Class Types
There are many different types of yoga to practice, so it’s important to find out which type of yoga is right for you.
Here’s a quick introduction to help you find your way to a class you love.
A creative class that allows deeper body awareness and mental connection. We delve into the ego body and physical self so that we can connect the deeper being of the poses. This creates an outcome of effortless meditative movement and alignment into our deeper understanding and consciousness of self. A wonderful creation of release, connection and ultimately compassion to self.
Teacher Profiles
Bindi Phillips
Bindi has had an affinity with Yoga for years, making it a personal practice when she was away working and also as a focus through her own personal growth studies and training as a Life Coach. When her two boys finally reached school age, Bindi decided to study Yoga seriously and has been training and learning ever since! Increasing her knowledge from massage, to Reiki allowing that knowledge to become a part of her Yoga classes.
Now as a teacher, Bindi’s passion on the mat derives from the connection and alignment to self, and how focused practice of yoga allows peace, tranquility and stillness in the chaos. She loves the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit, and the strength and centredness it brings to herself and others. During each class, Bindi weaves a depth and connection that leaves you feeling nurtured, connected and alive within your body, mind and heart.
It is Bindi’s ‘bliss’ to share, teach and continue to study for life mastery through Yoga. Her classes are powerful, creative and fun with such rewarding attention to detail.
Rebecca
Rebecca has been teaching yoga as her full time vocation since 2013 and began her practice in 2003. Her classes have been described by her students as coming from a place of deep understanding, passionate, authentic, quirky, unique, powerful and intuitive. Her initial formal study was conducted over 12 months in Australia, from there she went on to spend 5 months of intensive training in North India and her study is ongoing. Inspiration for her classes is drawn from a belief in the freedom of expression, the nature of the Indian deities and the polarity of the feminine and masculine energies. She has a soft spot for Shiva the destroyer of illusion, Mahakali the Goddess of time and death and heavy metal. You might find her free form dancing by herself and she also engages in strength training to complement her yoga practice. Rebecca teaches the yoga of Light and Dark, she loves the contrast and paradoxes of yoga and tantric philosophy.

After spending the last 7 months in Costa Rica, immersed in the local yoga community Helena has grown and transformed as a student and teacher. Diving into yoga festivals and retreats, working with local yoga studios and community classes, women’s circles and devotional ceremonies she has been absolutely humbled by the immense power in the magical lands of Central America. This journey has further ignited her passion for connection to the natural world and inspired the renewed motivation to build a life of concious creation and community and bring this back to Australia. Helena has dedicated herself to the continued deepening of her own practice and studies. She is committed to sharing and spreading her love and appreciation of practice.

Kate Collins
Kate’s yoga journey started in 2013. Suffering for many years with depression, anger and anxiety, the birth of her second child and the pre and post natal depression that accompanied the pregnancy, sent her searching for ways to not be a slave to her mind.
During that first class, her whole life made sense. A light, a knowing, a purpose lit up in her and she has been practising and studying yoga and healing modalities since. She knew 100% in her heart that this was her path, and that she would one day share her studies and experiences with others.Her classes will take you on a deep inward journey and have said to be like a moving meditation. She creates a safe, nurturing and fun space for people to be less in the external world, and more in their internal world. People often leave her classes, feeling deeply connected, peaceful and grounded within themselves. Kate’s transparency and authenticity creates a space people feel safe to accept all of themselves, exactly as they are. A space for them to just be. Kate has immersed herself into studying and embodying various Yoga Lineages and Healing modalities.
Sonja Maplestone
After learning shoulder stands from her Mum as a child (likely due to Jane Fonda’s workout videos), Sonja rediscovered yoga in her early twenties and has been hooked ever since (15+ years). As a mother of two young children, she is passionate about yoga for women’s health and wellbeing – having witnessed the positive impact a regular yoga practice has had on her life, pre and post pregnancies.
She has trained over the last five years in various yoga lineages (Hatha/ Viniyoga/ Iyengar/ Kundalini) with leading local teachers (Leanne Davis, Celia Roberts, Suzanne Swan, Sam Lindsay German), and taught hatha and prenatal yoga for studios around Brisbane, as well as her own weekly ‘Yoga in the Park’ classes in Red Hill. Her intention is to teach mindful movement with safety, warmth and clarity, helping to restore calm and balance by activating the body’s rest-and-digest nervous system response.
