Lucinda
Lucinda discovered yoga in 2015 as a sanctuary to help cope with burnout and mental health challenges and discovered so much more about life through the philosophical learnings and deeper understandings of her teachers.
After completing her 200hr YTT in Australia in 2017, Lucinda furthered her studies in Kids Yoga, Pre/Postnatal and Fascial Bodywork which expanded her passion and curiosity for how we can improve our relationship with our body.
Lucinda has co-facilitated teacher trainings, retreats and immersions creating space for students to embrace a ‘soft but strong’ approach to their practice and daily life.
Intertwining her knowledge from a university degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology, Lucinda loves to teach anatomy from a place of enquiry and wonder, encouraging the way we move on and off our mat to come from an intentional and embodied practice.
MICHAEL HENRI (RYT 500, MPty, BHK)
is a highly experienced Physiotherapist from Canada who has worked in public and private practices, hospitals, and orthopedic clinics all over the world. Having dealt with some of the most common and complex injuries, he’s broadly trained and tremendously knowledgeable.
Michael received his 200 HR Yoga certification under Paul Teodo and Byron de Marsé in 2020. Upon completion, he immediately started working (and teaching) alongside his mentors and integrated functional anatomy into their curriculum to support new yoga teachers in teaching safely and effectively.
Michael is committed to delivering the practice of yoga in such a way that alignment, cueing and sequencing makes sense and can be more easily remembered and understood.
Michael’s teaching style is simple, useful, and to the point. By leaving out the unnecessary, he teaches students exactly what they need to know. This applies to both his yoga mobility classes and anatomy courses.

Teacher Training Testimonials
I just finished my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Ubud Yoga House, which is located in the middle of a beautiful, quiet rice field. This is a small boutique studio that offers teacher training with a very small group of students, setting it apart from the bigger commercial yoga schools that run large trainings every month. Sheila, the owner of Ubud Yoga House, taught us yoga philosophy, meditation, and other topics drawn from her own life experiences. She also customizes the classes and daily journal prompts to meet her students where they are in life, which made everything feel so personal.
Because of the small class size, we got a lot of individual attention from each teacher and had the space to ask as many questions as we needed. All the teachers we had were really great—knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate. They brought their own unique perspectives to the training, which made the learning process feel rich and well-rounded. We didn’t just learn how to teach correct asanas, adjustments, and cues, or the basics of yoga anatomy- we also learned how we can apply this ancient yoga philosophy into our lives in ways that lead to self-realization.
Our group was made up of seven women from all over the world, and I loved how we supported each other. We were all at different stages of life, different ages, different cultures and with different stories, but it felt like we were on this journey together, lifting each other up every step of the way.
I’m so happy I chose Ubud Yoga House for my training, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly personalized experience.
