Kylie is a 280+ hour registered yoga teacher, the mum of a zesty little human, a world traveller, skier, & lover of gluten-free cinnamon donuts. Fun fact: she once upon a time lived under various palm trees in the tropics with her now husband, enjoying her years there as a scuba diving instructor.
Kylie's first memory of yoga was as an energetic pre-schooler in the 70's, dancing around her lounge room taking in Swami Sarasvati on morning TV while her mum practiced. She's told she tried out a few asana with her mum & Swami then, but even so Kylie did not actually ‘find' yoga for herself until the next century!
Although she has practiced yoga for twelve years now it was not until Kylie found real solace in it during a period of anxiety and depression that she realised what a positive force for change yoga truly can be. That was when her desire to help others through yoga began.
Kylie trained in the Anusara style with Julie Smerdon of Shri Yoga Brisbane, and has also studied with Stacey Nelson, Inspired Kids Yoga trainer. Her practice with such yoga and meditation luminaries as Elena Brower, Lizzie Lasater, Noah Maze, Ross Rayburn, Simon Borg Olivier, Nikki Ralston & Dr Lorin Roache add a sprinkle more spice to the mix.
Laura first tried yoga when she was in her early 20's but realised it wasn't fast paced enough for her over active lifestyle. It wasn't until she moved to London for the second time in 2009 that she realised that yoga was exactly what she needed for her fast paced lifestyle!
She loves the way it grounds her and brings her back to listening to her body and connecting body and breath and mind. Experiencing a clearer mind and feeling the benefits throughout her entire body are also an addictive bonus.
Laura loves to teach as she enjoys seeing the benefit of yoga through all of her students - trying to connect them back to their body and taking time out to give gratitude to themselves.
Lina's first yoga practice was 8 years ago when she fell pregnant. She instantly fell in love with yoga and the benefits she experienced. After her pregnancy she decided to focus on Vinyasa which allowed her to understand the essential connection between breathing, flow movement and calmness of mind, finding the balance in today's busy life. Following her passion she decided to become a yoga teacher, making this path her "Dharma" or purpose in life.
Lina believes that each asana has a level or variation that helps every person in their unique needs. She encourages students to listen to their intuition rather than their mind to guide their own practice and get the best outcome for their wellbeing
