Alexandra connects with the practice of yoga as a life practice which includes an ongoing inquiry into how to be completely engaged and intimate with the wild force that runs through everything and is running through us. She helps students establish an equanimous, calm abiding centre to help them become resilient, tolerant, and accepting of the inevitable changes we all go through. When we apply this acute attentiveness we learn on the mat to all aspects of our everyday life, it allows a unitive awareness to filter through our relationships, our work, and our play.

Whether you desire a physical release or practical tools to manage day-to-day stress, she hopes you step off the mat empowered to live your best life.
Jess first found yoga working post-uni in the corporate world. Having always been active growing up, she found her body didn't love the feeling of sitting in the one position every day, not to mention the mental stress common in workplace settings. A few years after her practice began informally in 2011, one thing led to another and suddenly she was completing her first teacher training, with a mission to teach the world that we don't need to be as stressed as we are. Jess loves sharing her love for congruence between body, breath and emotional awareness, balancing strengthening with stretching, and more restorative practices, giving her students much-needed permission to slow down and connect within.

Originally into Ashtanga and Power Yoga, Nic signed up for her first teacher training to deepen her own practice rather than a desire to teach. An injury led her to Yin Yoga, where she experienced the unique healing qualities and meditative benefits. This motivated Nic to want to develop and share her knowledge, so she undertook a further 100 hour Yin specific teaching certification. Nic's goal is to help students develop their own body awareness, overcome chronic pain and increase mobility. She believes Yin is a perfect complement to dynamic styles of exercise and that it benefits both yogis and other athletes.

Having learnt yoga with her mother from an early age the practice of yoga has filtered in and out throughout Sheridan's life. She felt it was apart of herself she wanted to explore further and so pursued teacher trainings in Bali and also with Julie Smerdon of Shri Yoga. Sheridan believes that yoga teaches us the joy of being truly present in each and every moment, to be a little kinder towards ourselves, and that each day will present differently and to just notice this and enjoy.
Susie has made yoga a part of her life for over 17 years, and decided to undertake teacher training to deepen her own practice and knowledge of yoga philosophy. Her experiences practicing in India and Bali uncovered a strong desire in her to teach, and led to her leaving her corporate career to pursue a life journey more in line with her personal values. She originally trained in Purna Yoga (Hatha based and Iyengar influenced) but her more recent training has lead her to specialise in yin & restorative. Susie’s love of yoga shines through in her teaching style, and her students always walk away from her classes feeling energised in the body and chilled in the mind.
All the instructors are amazing & quite different, which is good if you want to mix it up. I feel better every time I leave!”
