Anne-Maree
Anne-Maree, Senior Teacher of Yoga Australia and director of the studio has been practising Yoga since 1996 and Teaching yoga since the late 90’s.
Teachers that have influenced my practise are Marion Vaughan, who was my first teacher and she began my journey into Hatha Yoga and Meditation. I also trained under Lyn Colenso and Wendy Bradke from Bhava Yoga and Dance Centre. They showed me how to bring my creative spirit that I wanted to incorporate in my practise and teaching.
Over the years I’ve furthered my knowledge in studies in Children & Teen Yoga and Restorative Yoga and many short courses on areas of interest. I’ve learnt under Lorraine Rushton from Zenergy Yoga for my Children and Teen Yoga teaching qualifications. Sally Dawson opened my eyes to Restorative Yoga.
I’ve been Inspired by Judith Hanson Lasater and her daughter Lizzie Lasater teachings in Restorative Yoga and Relaxation and attended workshops with them on areas of interest.
The Meditation Technique taught at the studio Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation was learnt under Ian Gawler and Paul Bedson from Yarra Valley Living centre.
With a Background in Nursing and Early Childhood I have found my range of knowledge has a diverse understanding to my classes. I’ve recently completed further studies in Early Childhood studies in Steiner Education.

Yoga is such a large area in my lifestyle, influencing my daily practises and awareness and many phases of my life. Yoga & Meditation has been there for me when obstacles of life have made it difficult and I’ve used my practise to get through these times easier.
