Bird is founded by multidisciplinary artist and 500+ RYT yoga teacher Simone Engelen. She has been traveling and teaching since 2014 in remote areas all over the world. On her own path of yoga and through recovery from addiction, she’s gained knowledge from various teachings like The Functional Approach to Yoga as developed by Paul and Suzee Grilley, and The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery [Y12SR], as developed by Nikki Myers.

Simone teaches from the heart, putting great emphasis on each unique student and their continuing growth.
