Meet your teacher

Tania-Portrait-Head-Shot-Smile-Glasses-Ponytail-Wave-Hand-Elephant-Art-Background

Tania is an easy-going middle-aged mum of three witty, vivacious and whimsical youths. She revels in their development and growth, and credits them with her ongoing desire to learn and discover more about her own self, and what “makes others tick”.

Drawn to yoga with the assumption that it would merely be a gentle physical practice, Tania was surprised to realise that yoga was a pathway to knowing, an opportunity to feel real, and a teacher that constantly challenged her… and still does to this day.

With over 13 years of practice, 1300+ hours of teaching experience and many, many more hours spent in research and further education, Tania interweaves traditional yoga practices with modern somatic therapies, backed by her knowledge of psychology, physiology and nutrition, and her ongoing passion to help and support others as they, too, explore self development along this bumpy, winding, and unknown path we call life.

Tania loves the bush and the sea. She plays board and card games with her kids, listens to podcasts while attending to domestic duties, and drives the “long way around” to familiar places for the novelty. Tania plays classical and modern piano, loves a good fantasy novel series and takes great joy in witnessing the antics of her two kitties. A second generation Aussie of European descent, garlic and paprika runs through her veins.

What students say

You can tell that Tania loves doing what she does. (She gives) plenty of support and encouragement and the small (group) sizes are just perfect. Tania is such a genuine and approachable person.
