Noelle
Noelle began her journey into yoga in the early 1990s to help ward off injuries from martial arts training and other sports. She soon became hooked, committing to a daily practice until it eventually took precedence over any other activity. She found a wonderful sense of wellbeing that has stayed with her ever since.
A desire to deepen her understanding of the history and philosophy of yoga led to teacher training in early 2015. She completed 750 hours with Greenwood Yoga Academy and a further 150 hours with The Yoga vine to study Yin Yoga & Anatomy.
Initially practicing Iyengar for many years, she enjoy the focus on anatomical alignment that it taught her and loves finding ways to adapt a practice to suit everybody (and every body). She teaches many forms of Yo- ga taking elements of many styles and lineages sometimes mixing in a little movement magic to create a mixed bag of calm, strong Yoga to help people move more comfortably, kindly and competently.

Faye
Faye joins the HOM team as a yoga teacher, reiki healer and master NLP coach. Drawing on this experience, her classes focus on building a connection to self, through the relationship between mind and body.
Initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits, her practice has deepened over the past 15 years to have a much deeper spiritual layer.
She’s been able to draw on these lessons during challenging periods of her life to find inner peace, clarity and compassion for others.
Her Yin classes are a beautiful opportunity to tune inwards, while exploring the relationship between science and spirituality.

Lew
Lew’s yoga journey started about ten years ago with a 90-minute Bikram Yoga session as a way to sort out hamstring stiffness to be a better long-distance cyclist. He did not know what had hit him, but I kept going back!
“I was introduced to the practice of Yin Yoga by a friend and yoga mentor as a complement to the more active yang styles of yoga, and then went on to complete my Yin Yoga teacher training in beautiful Bali, trained by Joe Phee and Jo Barnett in the functional approach developed by Paul Grilley.
I see a yin yoga as a practice of a gentle internal focus, approaching life with a spiritual mindset involving the body in this practice. It's more than just the physical, more than meditation, it’s a commitment to a way of life.
My approach to Yin is not teaching postures or shapes but to teaching people – we are all different and my role as a facilitator is to help guide students to find their way to a shape or to make sense of movement or settle into a reflective state that is relevant and accessible to them.”

Amber Day
I began practicing yoga about 10 years ago to help combat pain in my body. It wasn't until a few years later, when I was going through a stressful time in my life, that I dove deeper into my practice and began to realise that we are so much more than just the physical body.
In 2020, my own personal healing journey began which led me to seek a more spiritual parth and inspired me to complete my 200hr Teacher Training. From there, I also became a certified reiki practitioner and sound healer.
My teaching style has taken a softer approach with more focus on connecting the body, mind and soul. I love weaving sound and essential oils into my classes so that students leave feeling a replenished and rejuvenated.

Shannon
From a young age Shannon has been drawn to expressive movement. After spending 15 years of professional dance, she naturally progressed into more intuitive movement, which led her to her own yoga practice and flow arts.
In 2015, she facilitated her first cacao meditation circle down by the beach and fell in love with the sense of community, holding a space like that could bring for people. She continued to host a number of events including sound healing, Reiki offerings, women's circles and even plastic-free/waste-free lifestyle workshops. From this, she knew she wanted to incorporate movement into her offerings.
After completing her 200h Yoga Teacher training, she has continued with a number of additional educational courses including, prenatal/postnatal, Yin and Mindfulness Certifications.
She has a strong passion for creating meaningful flows, with every movement having a purpose to serve the breath and nurture the bodies natural intelligence. She enjoys incorporating mindfulness techniques into her classes and lately sprinkling light knowledge of yoga philosophy to honour the practice fully.
