JAZMINE WHEATLEY
Jaz is a regular wanderer, adventure chaser, lover of dance and Kirtan.Jazmine found yoga during the turbulence of her teenage years, in which she was consumed by depression and anxiety. The only place that felt right was the yoga studio, the asana and breath awoke something in her and she quickly fell in love with the practice. The deeper teachings and sense of connection and purpose it provides continued to coax her to the mat day after day.
After years of dedicated practice, Jazmine journeyed to India where she trained in Hatha yoga at Tattvaa Yoga Shala. She has an ongoing thirst for expanding her knowledge and understanding of yoga and considers herself as primarily a student.
Jazmine’s warm, playful, funny and passionate nature is ever-present in her classes as she provides a fun and challenging environment. She draws inspiration from yogic philosophy, skillfully weaving in alignment, mindfulness and breath with creative sequencing. She encourages students to move beyond their perceived limitations, expect an invitation to delve inward and explore the layers of the self through connected movement.

I have a deep love of all things arm balance and inversion work along with meditation and pranayama and believe in the transformational power of yoga to empower people in an ever changing world.
I have worked for over 15 years in personal training and massage and believe in modifying poses to the ages and stages of my clients lives along with their current fitness levels and health needs.
I am a keen waterman in all watersports and have been involved in competitive bodyboarding internationally and feel yoga has something of deep value to offer any athlete. So come along to one of my classes and bring a friend. I feel i have something to offer every client and am honoured to give back the gift of yoga that was given to me as a teenager!

She shares these understandings through her classes, her self massage workshops and natural healing techniques.A lover of love & living wholesomely, natty makes use of her time practising yoga disciplines, taking photos, writing poetry, being in nature and enjoying a simple life.
