She is passionate about designing classes that are specific to the student's need. Her background as an Exercise Physiologist aids in supporting students with injuries and she holds a firm belief that there is a yoga to fit everyone.

Katrina started yoga in 2010 at the age of 39 and started her teaching journey in 2013 with Power Living Yoga's 200-hour Vinyasa Flow training. She has also completed Yin training and various other workshops and courses.

She believes that life is her greatest teacher, and that yoga is for anyone and everyone. Katrina's passion is hands-on assisting; she wants you to gain a glimpse of your potential and to inspire you to see how amazing you are.

Her goal is to leave her students with a fresh perspective, energised, and refreshed and ready for whatever comes next. She would like to create a haven where you can just BE; however she also likes to challenge you. Her hope is to facilitate a deeper self-awareness, which helps you to THRIVE.

Sarah has been practicing yoga since 2005. She obtained a Diploma from The Yoga Institute in Sydney in 2019 and is registered with Yoga Australia. She has since done a kids yoga training course and teaches at some of the local schools.

Sarah is a keen cyclist and runner and has found that her students naturally end up having similar interests. Her style of teaching focuses on opening shoulders, chest, back and hips, as well strengthening the core and working the lungs. And while her classes are appropriate for all ages and levels, there will be challenges along the way for those who’d like them. There will always be fun poses to try - often with modifications offered, sometimes using blocks, straps or the wall. Her classes are breath-centered with students encouraged to follow their breathing rhythm.

Her goal is for you to leave her class feeling rejuvenated, a little stronger, slightly looser and relaxed.

Her favorite quote is "Health in the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, and faithfulness the best relationship" - Buddha

Clare has been practicing yoga for over a decade and teaching for five years. She holds qualifications in teaching Hatha Vinyasa Yoga from Balance Yoga Sydney, Personalised BioMedical Yoga from the BioMedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation and Pilates from Zama Institute.

​Clare’s yoga journey was originally motivated by a search for the “body beautiful”, however it was not long before she realised that the practice was having an increasingly beneficial effect on her mind and emotional regulation. Stress levels reduced and road rage became a thing of the past. These changes triggered a fascination with the practice of Yoga and set Clare on her pathway to becoming a Yoga Teacher.

​Honouring her own journey, Clare’s teaching is motivated by her desire to share the many benefits of the practice and her classes will often include a reflection on how Yoga goes beyond the mat and provides support in daily life.

​It gives Clare the greatest satisfaction to see the students leaving class with that glowing yoga smile.

Claire is a down to earth teacher with plenty of experience and humour, which will be reflected in her classes, which are accessible to everyone yet provide plenty challenges too.

Her own practice keeps her grounded, and constantly learning!

She is at home with both a dynamic and gentle hatha class and loves teaching beginners as well as well practiced students!
