Certified  yoga teacher

 

Dar's journey into yoga began with a simple yet profound goal: to make yoga inclusive for everyone, particularly those who might feel intimidated or fearful. After spending 15 years in the corporate world, Dar transitioned into yoga teaching, bringing along a deep understanding of the stresses and challenges faced by professionals. Trained amidst the serene landscapes of Bali, Dar's mission has always been to create a safe haven where individuals can explore yoga without judgment or pressure.

Dar's teaching philosophy centers around the concept of "sukha," which translates to "ease" or "joy" in Sanskrit. This is a strong believe that yoga should impart a sense of ease and joy in life, both on and off the mat. As a result, Dar's classes emphasize not only physical postures but also mindfulness, breathwork, and relaxation techniques designed to nourish the body, mind, and soul.

Eagerly, Dar looks forward to welcoming individuals onto the mat, ready to share this enriching journey. With love and light, Dar aims to foster a community where everyone can experience the transformative power of yoga.

Jude began her yoga journey attending classes as an escape from her busy life in the film industry. For many years yoga helped support her wellbeing whilst working long hours making costumes. Yoga became her anchor, it helped support her mental and physical wellbeing and at the beginning of COVID Jude decided it was time to renavigate her path after experiencing a lot of burn out and so in 2021 attended Byron Yoga Centre to complete her Cert IV in Yoga Teaching.
Jude is particularly passionate about womens health and how Yoga can support women in their many cycles of life. Jude focuses on Pranayama and meditation and will make time for these in her classes, weaving yoga philosophy into her teachings and inviting students to really tap into their mind as well as their body. Her classes are about nurturing the spirit as well as the body, its about how you feel not how you look in each pose.
Jude hopes to create classes of self-enquiry, a place where students can feel safe and at ease within themselves, where they can be guided through asana to help create a feeling of liberation from within.
Jude is excited to continue her own journey and learn and expand in her teachings.

Certified yoga teacher

 

Originally from Hong Kong, Shirley spent years navigating the demands of a fast-paced, high-pressure lifestyle. Yoga became her anchor — a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and clear her busy mind. Over time, yoga transformed the way she moves, the way she manages stress, and the way she connects with herself.

Now based in Sydney, Shirley teaches a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa styles, with an emphasis on breath awareness and intentional flow. She believes that flowing with purpose helps build strength from the inside out — and reconnect us with who we truly are.

Her classes are designed to help students tune into their bodies and anchor their awareness in the present moment. Through mindful movement, breathwork, and stillness, Shirley creates a supportive space for releasing tension and cultivating clarity and resilience.

Shirley welcomes students of all levels — from curious beginners to seasoned practitioners — who bring an open mind and a willingness to learn. Her teaching encourages self-inquiry and growth, both on and off the mat, empowering students to carry the essence of their practice into everyday life.
