Kate’s calm presence and healing touch can transform energy, leaving you feeling lighter, centred, and more grounded. It’s the kind of experience where you walk in feeling heavy, and walk out with a sense of clarity, calm, and renewal.
Kimberley
"I first discovered yoga 15 years ago as a teenager in High school. Suffering from years of negative body image and lack of self-acceptance, it was in those early years of practising I came to realise that the practice of yoga is so much more than striving to change the physical body but instead a chance to be curious about who you are. A practice of self-compassion and kindness a space I longed for in my teenage years that over time allowed me to develop greater self-discovery and acceptance in its purest & rawest form.
In 2016 I decided it was time to explore the world of yoga a little deeper so I began studying with Mark O'Brien and his amazing team at Qi Health & Yoga Sydney and obtained my Yoga Teacher Training and Philosophy Diploma. Over the past five years of teaching throughout various locations on the Central Coast, I have been honoured to continue studying and teaching many styles of yoga and meditation alongside some of the most inspiring teachers who have shared with me their wisdom, knowledge and personal journeys.
As a Yoga teacher, it is my mission to empower others by continuing to study and share the tools I have gathered along the way that allow space for conscious healing whilst gaining a deeper understanding of both our individual personal practice and ability.
Yoga philosophy has provided me with an everyday devotional and grounding path of self-care and healing and is again now through my journey into motherhood. When I am not on the mat you will find me exploring nature and adventuring with my family.
Melanie
Originally from Sydney, Melanie first discovered the healing powers of yoga in 2012 while living in Jakarta, Indonesia. Trying to find an escape from the chaos of a big city, she stumbled across her first yoga class in the tranquil home of her first yoga teacher, Dini Maharani. Melanie discovered a positive way to move her body and calm her mind. From then on she was hooked, and she brought her yoga practice back home.
In 2018 Melanie completed her 200hr Teacher Training with Nicole Walsh and Rod Galbraith, learning primarily the Vinyasa/Hatha styles. She then continued her studies and went on to complete her yin and restorative yoga training.
Melanie loves the multi-dimensional aspects of yoga and the way it can heal, restore and re-energise - both mentally and physically. Her classes focus on alignment and the deep
connection to breath, and she loves sharing the healing power of yoga with others.

Tina
500-hour certified Yoga Teacher with advanced training in Hatha and Yin Yoga, including a 60-hour Yin Yoga specialisation. Her teaching is centred around breath awareness, mindful movement and gentle playfulness, creating a grounded space for students to reconnect with themselves.
Her yoga journey began later in life after deeply transformative retreat experiences in Bali and India. While juggling a busy corporate role in Sydney, Tina completed her 200-hour Hatha Teacher Training at the Byron Bay Yoga Centre in 2018. That decision reshaped her path and strengthened her belief in yoga as a practice that restores balance, clarity and presence.
Alongside her studio teaching, Tina also shares Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga, blending mindful flow with the natural rhythm of the ocean — a reflection of her love for the outdoors and her calm, intuitive approach to practice.
Tina’s classes are nurturing, uplifting and grounded in authenticity. She hopes each student leaves feeling a little more connected, spacious and supported on their own journey. Her favourite quote is:
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.” – The Bhagavad Gita
