About Adele

Adele’s mission is to make yoga therapy and meditation accessible to kids and adults so that all people may live to their full potential as happy, healthy, intuitive and integrated human beings.

With a life-long love of learning, Adele is a sponge for anything to do with 5-element theory, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, meridians, ancient yogic and Vedic scriptures, neuroscience, meditation and consciousness. But nothing moves her quite as much as seeing the light shining in people’s eyes when yoga brings them back in touch with their own heart.

Dr Adele Vincent

Adele has a PhD in neuroscience, multiple yoga qualifications and is an author. Her first children’s yoga storybook, Butterflies Be Gone, is for overcoming fear and anxiety. It’s co-authored by Loraine Rushton of Zenergy Yoga. Their second yoga storybook, Shout It Out, for emotional expression and resilience, is currently with the publisher.

Adele is experienced in teaching Ryoho Yoga, Krishnamacharya Hatha and Satyananda Hatha. Most recently, Adele is a graduate of Ryoho Wellness and was privileged to train with master teacher, Andzej Gospodarczyk. Ryoho is a way of life that includes Japanese meridian-based yoga therapy, a balanced, wholefoods macrobiotic diet, mindful living and a lifestyle that promotes internal and external harmony.

Adele is experienced at adapting yoga to suit people of all ages, from babies to seniors. Adele has taught in studios, kindergartens, schools, childcare centres, the corporate sector, community classes, online and outside. She brings a wealth of experience from science, yoga, energy medicine and life experience to all her offerings, whether online or in person.

Previously, Adele worked as a neuroscientist researching the fascinating topics of Alzheimer's disease, neuroregeneration, neuroimmunology and nervous system development. She lectured in molecular biology, biochemistry, human biology, anatomy & physiology and neuroscience.
