About Dog Face
Hi I’m Bianca (B)! My yoga journey started in my late teenage years when I transitioned from the dance world.
​
My practice was very inconsistent for many years. I would find myself straying away and getting distracted. And when that would happen my physical and mental health would cop it.
​
After years of struggling with depression, anxiety, debilitating panic attacks that would send me unconscious and hospital stays, in 2021 I finally decided to do my 200 hours YTT and focus on my practice. To this day the greatest decision I’ve ever made.
​
Since then I’ve trained over 600 hours with Noelle Connelly, Danielle Coulibaly, Danielle Barker, Sarah Routhier, Rachel Coopes, Vicky Smart, Simon Park, Joan Hyman, Patrick Beach and so grateful to absorb their deep knowledge and dedication to the practice.
​
For me yoga is about connection - back to myself, to my mind, body and to our community. It’s helped me have the tools to work through my depression and anxiety, as well as so so much more. I’m proud to say I haven’t had a massive panic attack since 2022 and I credit my practice as the biggest factor. Which is why sharing the practice and helping others through their yoga journey is important to me.
​
Now, what’s the significance of “dog face”? It was a loving nickname my beautiful grandad gave me, which is also a play on some of the key poses in yoga with upward/downward facing dog. A way for me to honour my linages. The logo illustration was also designed by my beautiful friend Miranda Lorikeet of my beautiful dog, Bubooshka.
​
I’m looking forward to continuing to share my journey in this space and excited for you to join me!
