EMILY SORENSEN​

I am really passionate about sharing the benefits that Yoga can provide on all aspects of the body, mind and spirit. My own experiences with stress and anxiety together with an ongoing desire for self-improvement have been the catalysts for both developing and deepening my Yoga practice. This practice really has created a positive transformation on my overall health and wellbeing. It is for this reason that I genuinely wish to share the practice of Yoga with others. I believe absolutely everyone can benefit from Yoga in one way or another. I aim to keep a balance in all of my classes of mindfulness, spirituality and challenging physical work so that there is something for everyone. 
I have been teaching in Newcastle since 2014 and have completed 500 hours of teacher training in both Australia and Overseas. 
I look forward to connecting with you in one of my classes, Om Shanti!

I 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
​

Discovering Yoga in 2008, I began to find a deep connection with myself through my practice.
I have since completed a 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in India and an abundance of workshops in Australia. I also offer Ka Huna and Lomi Lomi massage at Twine Yoga Studio by appointment.
​Join me on the mat for Friday Funky flow and Saturday morning Yin. 
​Through my own direct experience suffering from grief, anxiety and depression, I am passionate about sharing what I have learnt on my own healing journey so far, with Huna (Hawaiian) Healing Arts, Yoga and Meditation; connecting with and supporting others on theirs.

After an 18 year corporate career in training and development,
I knew my 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.

RIKKI IWANOWSKY
​

​Rikki brings an infectious energy into her yoga classes. She is passionate about creating authenticity on every level of her being and lighting this flame in her students as well. When you come to her classes you will experience the instruction as if you were having a conversation with a dear friend, because you are - and that friend is your body! Rikki's driving goal is to guide her students to listen to and respect their bodies as their primary and most important teacher. All of the wisdom, all of the experience, and all of the conditioning of your life is stored in the cells of your body! When practised mindfully, Yoga is a tool that we can use to help us see what we have stored in the body and, in time, to become free of what's causing us pain, and to start to open to the possibilities of love.
A bodyworker and energy healer as well as a yoga instructor, Rikki takes care to spend time with her students to help them find depth and flow in their bodies through intuitive postural alignment.

REBECCA POPP
​

To me yoga is about developing a deeper connection with self, community and our Mother Earth. I draw inspiration for my classes from my love for the ocean and the natural environment.
Yoga, to me means belonging, connection, friendships and growing, not only for myself but for the people I connect with in day to day life.
Fascinated by the deeper learnings, culture and traditions of yoga in India, I trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa style, Pranayama and Power Flow with "Radhika Yoga" in Kovalam, India.
Since then I have continued to expand my knowledge by attending various workshops, retreats and teacher trainings; including Yin yoga with the primary focus being on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I bring to each class an infusion of breath, movement and a desire to share what I have learned so that it may encourage people to find their unique self.
