Bronwen crafts tailored content for a diverse community of movement enthusiasts, including yogis, dancers, pole and aerial artists, and anyone seeking to refine their technical artistry. She offers both virtual and in-studio classes for recreational to pre- and semi-professional movers.
With a lifelong dedication to movement, Bronwen has spent decades exploring a range of physical disciplines. She transitioned to full-time teaching in 2008 and has since developed a multidisciplinary approach that draws from yoga, mobility training, somatics, and strength-based practices. Her work emphasizes technical clarity, adaptability, and long-term physical capability.
With a lifelong dedication to movement, Bronwen has been immersed in various physical arts for decades. A competitive dancer from age six and a youth company member by ten, she later performed professionally in ballet, cabaret, and commercial productions before shifting to full-time teaching in 2008. (Dance CV available upon request.)
In 2008, Bronwen relocated to Buenos Aires, initially drawn to tango but ultimately immersing herself in yoga. After completing a 500 RYT program before leaving Canada, she studied Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate Series with Buenos Aires-based instructor Andrea Martinez and visiting renowned Italian Ashtangi Lino Miele. A year later, she moved to Oslo, where she attended daily Mysore classes with Alexander Medin and Basia Lipska. During this time, she also trained with Dominique Corigliano (Ashtanga), Vijaya Kumar (Sanskrit & Ashtanga), Edward Clarke (Tripsichore Yoga), and Dr. Ganesh Mohan (Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda). While living in Oslo, she travelled to complete a series of Primary and Intermediate Series teacher trainings with Manju Jois in Crete, Greece, and Bologna, Italy. Bronwen began teaching yoga in Oslo in 2010 and later assisted Basia Lipska during her retreat at Purple Valley Yoga in Goa, India.
Returning to Canada in 2011, she reconnected with dance. In 2013, she founded Studio 253, offering Mysore yoga and dance programs for youth and adults. During this period, she expanded her training to include Franklin Method, Ido Portal, Gymnastic Bodies, Pilates, hand balancing with Yuri Marmerstein, and contortion with Catie Brier (San Francisco).
Bronwen continued traveling and offering workshops internationally, guest-teaching in Oslo, Dublin, San Flaviano, Rome, and Tulum since 2016.
In 2018, she returned to Vancouver, where she began teaching flexibility, hand balancing, acro floorwork and barre classes. She also expanded certifications to include Pole and Lyra. During the pandemic, she created pre-recorded content for Skillwell, which remains available.
On February 22, 2024, she launched her Members Only platform, featuring on-demand videos, livestream classes, and progressive programs for dancers, pole/aerial artists, and other adult movers.
Bronwen currently divides her time between Vancouver and Kelowna, B.C., Canada, and is available for private bookings in both locations.
