Nina Coates
Yoga Teacher
"I feel like I am a part of a community that supports me. My friends recommended it to me and then I’ve got to know Emmanuelle and I even found my first yoga student through Sojoourn. As a Tribe Leader I can connect to other Tribe Leaders to do workshops and events together, which is amazing as there’s so many opportunities within the community."
