Rani Shah – Connection to oneself through movement has always been a pivotal interest for Rani. A dancer since young, she began teaching Belly Dance, Hip hop and Latin dance classes in her early teens and was first drawn to yoga to improve her endurance and flexibility. The surprising clarity and deep connection she experienced after each class, however, was profound. 

She has since spent years teaching yoga and movement both Australia-wide and internationally across Singapore and Indonesia.

She believes a strong movement practice has the innate ability to heal and cultivate powerful, life-force energy. She holds over 500 YTT hours collectively in the practices of Vinyasa, Hatha, Animal Flow and Embodied Movement. In class, Rani loves to combine functional and somatic movements with structural and energetic alignment to create a conscious and intelligent practice to deepen the in-body experience of any level of practitioner.

Mercia – Movement has always been a large part of Mercia’s life. An athlete all through her young years, here yoga practise began at age 13, growing and changing with her as she moved through life. 

With a BSc in Physiology and Nutrition, Mercia dove into the mechanics of the body and the systems that support us. Through yoga, Mercia found a way to fully integrate connection of the body, mind and spirit in one powerful practise.

Passionate about a holistic approach to health, Mercia has been facilitating Women’s Circles and community events for years, encouraging connection to self and to the local community. Mercia holds 450 YTT hours in the Ashtanga- Vinyasa system working on supporting ancient tradition with modern Science and Anatomy knowledge . She advocates for yoga as a life path, physical practise and system of ethics.
