After being diagnosed with a chronic disease (Multiple Sclerosis) the way that Karyn practised yoga completely changed.  It helped her to understand the therapeutic and healing possibilities of yoga on so many different levels.  She also came to understand the importance of a class that is inclusive and supportive of whatever the students may need on any given day, regardless of their age, flexibility or ability.

The yoga that she teaches is not about achieving a pretty looking pose just for the sake of it.  It’s become for herself and her students, an ongoing, ever evolving journey of understanding and reconnecting with the body and mind, in which added strengthening and flexibility does happen, but as by-products of the practice.

Anthony is the owner of a private counselling practice Mindful Health Counselling.  He is also a Mentor at the Australian Centre for Meditation & Mindfulness and an internationally accredited meditation teacher / facilitator. 

He was trained, guided and inspired by the profound tutelage of Lisa Forde (ACMM Principal/Founder & President of Meditation Australia) and Tim James (Meditation Australia & Meditation Life)

Meditation is a core pillar of the therapy style he practices and it is deeply entrenched in his life, as a student and a teacher. 

“Meditation came to me at a time when I was feeling disconnected and unfulfilled, professionally & personally.  It offered me self intimacy, perspective and a deeper understanding of my values as a human. It allowed me to connect with my inner strengths and resources, deepen my relationships with loved ones and learn self forgiveness, self compassion & acceptance."

Monica is a Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness teacher with over 20 years of international experience teaching in Australia, Chile and online. Her teaching is rooted in classical yoga, with strong influences from Anusara and Iyengar, allowing me to guide deep, intentional and well-structured practices. She integrates conscious movement, breath awareness and mindfulness, with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, presence and self-awareness, and of course an intention.

She is passionate about creating safe, inclusive and supportive spaces where students feel seen, respected and encouraged to connect with their bodies and inner wisdom. Working with students of all ages, backgrounds and levels of experience, adapting her classes to individual needs while maintaining clarity, care and professionalism.

She offers a calm, grounded and empathetic presence, and is deeply committed to supporting holistic wellbeing through consistent and conscious practice.

Jana trained in India, where she deepened her understanding of yoga philosophy and traditional roots. These experiences shaped her belief that yoga is both a journey inward and a way to live with more presence and compassion.

“Yoga has been transformative for me, and teaching allows me to share that gift and joy with others. Come and move, breathe, explore, and enjoy the practice while discovering more about yourself.”

Jana offers yoga classes that blend gentle Hatha, restorative practices, meditation, and pranayama. Inviting students to move, breathe and explore at their own pace. Her classes provide a space to connect with the body and mind, notice subtle sensations, and enjoy the journey of the practice with curiosity — sometimes energizing, sometimes softening, always mindful.

Kelly’s classes are grounded in the traditional teachings of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, drawing from her 350-hour certification with the Yoga and Meditation School of India.

With a light-hearted teaching style and a genuine desire to build meaningful connections, she creates an environment where students feel supported, at ease and encouraged.

Kelly’s passion and teachings lie in creating stillness, helping you cultivate deep inner awareness and discover a sense of peace within. Her classes welcome all levels and range from gentle, restorative practices to more steady postures and mindful holds that cultivate strength and stability. Each session weaves together pranayama, meditation, and the gentle vibrations of sound bowl healing to support deeper presence and a more grounded state of being.

She likes to remind her students that yoga is not about perfection or achieving the “ideal” asana, but about meeting ourselves with compassion, joy, and awareness. 

Through ease rather than force, we learn to let go and truly listen to the body and mind.

Maria discovered her passion for sound therapy during a sound bath meditation session a few years ago, which took place at a wellness retreat in Melbourne.

Since then, she has explored various ways to incorporate sound therapy into her daily life with the help and training from Rainbow Sounds. They have provided her with specific techniques and courses that have deepened her understanding and practice of sound therapy.

She has always been captivated by sound frequency waves and how they have the ability to change a person's state of mind, and even their health. We are made up of energy and all have a unique frequency sound within us.

Through sound, she can bring people to a point of relaxation which helps them heal themselves and discover the fullness of what they truly are.

Donna’s journey into natural healing began in her mid 20s . She was stuck in her personal life and traditional treatments weren’t helping. She had chronic pain and was desperate for answers and knew there must be more she could do to help herself.

In 2004 she turned to natural medicine and discovered an alternative therapy called Reiki. She was so happy with her results that she studied this healing modality and is now a qualified Reiki Master. On her healing journey she discovered many new ways of healing to aid her wellbeing; these included Kinesiology, Spinal Energetics, Crystal Healing, Vibrational Essence, Oils and Meditation. 

She has completed many studies and with gratitude in her heart is now living her best life. She would love to share these with you allowing you to also experience this divine happiness.

Allow her to guide you as together you shift your whole being to a space of balance. At this present time, a lot of people are having trouble in their lives, as we are in a great shift in consciousness. She can assist you by helping you to adjust, re-balance, clear old patterns and pain. She does this in a safe relaxing space raising your vibration, in turn bringing about optimum health and happiness.

I have always loved fitness and wellness activities but as I got older I struggled to find a place where I “fit” and really felt comfortable. There always seemed to be a lack of community and having to go to different venues, rushed out and too big classes etc.

So, I created what I felt was needed and desperately lacking in the space. The studio is such a welcoming and calming environment that everyone falls in love with it immediately. It is a very special space that gives back to everyone.

Community connection is our main focus and bringing people together. We have an amazing team of professional instructors / practitioners in all aspects of the wellness field that have become like a big part of the family and are such warm, giving and passionate beings.

I will be offering structured movement classes for children and seniors which is where my particular skills set fits and will have different options available around April.

Many exciting new things coming soon as we expand into a full Family Wellness Centre in 2026.
