Georgie Priest- Teacher

My Yoga journey started when I was 22. After years of ignoring the messages from my overused body (thanks to distance running!), I reluctantly joined a friend for my first yoga class. Was it love at first deep breath? No, not really - the breathing was actually the hardest part! But class by class, I began to connect the dots. My body felt better than ever, and more importantly, I finally found a sense of balance in my life.

In 2012, I attended my first yoga teacher training and have since been fortunate to learn from many talented and inspiring teachers, both locally and internationally. My years spent at Yoga Sanctuary under the wonderful guidance of Justine Wheelans ignited my passion for teaching beginners and creating an environment that supports all bodies to benefit from yoga.

Yoga has carried me through many life phases - from adolescence, through pregnancies, and into motherhood. Each phase has brought new learnings and a deeper appreciation for the practice. I'm grateful for all the insights I've gained, both as a teacher and as a student. We are always learning, and we all start somewhere. I look forward to welcoming you to the studio and supporting you on your own yoga journey.

Lisa Fabri- Teacher

I was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga in 2000 and I was immediately hooked by the challenging physical practice blending in breath and spirituality. In 2003, I decided to train as a teacher.

Later I discovered Anusara Yoga through Katie Lane and embraced this slower flowing style with a stronger focus on alignment. Through my curiosity for all things yogic my practice has evolved but I still call on these two styles as my main influencers. I embrace the changing nature of Yoga blending the ancient with current science.

A gypsy at heart, I have travelled a lot and taught yoga in New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, the UK and Italy. I love the connection yoga creates in a room of people no matter where you are in the world. It is a great leveller and encourages us to remember we are all the same.

Yoga is not a magic cure but a lifelong companion and practice to take you wherever you go. For me yoga is about feeling and being, rather than thinking and analysing. It helps you stay true to your authentic self no matter what highs or lows you are experiencing.

My goal as a teacher is to show that yoga is for everybody. I believe it is about accepting ourselves and becoming more comfortable in our own skin. It helps us get to know ourselves better on all levels. Through my yoga practice I have had profound experiences and I enjoy sharing whatever I have learnt, and hopefully facilitating people to find their own yoga path. I am grateful to be able to share something that brings me so much peace, strength and contentment.
