The honesty, intuition, and strength we bring to our mats eventually transpires to fill our lives, and for me there is nothing more beautiful than being true to one’s self. Yoga is my go to place, my island in a busy sea”

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.
SHANNON REID
In 2013 I nervously walked up the stairs of the local gym to my first yoga class. I can still remember the music pumping from the floor below and weights crashing while I lost myself in the movement.As the years progressed, so did my class attendance. At one point being asked if I was living at a studio because I'd practice multiple times a day. It was around this time I realised I found the lifestyle I wanted to pursue and decided to take it further, becoming a teacher to see what I could discover and evolve into.
I love all expressions of creativity (dabbling in music, art, design and building) and find ways to incorporate this into my classes. Rethinking the everyday and giving it a twist.

NATTY DIPOLD

Yoga connected her back to nature, self & the flow of change which is why she followed the teachings of Shiva Rea & Yoga Synergy. With many experienced teachers guiding her in different realms, natty found a passion for fascia. 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. Working with the teenager inside all ages ... Natty uses her waggish humour & light hearted attitude to share her philosophy of living fully through her classes.
BEN MACKINNON

A close family friend reccomended yoga and this became the tonic that allowed me to live the active lifestyle I wanted and manage my bodies ups and downs.I am a Vinyassa yoga teacher with a strong background in Hatha and Iyengar and focus on maintaining breath awareness, alignment and creating a sense of calm and clear vitality in my clients. 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.
