Garry
 
 
 
 

Garry’s Yoga journey began in the late 1970s when he started exploring New Age lifestyles in India, the U.K. and Northern NSW.

His has devoted much of his life to helping people through exercise and using Mind Body techniques.

As an International Fitness trainer he has travelled extensively throughout Australia and South East Asia over the past 20 years.

Most recently his Yoga influences have been inspired by studying the Power Yoga techniques delivered by Power Living Australia.

Garry offers his class members a combination of Yoga principles. Using a Vinyasa approach his class flows from held poses where technique is assisted and breath focused to athletic transitions that warm the body and stimulate class participants to be 100% present to the fusion of mind, body and spirit.

 Katrina has a background in human anatomy and physiology with a long career as a Biological Laboratory Technician in several of Australia's Universities.

Katrina was introduced to yoga some 12 years ago at a prenatal yoga clinic whilst pregnant with her first child.
 
Katrina continues to attend workshops and lectures by renowned yoga teachers from around the world.
 
Yoga to Katrina, is not about striving for the perfect body shape.  It is about being present in the body to appreciate the life that is yours, and it is about being healthy so that you may enjoy the life that you have.
