Twee teaches globally as a recognized teacher and trainer of prana flow, an empowering, transformational, and evolutionary-edge style of vinyasaflow yoga. her calendar of international yoga activist + adventure retreats, teacher trainings, and master classes evolved from her original studies of hatha, tantra + ayurveda and her on-going studies with her teacher, shiva rea.

twee’s unique teaching style encourages students to explore the infinite intelligence of prana (life energy), to listen to their inner teacher, and to respond and move from their own center of truth. through this empowering and transformative process of placing the body temple in a sacred way, body mudras unfold within our sacred practice, as we no longer do yoga, but rather we are yoga.

as students of flow, we know that every action from within has a rippling effect without. by first realizing, then embodying our unique connection to prana, we transform our yoga practice from self-service to selflessly serving others. we become empowered to live as one wave, in respect, and in union with the ocean of waves surrounding us, as one collective consciousness. is...amazing
