Role - Studio founder Business - Blue Indigo Yoga
I can’t image my life without yoga in it, yoga is my grounding, my landing place and it brings me home to myself when I am feeling overwhelmed or needing some ME-time .
When I am teaching or practising yoga I feel I am at home in my authentic self. Yoga has taught me listen to my body, it has helped me immensely with my own healing journey and to recover and manage my auto immune issues and adrenal fatigue. Because of this one of my main teachings to my students is to always listen to their bodies and to adapt their yoga practice to their daily energy levels.
I began Blue Indigo Yoga in 2012 at the Port Macdonnell netball rooms and then it evolved into a little church in Mount Gambier 2015 and late 2017 our gorgeous Studio upstairs in Ripley Arcade was opened.
I have since trained with Zenergy Yoga and have completed kids yoga therapy as well as basic and advanced kids courses. Plus Yin yoga, Advanced Yin, Charkra Vinyasa and Fascia Vinyasa trainings.
My style of yoga has evolved over the years to include these various teachings, and I love creating well balanced yoga classes to help students deeply connect to themselves in their yoga practice. Often incorporating functional, mindful and intuitive movement, to allow students to learn to listen to their bodies and move accordingly.
Yoga is so much more than just the physical practice and through the regular practice of yoga, we can delve deeper into our own selves and the mystery within.

Hayley
Role - Slow flow instructor Business -Happy and Healthy with Hayley
My yoga journey (so far)..... Funnily enough I hated yoga the first time I tried it as part of a pre-season netball program - my body was SO tight, I couldn’t touch my toes, & sitting & breathing felt like torture!
Fast forward a couple of years, a knee injury that meant no competitive sport or running for a while, & I was needing something......I tried yoga again, mainly for the benefits of strengthening so I could get back to running ASAP, & within a few sessions I was hooked. What stared as something that I thought was purely physical, turned into much more - Yoga is like that, you come for one reason, & something else happens. I practiced for a number of years before deciding I wanted to share the benefits I had experienced with others.
I completed my initial teacher training with ‘tribe yoga’ in India, & have since trained under a number of different teachers & different styles of yoga. I generally teach a strong, alignment based vinyasa class, incorporating pranayama & yoga philosophy.
Yoga really is a practice that offers so much -it deepens awareness of self & enhances our connection to all aspects of life....you just feel better for it. I’ve come to love teaching - it gives me a big reason to show up, keep learning, & keep growing as a person & a teacher...its just the best.
