Meet your teachers

Dan

I was Born and raised on the outskirts of Melbourne, for most of my adult life I have practiced Yoga. After suffering intense bouts of depression and anxiety, I turned to yoga , it was particularly Hot yoga that helped me level out my nervous system, the dark clouds started to part and I felt good again. My mission is to provide a space where people heal and grow. My Favourite posture is Bow pulling pose,it just feels nice to go deep into the pose,I teach Hot yoga and pilates , I enjoy surfing, bush walking, and building stuff. Fun facts about me,I used to be a Chef,I have invented products and sold them,I have been a driller, taxi driver, telephone technician and a Crane Truck driver, and that’s just to name a few! I like all sorts of music, mostly a song that will get me on the dance floor.

This is our LOVELY and AMAZING Ali! 🤍

Yoga has completely changed her life , She started her yoga journey in 2018.

When she studied yoga teacher training her intention wasn’t to teach, however after embodying the practises , going deep into the training, and seeing first hand the incredible shifts within her own life, she had to share these teaching with others 

She has a strong passion for Bhakti , the devotional yoga, mantras and sound. 

She experienced the power of vibration and sound in her Bhakti training and it was the most profound and life changing experience she ever had!

She is a mother of 2 Boys, used to be a ski Instructor for 6 years (12 seasons back to back) And a spent some time as a Muay Thai fighter when she lived in New York/Thailand. She loves ALL music, and dancing ,Ali Teachers the Vinyasa Classes , Yin and Fundamentals Class 

Kate

I was introduced to yoga some 23 years ago, it was love at first sight! I am in constant gratitude of the transformational healing power of yoga. I teach it, I practice it and I learn from it. I love how yoga brings us right into the present, where everything else ceases to exist during this precious time on the mat and its this very thing that I adore watching permeate throughout my classes and into the students who I have the privilege to lead. A few fun facts about me! I was a chef for 17 years, I owned a restaurant at the age of 23! I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 20 years. I have 2 Furkids, Rockstar and Ruby-Tuesday, they are Australian Terriers. I live in the Hinterlands and love being surrounded by trees, I’m an Earth kid, Virgo Dragon Baby. I love spontaneity, a road trip, camping, a a fire pit! My dad was American and my mother English! I go crazy over amazing food and restaurants and still love cooking. The 3 things I will never stop enjoying are chocolate, a glass of Champagne and the company of my beautiful friends! I love to listen to peoples stories and have the most eclectic and inspiring group of friends. They say your vibe attracts your tribe! Being happy and content no matter where I am or what I am doing is at the very root of my existence. My classes will keep you safe with alignment being a primary focus whilst encouraging intuitive movement along the way. I love a full body flow, breath work, chanting and we will always OM! You will find me teaching Hot Hour, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa and HIIT Pilates. A beautiful journey of breath, movement and connection.
 

Jackie

I can still remember teaching my first ever Yoga class – It was at Redcliffe – I was so nervous that I had to ask the class to close their eyes whilst I took some deep breaths and got my s**t together – eventually courage prevailed! Thankfully I have mastered and overcome this to enjoy every aspect and privilege that teaching offers. Fast-forward to more recent – I discovered INFERNO HOT PILATES and off I went to complete my training. Come try it – I will guide you through with my quirky humour – its the best BUTT workout…  I’ve also qualified as a Flexologist ( assisted stretching)

I’m a fairly grounded person – I drink “normal” milk, eat meat and enjoy a red wine – and cannot sing in tune

Qualities I’ve personally experienced on my journey are

Humility ,Self-Awareness, Courage ,Strength, Presence ,Surrender, Break-throughs and Break-downs, Honestly the benefits aren’t limited to these; you’ll feel fantastic, look great and shine brighter than ever before… Power for your Body, Energy for your Soul and Wisdom for your Mind. I have done numerous teacher training courses, retreats, master-classes, workshops etc, here in

Australia and Overseas. Always happy to share – just ask …

Christie

Christie discovered yoga in 2015 and was immediately hooked. Seeing an opportunity to bring something new to her Brisbane studio timetable, she completed Hot Pilates certification and has been teaching anywhere between 4-8 classes weekly, in addition to her “day job”, sharing her time between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, initially, before committing wholeheartedly to coastal life.
She works as a Senior Physiotherapist for Queensland Health in the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.
Following her dream of teaching yoga, she completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in October 2021 and 500 hour training in 2022, and is loving exploring her own fusion of strengthening and stretching Vinyasa, incorporating a bit of anatomy education in the mix!
She has a steady Bikram practice and has been leading 60 minute Bikram classes to music for the past 5 years.
Amongst other things, Christie loves exercise, reading and the Coastal lifestyle.
