The Team
Who We Are
Tanya
Owner & Yoga Teacher
Welcome everyone! I'm a yoga teacher and designer and I wanted to combine my interests by creating a beautiful tranquil space to practise and teach yoga in with my fellow teachers, friends, family and others who will join us.
I completed my yoga teacher training in Frog Lotus, Suryalila, Spain under wonderful teachers such as Vidya Heisel and Lisa Dunne.
​
In my classes I will bring my knowledge of yoga asana, yoga for the nervous system, the yoga ethos and philosophy along with my training in pilates, shamanic practitioning and Emotional Biodecoding (how trauma shows up in our body and our every day lives) to approach my yoga classes in an holistic way.
I invite you to come and allow yourself to just be as you are.

Amanda
Yoga Teacher
​
Practising since she was 17 Amanda is deeply connected to the practice of yoga. Amanda credits yoga to completely transforming her entire life.
“In developing my own style as a teacher, accessibility is the most important thing for me. As someone living with a chronic illness I wanted to create classes for all bodies, not just young, energetic, flexible ones. My mission; Yoga for every. body.
My style, is a little bit of everything, mostly vinyasa, some hatha, a sprinkle of Iynger and any other knowledge I’ve gained over the years to assist you in unlocking your own healing potential. “
Amanda studies health science & nutrition and supports people in improving their relationship with their bodies & mindset. she encourages people to make the most of the meditative state you create using yoga, breathwork & meditation as tools to rewire the neural networks in your brain which supports you to integrate all this new knowledge and make transformative changes on & off the mat.
“For me, yoga isn’t an asana or a pose, it’s a feeling of inner peace. At then end of my class, I hope that all of my students leave their mat holding a deep sense of peace. When we can bring our yoga off the mat & experience the world with a calm nervous system, we experience a different world ✨. “
