Meet the Yoga Teachers

Both Ed and Jill teach Vinyasa style yoga classes and work hard to tailor each yoga class and poses to the participants so everyone from beginners to experts gets a great experience in a welcoming atmosphere.

Meet Jill

I first came to Yoga over 15 years ago, originally seeking the benefits of fitness and flexibility, however over the years yoga has become much more than that, and is now ingrained in who I am and how I live day to day.

I primarily teach Vinyasa style classes, where the focus is on linking breath to movement. I also offer kids' yoga, yin/yang style classes, as well as prenatal Yoga.

My Yoga teaching style and philosophy is based on a felt experience where the practitioner is encouraged (and guided
through) tuning into a deeper sense of knowing self/body awareness... in turn becoming one's own teacher. My classes invite a sense of exploration and
curiosity, giving options for all levels.

I aim to tailor my classes to all
abilities, offering modifications for those who are new to yoga and inviting a challenge for those who want a bit of “extension.”

Most of my classes begin with ground level or seated poses and breath work, move into Sun Salutations and Standing
poses, then move back to the Earth for more seated and grounding poses and end with a 7-10 minute savasana (relaxation).

​When I am not teaching Yoga I can be found teaching in primary schools and most importantly being a mum to my two young boys.

Meet Ed

I have been practicing yoga for twenty years, since I was told to 'stretch more' after a cricket injury. I bought an Iyengar Yoga book, and never stopped.

I love yoga for the discipline it requires, what yoga askes of you as a human being, and how forgiving yoga is. I also love how my body feels after I do yoga.

Running two businesses, I know life seems easier and more manageable when I am doing yoga.

I want to teach yoga because I know how good life is with yoga as a part of it - I really want to spread yoga as far as I can, so I'm open to teaching anyone and hope to reach more men who need yoga, especially in industries like construction.

I teach a vinyasa flow, and enjoy most yoga poses - I find
dolphin and wheel most challenging.

My favourite yoga teachers include: Jill and Nikki in New Zealand, Nadian in Qatar, Jessica Richburg on YouTube and Frank Cavona, a History Teacher.

I feel I am here on earth to serve my family, community, and
the world. It is my intention to stay on my mat and grow old with grace and perspective.
