I started doing yoga while stressed-out studying in year 12.
I found YogaHealth's approach appealing because it is a great way to relax both the mind and body; it's like a moving meditation and it helped
to soothe my anxiety and tension. I became a teacher because I loved it so much I wanted to learn more, and now I find that teaching yoga
is a rewarding vocation because people enjoy coming to class.

As a busy mum of 2 young children I was looking for a class that would get me back in shape, help my lower back pain and provide some relaxation and stress relief.
One class of YogaHealth and I was hooked and my lower back has thanked me!

Suffered from chronic back stiffness and started Yoga classes on doctor's recommendation. No longer suffer from back stiffness and really believe
in the amazing benefits of yoga, so decided to become a teacher. Love the journey.

First attended Hatha Yoga classes for a lower back problem then
later discovered YogaHealth. I have always wanted to be a teacher and YogaHealth has enabled me to do that and teach something I love doing myself.

Curiosity drove me to try yoga. Curiosity led me to the teacher training program.
However, it is an innate desire to share information, to be of service to others and to improve my own practice of yoga that sees me teaching.
I am, only, able to do this with the support and guidance from YogaHealth.

Following a major lower-back operation at the age of 42 I took up YogaHealth.
Not only did I stage a remarkable come back but now I have the flexibility that I once enjoyed as a 20 year old, and I have resumed a very active lifestyle of jogging, abseiling and mountain biking.
All of this plus regular de-stressing from only one class per week of YogaHealth. Finally I could not resist - I had to know more and became an instructor.

I have been practicing Yoga for the past 8 years but came to YogaHealth only in 2007.
YogaHealth in a relatively short time gave me the stress relief and pain relief to my body after years of back, neck and shoulder pain acquired from state level Gymnastics.
Already a qualified Children's Yoga teacher, I decided to branch out of my comfort zone to teaching adults. Although daunting at first, it has given me a new confidence in myself and a move in a new and exciting personal and professional direction.

From a very early age I have been passionate to learn more about health and personal development. This has lead me to travel to various countries, spending valuable time
learning from native Shamans about their herbal health remedies. I also spent an insightful 2 weeks in the Amazon Rainforest with a group of Medical Practitioners visiting remote villages and assisting them with their health.
Yoga has certainly been part of my life in personal health and peace of mind. Over the years I tried various types of yoga and never really stuck with one before. Becoming a Yogahealth teacher has been one of the best things in my life - I'm doing something I love, my confidence has grown and now I can share the experience. Thank you!

My first ever yoga class was with YogaHealth and it was from that day I found my new passion. I tried many other types of yoga locally and overseas,
but YogaHealth's style always remained my favourite. It was the immediate results that the flowing movements gave me mentally and physically, that had me wanting to do and learn more.
I thoroughly enjoy learning and teaching something that makes myself and others feel great.

I began practicing yoga regularly after the birth of my two children which exacerbated my neck and back problems and consequently resulted in using pain relief just to function. I no longer suffer from neck related migraines, can wear high heels, easily pick up both my children, now 3 and 5 years, and am planning on having another child.
Helping people become freer and relax is a wonderfully rewarding experience which also gives me energy. Learning and practicing living in the Now, healing old injuries, chilling out, and sharing this with others is a dream realised and passion pursued. Thank you Yogahealth!

YogaHealth is an accessible form of yoga, being both safe and effective and it really works for me, assisting me with relaxation and increasing my energy levels. I enjoy being able to share a form of yoga which is inclusive and allows people of varying levels of fitness to participate.

My desire to learn more about Yoga coincided with the Teacher Training advertised in the Yogahealth newsletter. One thing led to another, and currently I'm taking a segment of the class and thoroughly enjoying it too! The past few months have been full of surprises, new friends, chanting, and the privilege of partnering with Bettina, my beautiful mentor. Thank you to my YogaHealth family. |

My own dear 5 and 8 year old beautiful souls who chose to be with me, guided my heart to open not only to them, but to all children ( including the inner child within me).
It is this same heart that guided me to become a Yogahealth Teacher Trainee with an intention to offer my services to children unconditionally as they fast mature into adults. An eternal service of love.

I was a busy mum with two babies when I realised one day that I wasn't breathing. I wasn't consciously taking it in and letting it out.
So I began to breathe in the midst of my busyness and it slowed things, made me more present, less robotic. It was a simple change but it was transformative. That was the beginning of my yoga journey.

I suffered chronic back pain since my teenage years. I discovered YogaHealth and have experienced better back health in the past 5 years than in the previous 25.
Having been a trainer with Telecom, the Small Business Development Corporation and PD in government agencies for 20 years, I became committed to the principles of YogaHealth and took the opportunity to undertake the Teacher Training. I enjoy the ability to pass on some of the health and mind benefits and of challenging students to view themselves and their health habits in a different way.

I loved Yogahealth from my very first class. Over my three years as a student, I learned so much and kept wanting more, so decided to take the plunge and become a Teacher Trainee. I'm very passionate about encouraging people to take a holistic approach to their wellbeing and find that yoga has been a fantastic way to live this philosophy for myself. I can't wait to share what I have learned with others! |
