Andy Freeman

Andy began practicing meditation in his early 20’s after completing a Diploma of Metaphysics at Chiara College Crows Nest

Then one day he found a Yoga studio and his life completely changed. ‘I felt so much physical and emotional healing from that first yoga class I became a dedicated student and later a teacher to help guide others towards their higher potential’

Andy is a 500HR Yoga Teacher at Byron Bay Yoga Centre and has trained with Yoga Teachers, John Ogilvy, Bec Issacs, Bryan Kest, Noah Maze, Nicole Walsh and more.

He studied Meditation at the Australian Centre of Meditation & Mindfulness, TM Centre Sydney and the Sydney Meditation Centre. Andy also has a Masters in NLP Coaching and Hypnotherapy

Andy presented at the NSW Health Conference on Mindfulness and the Awakening Abundance Conference. He has worked with troubled Youth in Yoga Programs, runs Workplace Wellness Events for various Penrith Businesses and has over 2,000 hours of teaching experience

“My goal is to enhance the quality of life for every student that enters a class. Yoga gave me so much personal power and confidence so I like to teach yoga movement and breath to be conscious and embodied, bringing the practice closer to your own experience. I encourage students to not underestimate themselves, develop a positive mind and body and learn presence from within their own practice”

Anita Wong

Anita has been in the yoga world for ten years as a teacher, training in Vniyoga, Hatha, Vinyasa flow, Restorative and her favourite, Yin

She also runs regular workshops and private classes. She teaches from a functional, person-centred perspective; fit the pose around the person rather than fit the person into the pose

Her training in yoga and psychotherapy blend into an embodied practice of being present and curious about one’s body, mind, heart and relationships. Classes are open-level and suitable for all levels of practitioners.

Miha Zotta

Miha loves teaching a warm and nourishing flow and believes in the beautiful moments that reveal themselves on the mat

“To me Yoga is like coming home. A place where i feel warm, nurtured and step into my own power”

Yoga came into Miha’s life when she needed something extraordinary and human and she found it on her mat. She discovered a path of personal healing and forgiveness feeling an instant sense of peace and connection

“I’ve had long struggle with anxiety and the techniques I’ve learned through my Yoga practice have not only reminded me how to

breathe, to move, and to think… but above all, allowed me to flourish in my life
