The founder of Yoga4Lyf, Effie Karadjian, a mother of three, began her journey on the yogic path 8 years ago in a pre-natal yoga class and hasn't looked back since. A certified Hatha instructor, she completed her teacher training at the Yoga Sanctuary and continues to enrich her practice with guidance from Ron Reid. Noticing the transformational qualities of yoga within herself led her to open Yoga4Lyf to share the joys and benefits of yoga with her community. She encourages her students to honour their bodies and tries to tailor each class to the students' abilities.
