HATHA / VINYASA / YIN YOGA

Suzi Joseph

I am a lover of the sunshine, ocean and nature. My goal in life is to live in a way that’s true to my heart, challenge my boundaries, and live a life of compassion and freedom. I am drawn to healing practices that connect us to our own inner wisdom and spirit: practices that allow us to become more present, grounded and embodied in our everyday lives. My classes are centred around breath and body awareness, moving slowly with focus on intention and presence, allowing space for stillness and inner listening. I am grateful to have a career doing what I love. I believe that my certification as a Master Coach in NLP, Time Line Therapy, Mediation, Yoga Nidra and the teachings of Yoga (Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa) is the greatest gift I have been given, and I am honoured to share these gifts with you.
SIVANANDA HATHA YOGA

Jill Snyder

Starting at a young age in gymnastics and dancing, movement has always been Jill’s passion. In college she took her first yoga class which began a new passion. Her practice ranged from hot yoga to vinyasa to yin, but when she decided she wanted to become a yoga practitioner she wanted to learn the traditional form and connect with a higher energy. Jill works as a Registered nurse, so her understanding of yoga’s correlation the anatomy and physiology of body is much deeper while also understanding the links between the body, mind, and spirit. Her relationship with yoga is a lifelong journey that she wants use to help guide others with their own.
TRADITIONAL HATHA YOGA

Alex Greenwood

Whilst my background is in Exercise Physiology and S&C, I was drawn to Yoga not for the physical aspect, but for the philosophical and spiritual side. Yoga, meaning “union”, is a deep practice of reacquainting ourselves with our true nature – a reminder that we are as much a part of this universe as a wave is a part of the ocean. Yoga, to me, is the practice of remembering this truth. I don’t see myself as a teacher but rather as a lifelong student who is lucky enough to be able to share what I have learned – and continue to learn – with others. In my own practice and classes, I hope to bring a sense of play, balance, and sincerity. I believe the way to create a more conscious, loving, and open world is to embody those qualities yourself. For me, Yoga is a way to reconnect with our true nature and to honour it.

Osteopath & Women’s Pelvic Health Educator

Kay Fairweather

Kay is an osteopath with a strong foundation in healthcare science, having graduated from Plymouth Marjon University, England with a Bachelor of Healthcare Science and a Master of Osteopathic Medicine. Her passion for holistic care and healing led her to complete additional postgraduate training in craniosacral therapy at the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy in the UK, and in women’s pelvic health at the Osteopathic Pelvic Health Institute of Australia. Her advanced training includes internal pelvic floor strength and prolapse assessment and treatment as well as birth preparation. Kay is passionate about helping her patients understand the critical role of the nervous system in pain and overall wellbeing. Kay was awarded a scholarship with the University of South Australia which brings the latest pain research to rural Australia. This aligns with her commitment to empowering patients through education, providing them with the knowledge and tools to manage their health long-term. When the body functions in harmony, it performs optimally, healing from trauma and defending against illness. However, disruptions to this balance can occur, some temporary and others long-lasting. The sooner we recognize these imbalances, the sooner we can address them. Kay helps patients tune in to areas of tension and encourages self-awareness, guiding them to release those tensions and regain harmony. By using techniques such as massage, manipulation, stretching and articulation she works with the body’s natural healing processes to reduce restrictions, improve movement and relieve pain. Kay empowers her patients with the knowledge and tools to restore functional balance and manage their health long-term. Whether you are experiencing aches, pains, movement restrictions, have pelvic concerns or would like advice through pregnancy, Kay’s approach is designed to support you in achieving comfort, improved function, and lasting wellbeing.
