BREATHE YOGA CH
MEET THE TEAM
Kim Hayward-Senn
Hello! I am the creator of Breathe Yoga CH. After moving to Switzerland in 2015, leaving my stressful & wearing job as a nurse behind...I took my passion of practicing yoga to a whole new level by allowing my passion to become my life. I undertook my 200HR Yoga Alliance Hatha Teacher Training and I can honestly say I have never looked back.
Since qualifying as a yoga teacher I have enjoyed furthering my knowledge and teaching base with "Mark Stephens" in Yoga Therapy & Pregnancy Pre & Post Natal Yoga.
My personal practice derives from a mixture of Ashtanga, Hatha & Yin/Restorative practices from over the years which means I regularly draw on these to create a class suitable to any student.
Moving to St Gallen opened my eyes to the lack of English led yoga classes available here to ex-pats and those wishing to learn the language, which in turn led to me becoming the first teacher to offer English led yoga in the city!

As a 500HR Yoga Alliance Teacher, I have years of experience teaching yoga in London. I grow up in Devon, England & on my career path I started out studying for my Bachelor in Biology and went on to become a Secondary School Science Teacher. I have always found the mind body connection fascinating.
My initial teacher training was undertaken in London under two master Baptiste teachers Claire Este-Macdonald & Gregor Singleton. I have since trained in pregnancy yoga with Uma Dinsmore & I have since completed my 500HR Teacher training with Live, Love, Teach co-founders Phillip Urso & Stacey Dockins.
My classes are physical with a focus on syncronising breath & movement. This allows for a state of flow in the mind and body. I aim to teach a gentle but powerful class where as the teacher , I do not get in the way of the teachings.
