Hannah Galvin
Darlington
Summary
My name is Hannah Galvin, a 30-year old certified yoga teacher with a passion for writing, yoga / holistic practices, music, the ocean, sustainability, and the outdoors. I host and produce my own weekly radio show Solstice on FBi Radio, and foster a large background in writing and subediting for various publications such as Purple Sneakers, FBi Radio and Red Bull Music Academy. Outside of artistic pursuits I have years of reception, retail and hospitality experience. In 2023 I completed my first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification at Egg Of The Universe, and received a scholarship for my second 200-hour YTT in Sri Lanka with Axis Yoga. I currently intern at Humming Puppy's Sydney studio.
