Faculty Teachers:
200-Hour & 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training programs
Karla Brodie
Karla loves to share yoga in a simple, joyful, self renewing way. Her practical and intuitive approach leads students toward a deeper understanding of balanced posture and integrated movement.
Dyana Wells
Dyana introduces students into the core principles that underlie any spiritual enquiry, and takes them on fascinating journeys of discovery inside their minds and bodies. They explore the rich interplay between yoga and science.
Neal Ghoshal
Neal’s teaching focuses on exploring and refining natural movement and alignment principles – learning to embody these principles in a way that takes our spiritual practice into our everyday lives.
Vincent Bolletta
Vincent encourages one to be curious about their yoga practice and offers a range of tools to support that enquiry including pranayama, asana, postural re-patterning and hands on enhancement.
Tension and agitation are the enemies of space; they restrict and inhibit. To be free and truly sense space, it simply becomes a matter of introducing ease. Ease is a barometer that guides our movements, our breath and our mind.
Dedicated to Excellence in the Investigation of Body-Mind Approaches to Yoga
The main focus of the Yoga tradition is the personal journey of self exploration, discovery and healing. From a common trunk rooted in the desire for freedom, it branched in many directions, flowering into a multitude of insights and revelations about life.
This training embodies this philosophy, supporting deep personal investigation with current learnings and technologies. Throughout history the Yoga tradition has honoured the past and transcended its limitations at the same time.
Our specialist teachers follow the latest investigations in the fields of movement, body-mind centering and Yoga therapeutics. They include the natural sciences, alongside in-depth studies of Patanjali’s Sutras, Buddhist teachings and the Bhagavad Gita.
Yoga offers personal experience and personal accountability. Our teachers support students in their own explorations and teaching styles, with humour, wisdom and passion, with training, mentoring, meditation and private tuition.
