I first opened the doors to Yoga students in Tasmania in  February 2003 .  Prior to that my journey began with Iyengar Yoga  in Sydney in 1987 , then in 1991 I trained as an Oki Yoga teacher  (Ryoho Yoga). In 1993,  whilst teaching, I was drawn to learning Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga , with Eileen Hall of Yoga Moves, with Graeme and Leonie Northfield of Queensland and with Sri K Pattabhi Jois of Mysore India.  The late Pattabhi was the guru who was responsible for consolidating the teachings of this practice and making it accessible to the rest of the world .  My training in Ashtanga yoga was extensive, doing classes 6 mornings a week for many years, taking me up to the 3rd series before being eligible to teach Ashtanga.  I draw from my background and training first as a Shiatsu massage therapist and now as a psychotherapist to facilitate the individual experiences of all who attend yoga classes at The Yoga Point . Today we have regular beginners courses, and classes for different  levels.  We also offer Yoga therapy, Private  lessons,  Restorative Hatha Yoga, Strength in Yoga and  Psychotherapy  through Yoga.

Throughout the year we run workshops, weekend intensives and retreats. I look forward to seeing you on the sticky mat.
