“I’ve long wanted to be a yoga person, first experimenting with studio classes in Austin 12 years ago. Many geographies since, most of which didn’t have a studio within proximity, I found myself living in Sausalito where I began taking classes at Cloudbreak. While I’d taken classes with a spectrum of teachers around the world, I never found the teacher that anchored me into practice until Phina. I felt at home in her class, which was unlike any I’d ever taken: an intense workout that always feels poetic, thoughtfully choreographed with impeccable soundtracks, and new routines every few weeks. Once I fell into the spell of Phina’s classes, I realized that part of my disconnect prior was the repetition I often felt in other settings. I tire of endless sun salutations or the same routine each week; Phina’s classes incorporate a range of postures that feel rhythmic, varied, and unique. Even after moving an hour from the studio, I prioritized her class twice a week, committing to 2 hours of driving each time — for 3 years. Now I live closer to two studios she teaches at and am over the moon to be in such proximity. I love her energy, the energy of her classes, and the special way in which we move together — and I would happily travel great distances to practice with Phina.”

“Phina’s classes changed my life. I was having a hard time getting back into my body after having a baby, and while I had never felt yoga was for me, I signed up for her class. It was (and continues to be) transformative, grounding, motivating, and sanity-giving. Phina has such INCREDIBLE intuition in her flows– somehow she knows exactly how your body wants to move. Each transition feels deeply natural and like a dance. Every aspect of Phina’s class– the flow itself, the music, her presence and guidance– is such a gift.”

“Phi really invigorated and transformed my practice. She always puts together such a thoughtful, beautiful flow that often builds on a sequence she’s taught. My transitions are more beautiful, my core is stronger, and I’ve started receiving compliments on my practice from things I’ve picked up from her. Phi’s class is always the right amount of fresh, and familiar, challenging and restorative, and most importantly, fun! Her class is truly a unique experience, I have practiced all over the world and I have yet to find another teacher like her!”

“I’ve been practicing with Phina for over two years now, and I’m so grateful for having started with her. Her sequences are both challenging and deeply restorative, yet gentle on the body, always leaving me feeling more alive and connected to both mind and body. She brings such a warm, welcoming energy to every class, and plays the best music! Whether you’re new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, Phina’s classes offer something special. I truly can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ve taken hundreds of classes from Phina over several years and I always come back for more! I love her crystal clear instruction, her constant flow, her strength and toning combined with grace. It’s always a full body workout with great music - you really earn your shavasana with Phina.”

“Phina’s classes are a wonderful combination of intensity and grace. Her sequencing is thoughtful and intelligent. Her clear and concise communication allows students to fully explore their asana while staying safe in their bodies. Always a top notch playlist too! ”

“Phina is amazing! She has a unique style that combines yoga with dance and strength with grace, creating a beautiful flow. I love the energy, the sequencing and the music, I love her class!”

“Phina’s classes are absolutely transformative. She creates an incredibly thoughtful flow that is the best combination of challenging, meditative and creative. She curates fun playlists that make her classes feel like a graceful dance and I always leave feeling so energized and strong. Her sequences blend strength and core work into a flow of beautiful transitions and poses with just the right amount of repetition that all make perfect sense in the body. I have really valued having the opportunity to practice with her guidance. She has inspired me to stick with my yoga practice and keep coming back. I can always count on her classes to be exactly what I need and I will rearrange my schedule if needed to be able to flow with Phina at least once a week!”

“Phina’s class at first really helped me open my heart chakra. She improved my agility and flexibility and keeps me in good shape. Her flows are fun, and I enjoy her music and creative approach. Her timing gives me space to hold each asana, and she’s helped me get better with cardio”

“Phi’s yoga is such a joy. Her flow, cadence, and music makes for such a fun class. I always feel awesome afterwards!”
