Gila Yoga
Hello, my name is Libby (aka Dia Gila) ~ ((if you haven't caught on to that already!))
Long-time lover of yoga and the healing arts, I create themed and intention-based sequences to bring a little magick to the mat.
Flow with me on the yogic path! Expect to embody Tarot cards and myths told through deep, slow movement, followed by an extra-luxurious savasana.
Fun fact: I am also a practicing artist / writer who left university with a BA specialising in Indigenous Modern Art History and Ancient Greek Tomb Art!
