Karla Brodie
Karla is an experienced and qualified Yoga teacher. She is inspired to share the practice and philosophy of yoga in a simple, joyful, self renewing way. Her practical and intuitive approach leads students toward a deeper experiential understanding of breath, balanced posture and integrated movement. Karla has specialised in teaching restorative yoga for over 20 years.
The foundation of Karla’s teaching is within the Basic Neurocellular Patterns and the study of Body-Mind Centering. Embodying these self renewing patterns restores effortless breathing, ease, fluidity and cohesion in movement. Karla’s teachings, inspired by her teacher, friend and mentor Donna Farhi, offer a holistic approach to the art, science and practice of Yoga.
Neal Ghoshal
Neal has been practicing yoga for over twenty-two years and teaching since 2003. He sees yoga as a map guiding us home to a place of peace and relaxed openness in each moment. 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.
Neal also specialises in Restorative Yoga and in iRest Yoga Nidra (he is a certified teacher of the iRest Path of Meditation).
Neal has taught on teacher training programs in Australia and New Zealand, and has been a member of the teaching faculty of his teacher, friend and mentor, Donna Farhi’s Advanced Teacher Training.
