Verity encourages every student to create a healthy and sustainable yoga practice. She offers individual support to all levels of experience, with a special interest in pregnancy and postnatal practice.

John Cusack

John feels yoga works on a multitude of levels simultaneously. A standard one hour class can have the effect of rigorously working the body on the physical level; creating peace and stillness on the mental level; and lastly connecting with the higher self on the spiritual level. John enjoys teaching corporate, private and studio classes around Sydney.

Teaghan Alexander

For Teaghan, yoga is a continuous dance with life. Her teaching draws upon knowledge from Vinyasa, Hatha and Iyengar Yoga.

Her classes are centred around presence in the breath and steeped in reminders of the simplicity and joy of being one’s innate self.

Danielle Dolev

At the age eight, Danny could not stop wriggling, jumping and moving so her mum sent her to dance classes. This set Danny on a life path that embodies a love of physical movement. Tai chi, chi gong and pilates are some of the influences Danny draws on in her yoga classes.

Prue Granger

For Prue, yoga is the only time everything else seems to melt away, and the capacity to tap into presence and flow state is revealed. Her teachings are inspired by her own excavations within her practice, which delves into the intricacies and synchronicities of nature. Prue’s classes weave together soulful movement, breath and the vibrational hum of Mantra.
