VINYASA YOGA • SLOW FLOW YOGA • YIN & YOGA NIDRA • CHAIR YOGA • SUNRISE YOGA

  • Lis has been teaching Yoga since 2008 when she completed her first teacher training in India. This journey ignited her love of travel, adventure, connection and learning. Over the years of practicing and studying many aspects of Yoga and other movement practices, she has experienced the profound effect it can have on the mental, spiritual and emotional self. Her inspiration is to bring this to each of her participants in her classes. Lis has speciality training in Yin Yoga, Chair Yoga, Pranayama (breathing techniques), Pilates Mat and Reformer.

    In her Yoga & Pilates classes Lis employs an in-depth anatomical and physiological knowledge gained from her qualifications and experience in Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation. Lis is able to apply this knowledge to students in her classes to ensure that each student is safe and participating in an effective practice that offers balance, healing and nourishment.

    As an Exercise Physiologist, Lis specialises in neurological rehabilitation and see’s her clients privately in the studio and their home environment.

  • Lana has been immersed in the teachings of Yoga for over half of her life and passing on the teachings herself since 2011. Throughout this journey, she has continually deepened her knowledge and passion for the physiological, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of yoga.

    In her group classes, students are guided through grounding creative sequencing, mindful alignment, meditative flow, philosophical reflection, pranayama, and guided meditation.

    Lana creates a safe, inclusive, and grounded space for students to explore yogic wisdom and movement science. Her teaching invites practitioners of all levels, mobilities, and lifestyles to connect more deeply with their bodies, breath, and inner awareness.

RESTORATIVE YOGA

  • Kate is an Easty local and has been teaching out of her home studio for many years, and now brings her “restorative with an edge” practice to Gather, giving students a chance to slow down, rest and open their bodies.

    Kate’s personal practice initially focused on the physical benefits of yoga - predominantly stretching and movement after running or gym sessions. It wasn’t until after 20 years in the NSW Police, and a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Injury, did Kate’s practice go deeper, supporting mental health and trauma recovery. 

    In 2018 she completed Foundational Teacher Training with Ray of Light Yoga in Bulli - along with her co-teacher (and service dog), Gidget!  In 2023 they completed Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Sukha Mukha Yoga in Bondi, followed by an IRest Meditation certification.

SLOW FLOW

  • Cass is known for her calm, grounding presence and deeply supportive approach to movement.

    Originally from Canberra, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Wild Self Yoga in Crescent Head and has since taught across a range of studio and community settings.

    Cass’s classes focus on balance, spinal health and mindful, intentional movement. With an emphasis on accessibility, she offers thoughtful variations to meet each student where they are, allowing for a practice that feels both supportive and sustainable.

    Her approach is gentle yet purposeful—rather than focusing on advanced postures, Cass prioritises helping students build strength, stability and connection within their own bodies.

    Whether guiding a slow flow or a more nurturing, restorative style class, Cass creates an environment that encourages you to slow down, regulate the nervous system and reconnect. Her teaching is grounded in presence over perfection, inviting students to move in a way that feels honest, nourishing and aligned with everyday life.
