The Founder of Cactus Yogis
Hi, I’m Adele (Del) founder of Cactus Yogis.
Firstly, thank you for taking the time for your self-care.
I started practicing yoga in 2009 through desperation to support a physical and mental crisis.
Yoga offered me a space to stop and feel into my body.
It was a gateway for my anxious mind to find freedom and peace.
During a career of over two decades in Youth Work and Family Support, I enrolled in a 300 hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Course.
What this course offered me was greater than the qualification.
It highlighted my burnout and that I had transitioned away from my essential self. So I got brave and trusted what I felt in my body. I handed in my notice and Cactus Yogis was born.
Cactus Yogis was founded in 2022 and I opened the Cactus Studio in 2023 to help others find the same peace of mind that yoga has given me.
I love to learn and bring even more value to this community, so I’ve since trained in Trauma Informed Restorative Yoga gained a Certification in Trauma Informed Practices and completed Mindfulness and Compassion Meditation Teacher Training and ICF approved Life Coaching.
I also have degrees in Youth Work and Fine Art.
And I’m not done yet! I’m currently studying for a Diploma in Astrology and Counseling Skills.
I’m a creative soul with a passion for the arts. I’m a true Sagittarius and love to travel and go on an adventure.
