With a lifelong dedication to movement, Bronwen has spent decades exploring and teaching across multiple disciplines. After transitioning from performance to teaching in 2008, she developed a multidisciplinary approach that draws from dance, yoga, contortion, hand balancing, somatics, and strength-based practices. Her work prioritizes technical clarity, adaptability, and long-term physical capability.
A competitive dancer from age six and a youth company member by ten, she later performed professionally in ballet, cabaret, and commercial productions before shifting to full-time teaching in 2008. (Dance CV available upon request.)
In 2008 she relocated to Buenos Aires—initially drawn to tango—and immersed herself in yoga. Having completed a 500-hour RYT program before leaving Canada, she continued Ashtanga Primary and Intermediate studies with Andrea Martinez and visiting teacher Lino Miele. A year later she moved to Oslo, attending daily Mysore with Alexander Medin and Basia Lipska, while also training with Dominique Corigliano (Ashtanga), Vijaya Kumar (Sanskrit & Ashtanga), Edward Clarke (Tripsichore Yoga), and Dr. Ganesh Mohan (Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda). During this period she completed Primary and Intermediate Series teacher trainings with Manju Jois (Crete and Bologna), began teaching yoga in Oslo (2009), and later assisted Basia Lipska at Purple Valley Yoga in Goa, India.
Returning to Canada in 2011, she reconnected with dance. In 2013 she founded Studio 253, offering Mysore yoga and dance programs for youth and adults. She expanded her training to include Franklin Method, Ido Portal, Gymnastic Bodies, Pilates, hand balancing with Yuri Marmerstein, and contortion with Catie Brier (San Francisco).
In 2018 she returned to Vancouver and began teaching flexibility, hand balancing, acro floorwork, and barre classes, later adding certifications in pole and lyra. During the pandemic she produced pre-recorded content for Skillwell (still available). On February 22, 2024, she launched her Members platform featuring on-demand videos, livestream classes, and progressive programs for dancers, pole/aerial artists, and other adult movers.
Bronwen continues to teach internationally, with workshops and guest teaching in Oslo, Dublin, San Flaviano (Umbria), Rome, and Tulum. She currently divides her time between Kelowna and Ottawa, Canada, and is available for private bookings in both locations.
