My personal practice began 25 years ago & over time I have grown to love the philosophy & spiritual side of the practice more.

​The lineage of Yoga I am taught in is the

T. Krishnamacharya lineage through his son TKV Desikachar.

​I love the emphasis on breath & the connection between breath and body. You will always find me guiding you to this connection in all of my classes.

 Your yoga practice should support you, physically and mentally and I truly believe there is a suitable practice for Every Body.

I have completed over 1000 hours of training in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Qi Gong, Restorative, Mat & Reformer Pilates.

I am also a registered Meditation Teacher , Sound Healer & Shamballa Reiki Practitioner.

I love witnessing the transformation of my students, both physically & spiritually.

Hello,

I'm Sally & I adore being part of this beautiful community.

I love the spiritual teachings of yoga as a beautiful guide to live an authentic life, honoring body, mind & soul.  

In studio I welcome you warmly & thoughtfully guide you through your practice with a focus on the union of breath & movement. Each class is a journey to connect with the divinity of being you while experiencing & embracing feelings. I hope that after class you feel grounded, energised, embodied & empowered.

As a heart led practitioner I value connection with others, the variability of each body & lovingly hold space.

​

Join me in studio for yoga, sound baths & energy healing.

Hi, my name is Ali.

 

I'm a mum of two young adults now and grew up in Point Lonsdale. 

 

Like Kirsteen,  I have also been taught to teach yoga in the tradition of T. Krishnamacharya and his son T.K.V. Desikachar. When you come to my yoga classes I hope you feel welcome & comfortable. I instruct moving into and out of poses in connection with the breath and encourage students to keep their awareness within, allowing the body to be at ease, breath to become smooth & long and the mind to eventually come to a state where it is able to be calm & stay in the present moment. 

 

I appreciate that every student comes to class with a different starting point & different strengths, challenges & experience in regard to a yoga practice whether it be in the body, the mind or breath.   

Originally from the Highlands of Scotland, Angus now lives in Ocean Grove with his wife, Ashleigh, and their son, Ruari.

 

Angus’ journey to becoming a full-time yoga teacher, now also a teacher trainer and mentor, has taken him across the globe to learn from some of the world’s top instructors.

 

He brings a gentle approach to yoga, challenging traditional narratives by offering a more person-centred, compassionate teaching style.

 

Angus’ down-to-earth nature and humour help everyone feel more at ease during practice. With a strong understanding of anatomy, his flow classes are thoughtfully designed to maximize the benefits of each practice. His Yin classes follow a “say less” ethos, keeping things simple and allowing people the space to have their own unique experience.

 

HI I'm Eliza,

Welcome to my movement facilitation journey! With a lifelong passion for dance, yoga, and Pilates, I empower individuals to discover their physical and mental strength through conscious movement. My training in Pilates and yoga, including specialized focus on pre and postnatal care and injury prevention, allows me to guide you towards holistic wellbeing. Join me in exploring the transformative power of movement for a healthier, more balanced life!

I completed my Mat and Reformer Pilates with breath education  in 2022. I completed my 200 YTT in Rishikesh India in 2023 and then my 300 hour YTT in Ubud Bali in 2024. Both my trainings were focused on Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin practices. I absolutely love teaching. 

I cannot wait to see you on the Mat and explore movement together at Samana Yoga. 

Hi,

 

I’m Liv and I am a Reformer and Mat Pilates instructor.

I have a love for movement and training the body to feel all the various benefits Pilates has to offer.

 

I adore living on the beach and enjoy going for walks on a nice day. I have a bubbly persona and am always up for a chat!

 

My goal as an instructor is to ensure you feel a sense of achievement after class, feeling that little bit stronger than when you walked in.

 

I offer variety of movement and provide an option for everyone.

 

I am looking forward to meeting you all at Samana!

Hi , I'm Jodie & I have been practicing yoga for 16 years.

​

I love to teach a power flow combining Pilates strength and a moving meditative vinyasa flow.

 

I also enjoy teaching an inward focused mindful practice in my Yin classes.

​

Join me on the mat where together we will explore the deeper connection with the self through flow, breath work, balance & mindfulness.

Hi, I'm Marie,

 

I first experienced meditation as a young child with my mum and then discovered yoga in my early twenties.

​

Through yoga,  I  found a way to connect the body and mind within the same practice.  My fascination for exploring the inner self has continued to grow ever since.

​

​

Trained in India in the ancestral Hatha tradition, my teaching incorporates a dynamic Vinyasa twist as well as peaceful Yin postures. My down-to-earth approach and the philosophical insights I  weave through my classes ensures my classes will keep resonating within you long after you step off the mat. Mindfulness and meditation are the key elements I will use to guide you through your own self-discovery.

Hi I'm Alex,

 

I've been a  yoga teacher for many many years with a particular passion for teaching Yin.

 

I'm also a Thai yoga massage therapist and health coach and am based in Tasmania the majority of the time.

​

I have a reputation for delivering high quality self care workshops and retreats. 

​

I will enjoy meeting you all at Samana Yoga!
