"I recently purchased the 10 the day introductory pass and absolutely loved it. I've never been into yoga but I'm hooked now! Briony is such a caring, patient teacher and the space she has created in the studio is beautiful. I left each session feeling sooo relaxed and invigorated. I would definitely recommend Twine to everyone.."

Jenny Lee Cummings

Yoga Teacher

Jenny first discovered yoga through pure intrigue about 8-9 years ago. The physiological effects were instant however, it wasn’t until a few years later after returning from living overseas, suffering a devastating loss in my life and also a bad injury that I really delved into the depths of my yoga practice. I knew in order to get through such a trying time I needed not a mask or a temporary bandaid, I needed to find my true self and here is where yoga truly arrived in my life- the physical spiritual and emotional relationships began to unite. From here I went on to complete 500hr teacher training both in Australia and overseas. I think yoga can mean different things for different people- and that’s a beautiful thing.  For me, yoga is being in touch with myself in its purest form. It’s an honest practice of self-acceptance, self-love and discovery through a union of physical asana, pranayama and meditation- all three techniques equally as integral.

Sarah Truman

Yoga Teacher

Sarah knew after an 18 year corporate career in training and development, her soul was being called in a different direction.
My Yoga journey began 6 years ago by immersing myself in a 40-day challenge, already I knew this was going to be a big part of my life. I originally felt pulled to teach yoga to children, especially to tweens and teens.
After completing my 300-hours of teacher training with 'My Health Yoga' I felt a strong pull to teach adult classes.
I am passionate about living in alignment with the season and listening to our bodies. 
Coming to the mat to practice is a key part of my day where I get to practice self-love. It is where I carve out time for me, to connect with my breath and to my true soul being. I have a strong desire for everyone to experience the benefits of yoga and to experience that feeling at the end of class where you feel like you have arrived home.

Nikki Grandjean

Yoga Teacher

Yoga has had such a profound impact on Nikki's life, it has become part of her and has helped her to grow and evolve in such a beautiful way. Initially, I was drawn to the practice and continued to show up to class yet, I was unaware of how it was weaving its way into my life off the mat as well. I was always seeking something more, a greater understanding of life and it has been through yoga that my world has made sense. That's what I love about it. Even if you are not consciously aware of all it has to offer, by continuing to show up on your mat with an open mind, the rest simply unfolds.
I have learnt how to quiet my mind, tune into my body, surrender and move through life with greater ease. It has helped me to know and understand my true Self and to connect with the world in a deeper way. It is because of this practice that I know compassion and kindness, I know what it is to truly love myself and others and I have experienced the sweetness of joy. I hope to be able to share these teachings so that you too can experience the benefits of yoga, wherever you're at when you step on to your mat.
