Phil Kayumba

Instructor

Yoga Tree Elsternwick

Phil Kayumba found yoga at the tender age of 17 in India whilst living there as the child of an embassy employee. Attracted by the meditative and character building aspects of yoga at first, he soon realised that the physical part (Asana) helped channel his physical desire for activity. Moving to Australia for his tertiary education and later settling as a refugee due to political changes in his mother country of Rwanda, he continued to practice and soon felt a true calling for a career and a true journey into and with experienced teaching and teachers. Following his passion for fitness and being of service to his community, he teaches in both studios and community based environments. His passion for shared community building and serving the community with a trauma informed approach provides a space for individual expression through collective movement and breath.His motto being “Everyone, come as you are”.
