Hi, my name is Irene

My yoga journey started shortly after losing my mother, when I wanted to understand why chronic illness develops in a seemingly healthy person. I read about studies that revealed the relationship between lifestyle and even our thoughts and attitudes with our health and well being. I learned that yoga and meditation could make significant positive changes in people with all kinds of health issues. I was young and healthy and I began to think about how I wanted to age. This is what brought me to my first yoga class in 1998.

After 20 years of dedicated practice (and at times not so dedicated - I am human after all), I realised that yoga was central to my wellbeing and I wanted to share it with others. In late 2018, I commenced my studies with one of Australia's most reputable and comprehensive yoga schools, gaining my 460 hour Diploma of Yoga Teaching with the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA) in 2020.

As a yoga teacher, I want to help people find awareness of how they move and interact with the world and find steadiness and ease, both on and off the mat.
