Meet Annabel Short, the passionate founder of Rise Yoga. She teaches vinyasa yoga, bringing her love for movement, mindfulness and community to the beautiful beaches of Muizenberg. With a deep connection to the ocean and a commitment to accessible yoga for all levels, Annabel creates transformative experiences that connect body, mind, and the natural world.

Why "Rise?"

Inspired by the words of Rupi Kaur, "People too must wilt, fall, root, and rise, in order to bloom," Annabel sees life as a continuous journey of transformation. She believes that when we feel buried, we are actually being planted. In the darkness, we have the power to rise from our circumstances, much like a lotus emerges from mud. Annabel's own journey taught her that a strong mind and body, supported by a like-minded community, are essential to this process. She experienced yoga as a powerful tool for self-connection and transformation, which is why she is dedicated to sharing it with the world.
