Genevieve St-Cyr

Genevieve is a French Canadian who came to Australia in 2009 and gave birth to her son Sebastian in November soon after her arrival. Before coming to Australia, she studied medicine for 6 years in Canada but decided she didn't want to practice this profession.  She travelled to India, Nepal and Thailand in 2002 where she discovered the joy of yoga, and fell in love with it. She moved to London in 2004 and started her daily yoga practice, very keen to discover the exciting world of yoga asana.  She never looked back!

Shortly after arriving to Australia, she realised that teaching yoga is what she wanted to do; she couldn’t imagine a more fulfilling work that would fit perfectly in her lifestyle. She is currently enrolled in the 2 year teacher training at Yogaphysio, now entering her second year of training.  Genevieve has a lot of energy and is very enthusiastic about sharing her passion for yoga. Her love of children has lead her to start teaching  a kids yoga class at Yogaphysio.  The children’s creativity and willingness to experiment still amazes her every time she teaches a class. She also is a valuable fill in teacher that helps out in this capacity from time to time.
