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.
