Homebodhies was born from the recognition of how our fast-paced, “modern” way of life was harming our health, our communities, and our precious planet.
In the busyness of everyday life, we found ourselves struggling to care for ourselves, let alone take care of one another and make conscious, sustainable choices. We found ourselves rushing through life, watching the clock and counting down the days till the weekend, instead of fully appreciating this miracle of being alive.
And so we embarked on a quest to live intentionally, joyfully, and in harmony with this beautiful Earth we get to call home. We left our jobs, our home, and our beloved city of Brighton in pursuit of a slower pace of life — one that is more aligned with our values, that makes us kinder to one another and to the planet, and allows us to be our healthiest, happiest selves.
Homebodhies is our offering to you. It is the culmination of our combined lifetimes’ worth of training and experience, and the product of our desire to continue to be of service to the community, no matter where we are in the world. It is the space we wish we had back when we were exhausted, isolated, and on the brink of burnout.
Homebodhies is your invitation to slow down.
Meet The Team
Katya
Katya is a yoga teacher, medical doctor, and lover of all things healing for the mind, body, and soul.
Transformed by yoga teachings in the foothills of the Himalayas, she travelled to the birthplace of yoga, Rishikesh, India, where she completed her first Yoga Teacher Training. She has since taught in 10 countries across 3 continents, and feels immensely privileged to guide others on their own journeys of healing and transformation.
Her classes are a marriage of ancient tradition and creative expression, and a vessel for savouring the sacredness of the human experience.
Guy
After working in a number of high-turnover restaurants, Guy made the decision to transition to plant-based, sustainable cooking, creating food that takes care of us as well as our planet.
Trained as a visual artist in Berlin, he adds his artistic flair to every plate and especially enjoys conceiving novel dishes that showcase the richness of the plant kingdom.
When not cooking, Guy can be spotted in his natural habitat, riding mellow waves and sporting his signature bucket hat.
Emma
Emma doesn’t actually have a bio because she hasn’t technically agreed to be part of the team. But how great do the three photos look together!
