04 – 31 of January 2020, Diane Talty My name is Diane (Di) and I am a fully qualified Yoga Teacher based in Wollongong New South Wales Australia. My love of asana, pranayama and meditation began over twenty- five years ago. I have been a regular yoga practitioner attending numerous classes weekly as well as having a dedicated home practice. I have studied various styles including Iyengar, Hatha Vinyasa and Yin yoga. I teach in a studio environment a gentle slow flow hatha vinyasa yoga suitable for all levels including beginners. I believe that yoga is suitable for every person regardless of age and for every bodyshape. I use invitational language, encourage mindfulness and offer choice of options and modifications with a sensitivity toindividual student needs. I teach from the perspective of trauma and anxiety meaning a no hands on approach. My classes are combined with Pranayama practice and Meditation and I also offer Yoga Nidra and combine Yin and Yang asana within my evening classes.. |

03 – 28 of February 2020, Geraldine Gilbert I work in my hometown Warburg, Germany as a physiotherapist, yoga teacher and healer. I am teaching Hatha yoga in the tradition of Swami Shivananda for over ten years in my own yoga studio. My aim is that my participants accept and appreciate their body as their holy temple, and learn through easy exercises/asanas to center themselves, on the body mind and soul level. Yoga is for everybody and everybody can do it, even with physical limitations. Everybody is welcome! My desire is that my students discover their own divinity and experience that they are their own doctor, healer or therapist. I connect physiotherapy with yoga, shamanic elements (learned with Shamans from Peru) and energetic healing. My focus is to reconnect ourselves to the healing potential of mother Earth, to feel that we are all part of nature and connected with everything. |

02 – 31 of March 2020, Tayla Watson My name is Tayla, I live on the South Coast of Australia and I work as a speech pathologist and yoga teacher. I first found yoga during my university degree in 2012, when my counsellor suggested I try a yoga class to see if it would help manage my levels of stress and anxiety. After my first yoga class I realised I had found a tool to help me learn to live life in a way that delights my mind body and soul every single day. It was the beginning of eternal growth and seeing challenging circumstances as light. I think one of the best things in my life I can do is to give students one tool to help make challenging circumstances in their life a little easier. I have taught, shared and spread my love of yoga for three years, in multiple gyms and yoga studios. Vinyassa flow, yin yoga and yoga nidra and yoga for children are my favourite styles of yoga to teach. I am most passionate about awakening love in all beings as well as changing the way we interact in our forever busy world. I believe in the importance of creating presence, kindness and purpose with in our interactions. In my classes I like to create opportunities for students to connect to their inner spiritual self, mother earth and support an awakening to their path of healing. I live my life by the eight limbs of yoga each day and I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with fellow lovers of yoga. |

03 – 29 of April 2020, Eline Janine Muller My name is Eline. I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I work as a forensic and clinical psychologist, psychotherapist and yoga teacher. I finished my yoga teacher (YTT200) training in the mountains of Guatemala. On this sacred Mayan grounds I experienced we are part of nature and nature is part of us. In my own life I discovered practicing and studying yoga is guiding me in the journey of life. I came to realize that the universe is so much kinder and wiser than I could ever imagine. So to me yoga is a spiritual path in the first place and at the same time the lessons are so down to earth. The asana practice is a tool to unite body, mind and spirit. To unite our daily life with our spiritual life. So yoga is never just about the physical practice. It is also about the flexibility of the mind. We learn to feel, respect and reflect on our own boundaries and at the same time consciously setting new boundaries there where they serve our body and our true self. My classes follow the rhythm of nature: with respect to the seasons, the elements, the sun and the moon. Connected to the time of day, being more dynamic and energetic in the mornings and more reflective and restorative in the evenings. Through yoga we learn and connect to ourselves, others and all beings. This is how I teach. For everyone, for every body, every day. |

01 – 30 of November 2020, Ana Meleiro My first contact with yoga I was just 18 years old in Brasil, a present from a friend, a book about Hatha Yoga. Since then my interested just been growing and taking more place in my daily live. I took my Teacher training in Sweden 2002 and since then I’ve been practicing and sharing my little knowledge in Yoga in Stockholm and the last 3 years abroad, a healing Center in Thailand. Yoga for me is a life filosofi where I’d learn how much strength we can find within ourselves. Not just physical but, psychological end emotional too. Through yoga I found a balanced way of living and specially the volunteer work gave me a profound feeling of health and wealthy. My heart ”beats faster” for ashtanga or any dynamic yoga but I also find joy teaching Yin yoga, Qigong and Meditation. |
