Cecilia Ballan

I wear many hats: scientist, researcher, writer, editor, science communicator, behaviour change specialist, yogi, sewist, knitter and aspiring poet. Sometimes I combine all my passions successfully. Sometimes I make a mess. But that’s life!

I have a PhD in Immunology and an MSc in Science Communication. Somewhere in the midst of that I discovered yoga and, what a cliche, my life changed forever.

My classes are fun and relaxed, and offer space for students to do what they need to feel good in their bodies and minds. Ultimately, my ambition is to empower students with tools that help them feel more actively involved in their health and wellbeing. 

As an eternal student with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, I love attending trainings and expanding my skill set. Since my first 200hr training in Hatha & Vinyasa flow, I’ve trained in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, pranayama, meditation and Rocket Yoga, with some wonderful teachers who continue to inspire me. 

I hope to see you on the mat! If you are interested in how yoga affects our health and wellbeing (and the science behind how it all works), check out my blog at geeky.yoga .
