Natalie is a celebrated teacher with over two decades of teaching experience. Natalie’s class takes your body on a somatic journey and addresses the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences which incorporate spinal waves and spirals to undulate the spine bringing freedom, space and suppleness to your body and joints. Open level class.

Liv loves creative vinyasa, intuitive movement and helping people feel good in their bodies. “Cultivating strength, softness and openness is the name of the game – both on and off the mat!” As an actor and movement artist, yoga has long been a part of Liv’s journey. Her classes are influenced by her passion for storytelling, a belief in movement as medicine, and a deep curiosity towards all things spiritual.

Sally offers popular monthly soundbaths. Soundbaths are a wonderful way to relax and unwind. Helps with stress, anxiety, depression and much more.

As a Pilates and Nia teacher, Christine helps you discover the sheer pleasure of moving with ease, feeling stronger and more mobile. Explore new ways of moving while refining the basics. Find discipline and precision in a movement and then play with it.  Be curious, choose what feels good.  Practice body awareness. Christine’s intention is to provide a space where people can enjoy moving.  To feel ‘I can’, rather than ‘I can’t’.  And to have some fun while doing it!  Pilates and Nia are wonderful methods to achieve this.
