Empowering, Compassionate, Liberating

Initially Sharon was drawn to Yoga as a way to deal with stress but soon discovered that her Yoga practice helped with every part of her life; experiencing an improved sense of balance, clarity and compassion towards herself and others. Sharon enjoys teaching a strong, purposeful and cleansing practice promoting the self-healing capabilities of the body. She is extremely passionate and committed towards her continual development as a practitioner, and teacher, of Yoga and hopes that sharing her own experiences along the way will provide similar benefits to her students on and off their mats.  

 

Sharon has completed an Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teacher Training, a Post Graduate Yoga Teacher Training and many Workshops, Intensives and Immersions to deepen her knowledge and love of Yoga... forever a student!

strong , transformative, playful

Di is an experienced teacher, her first ever was with Duncan Peak from “Powerliving” and uses her love of science, somatic sensing and anatomical background to create playful creative sequences that result in strength, stretch and release, with a focus on the breath. She continually encourages students to come to their "edge on the mat", that comfortable uncomfortable place, that moment in each pose when you want to drop out of a pose, that place you can grow as a yogi but also as a person when you stay. This is where the transformation can happen.

Di uses philosophy throughout her classes, allowing you to develop awareness around your body, your breath and your mind.

“I believe yoga gives us time and space to explore ourselves, space to get to know ourselves”. “The ability to learn to breathe deeply, means we can down regulate our nervous system to calm ourselves, rather than relying on others/or other other things to soothe us.”

Di has completed over 1000 hrs of training and has been teaching for over 15 years and is one of senior teachers.

Creative, harmonising, joyful

Monique brings 300hrs of teaching experience from a background of Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin. Her teaching philosophy centres around creating a safe and inclusive environment where students of all levels can explore their practice, cultivate mindfulness, and connect with their bodies in an enjoyable and empowering way.

Monique is particularly inspired by Yoga Philosophy and enjoys bringing insightful teachings into her classes. The philosophy is what predominately pointed her in the direction of yoga from the early age of 10 and has been a wonderful unfolding journey since then.

Monique is particularly passionate about yin yoga from it’s therapeutic benefits based on Chinese Medicine 5 Elements theory and Taoist Philosophy. She draws inspiration from these ancient practices and knowledge, weaving the philosophy through her offerings in a way that deeply nourishes the remembrance of your nature. That through meridian based work we harmonise the 5 elements within contributing to a greater sense of harmony with the natural world we are part of.

 

Monique embraces Yoga as a path toward ones self realisation and liberation. She has spent a lot of time following the Bhakti Yoga movement where she learnt and developed her love for Kirtan. A devotional practice that involves chanting sacred Vedic mantras which she loves sharing where and when she can!

Off the mat Monique is an Empowerment Coach and Traditional Japanese Reiki Teacher, striving to share a compassionate way to guide people toward themselves in a sustainable and joyful way.
