes the return to the true self and center is possible. Her teaching philosophy is mainly based on cultivating love and kindness, to develop self-awareness to keep on transforming and evolving positively.
Lally loves to empower individuals to keep on growing personally and spiritually, to follow their hearts and to apply the yoga tools and qualities on and off the mat.
The founder of UMI SURF YOGA Cristina Irisarri is a yogini and free surfer which is been surfing since she was a child.
