myoga is methodical, mindful yoga classes

Through my personal yoga practice I began to bump into deeply held attitudes in myself and face limitations not only physically, but also the challenge of being in an aging body, which is both wonderful and difficult.

Becoming a yoga teacher revealed my yearning to know more and inquire deeply into yoga. I am grateful to be part of Kellie Brett’s Iyengar mentoring program and ongoing professional development. Kellie creates a clear and safe forum, to dive deeply and explore as a teacher.

I delight in the opportunities the students trust and inquiries bring. As a teacher, I offer a student focused, simple and direct approach.

Yvette came to Iyengar Yoga as a child in New Zealand and this style of yoga really resonated with her right from the beginning. Her teaching journey started when she moved to Perth in 2014 and she graduated as a Level One Iyengar teacher in 2021.

Yvette has a strong biomechanical knowledge through her work as a Remedial Massage therapist. She understands and appreciates the importance of diverse movement, stability and understanding and being aware of one’s own body and mind.

She sees Iyengar Yoga as the perfect path to rehabilitation, health and wellbeing. This inspires her to continue with her practice, attend classes and further training and to learn and grow as a teacher.

Gary discovered yoga in 1998, initially to improve his meditation practice. His curiosity in yoga began to grow as he discovered its many physical and psychological benefits.

He has been teaching since 2012 and is certified as a level 2 Iyengar teacher. Gary is dedicated to the life-long journey of developing his practice and teaching skills.

He also has an interest in teaching yoga for men who often have particular challenges and may feel uncomfortable attending a general mixed class.

Yoga is for everybody, and Melanie loves to share Yoga with people from all walks of life and at different life stages. She is a Level 2 accredited Iyengar Yoga Teacher with over 25 years of practice, and holds additional accreditation in Yoga for Birth, Postnatal Yoga and Yoga for Children. Originally a cellist and musician, she now works predominantly in the field of mental health and crisis care and has a particular interest in supporting women, children and families through the arts, yoga, and mindfulness.

Melanie teacher-trained in Melbourne with Peter Scott and Sue Everett. She taught at their studio amongst others, and also worked for a number of years with MAMA (Midwives and Mothers Australia), teaching Yoga for Birth and Mums and Bubs Yoga alongside midwives and other allied health practitioners. Mel combines her passion for yogic philosophy and practice with her joy for life and genuine appreciation of each person’s unique expression. She brings to her classes her experience with therapy yoga, leading groups and one-on-one work.

“As a midwife, I have genuinely seen a change in my clients who attend Mel’s prenatal classes both in emotional and physical readiness for birth.” (Kelly Langford, MAMA Director and Midwife)

I was first drawn to Yoga in 1992 when some friends urged me to try it out with the words “come on, it's good for you”. Those words hold true regardless of age or ability and I’ve been on the yogic path since then with gratitude to some inspirational teachers.

On a personal level, Yoga provides me with a steadiness and confidence when faced with life’s challenges, as well as a restorative and quiet space when I am in need of rest and rejuvenation. Strengthening the body and calming the mind – I feel so blessed to have this yoga in my life, and delight in sharing its benefits with others.

I have studied a number of different styles of Yoga, but my certification and method of teaching is in the Iyengar style. I teach with enthusiasm and an awareness that everyone is on their own unique path and that how you experience your body one day might be completely different on another day. My aim is to safely guide your journey and let you leave the yoga space feeling uplifted and ready for whatever comes your way.
