Meet Our Teachers
Hilary
Cherry
My love and dedication to the practice of Yoga and Meditation has had a profound effect on all aspects of my life.
I have personally experienced the transformational benefits that occur when learning ways to create space, and to balance the mind, body and soul. My goal is to share my passion with my students, creating a beautiful safe, playful environment.
I like incorporate Pranayama and Meditation in to all of my classes to enrich the practice offering a holistic experience.
With a background in Dance my classes are often dynamic and flowing, which allows students to find freedom in expressing themselves through movement, then settling into stillness to find tranquillity and calm.

Maria
Yoga, for Maria, is about the here and now; it’s about the breath and breathing into the heart. Within us, we have many aspects that hinder path progression and self fulfilment.
Hence, she utilises yoga and its practices of meditation, breathing techniques, ethics, postures and devotional practices, to connect with the heart, the core. She is passionate about developing mindful, creative and spiritual classes that allow individuals to tap into the tools that connect with their own truth, whenever and wherever they are ready. In addition to Maria’s passion for Restorative Therapeutics and Yin Yoga she loves to teach Vinyasa Flow and Hatha Yoga. Having completed over 500 hours of Yoga training she branched out into complementary areas, continuing her studies, focusing of various aspects of therapy including hormonal and emotional issues for mature aged women, fertility, menopause and therapy post mastectomy. She also likes to draw on her extensive background as a social worker and counsellor, her passion for therapy as well as focusing on Thai Yoga Therapy Massage and Reiki.
Vic
Vic began her Yoga journey 18 years ago when she started attending weekly Hatha Yoga classes. The sense of greater wellbeing discovered through Yoga prompted Vic to take her practice to the next step, studying for the Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching.
Vic creates a warm friendly environment with classes focusing on increasing body awareness, developing strength, flexibility and greater mindfulness through correct alignment. Vic’s intelligently crafted classes cater to students of all levels, and encompass vinyasas (flowing sequences), static asanas (postures), meditation, which helps to uncover inner stillness and pranayama (breathing practices) enabling students to feel both energized and relaxed with a greater sense of peace of mind.
Vic is a passionate Children and Teens Yoga Teacher teaching in many schools in the area and is a dedicated Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, she strives to provide students with the tools to take yoga off the mat and into their lives.
Vanessa
“….. I have always loved keeping fit and Yoga began as an alternative form of exercise, however it quickly became more and a way of life. I have found there is nothing else like it, you come away after a Yoga practice feeling so wonderful on so many different levels, not to mention the Yogi high! I love the way yoga holistically enriches the mind, body and soul. Especially today when life is so fast paced, getting on the mat gives me a chance to quiet the mind and find peace within.”
Vanessa is RYT 200 Yoga Teacher Training Accredited and she offers a yoga class which flows but is based on building strength and flexibility.
Alex
After graduating with a Bachelor degree in Sports Science, Alex left the UK and began teaching and practicing yoga in Bangkok, Thailand. Although she originally trained in traditional Hatha and Vinyasa yoga in India, Alex has enjoyed modernising her class style since teaching in Melbourne. Expect her to guide you through fun and exciting vinyasa sequences to warm and open the body, coupled with traditional pranayama and meditation, inviting space in the mind for release and relaxation.
Fiona
Fiona came to the practice following the birth of her first child as a means of easing the body back into movement. She quickly discovered the transformative benefits of yoga for the physical body and mind as well as its ability to bring a deep sense of balance and overall well-being that counteracts the stresses of modern life.
Passionate about living the essence of yoga every day, both on and off the mat, Fiona is committed to the ongoing exploration of the path. She teaches sequences that are creative and flowing while keeping a close eye on safe alignment. Students are encouraged to turn their awareness inward during the practice, move consciously and connect with the needs and abilities of their own unique body. Fiona aims to help enable her students to step off the mat feeling more connected with Self, more spacious and balanced.
