As a professional dancer, Hayley first approached yoga from a physical standpoint, striving for extreme strength and flexibility of her body. But when she experienced an unexpected tragedy, life as she knew it cracked open. Her practice taught her to observe and accept – and became her salvation.

In 2012 she opened Beyondbeing Yoga, a popular studio in Subiaco with a rotation of extremely qualified and experienced teachers. Her vision? To help others through the power of yoga, just as it helped her.

Hayley’s classes offer the discipline and dynamism of dance. Using her in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, she leads a nuanced practice that gives a transformative body, mind and soul experience.

With intelligent sequences designed to help you expand every inch of your being, Hayley’s teaching holds a lyrical quality of concise instruction and specific energetic cues, all the while offering philosophical meditations that guide you into higher states of consciousness.

Hayley’s classes are for anyone curious about how they can open their mind while strengthening their body – and lead life with a greater sense of meaning and connection.

“In a culture that discourages introspection, it takes a certain sensitivity to practice yoga in the first place. It also takes courage to reconcile what it means to stay sensitive in this world without losing a sense of self. Through my practice, I’ve come to understand that learning goes well beyond the intellectual, and through trust and faith in this spiritual realm, I walk this Earth knowing there is always potential to learn and grow, no matter what arises.” – Eric Schwarz

“Yoga for me is about exercising our mindfulness through movement. When we can relax the mind, the body can also relax. Practice is for everyone. Whether we move or sit for any class, our practice is complete as long as we focus our attention on the power of breath and meditation.”

Inspired by a desire to alleviate the mental unrest and emotional turmoil that so frequently permeate our urban lifestyle, Tess endeavours to share with her student’s tools realised through her own practice and study, to encourage self-inquiry and self-support.

She offers a dynamic and explorative flow class, and a warm and nurturing Yin class. Her goal is to provide a safe space for students to decompress, to connect with their bodies and breath, and to explore the layers of conditioning influencing their mental wellbeing and anxieties.

I started Yoga when I was seeking a way to heal physically and emotionally from a serious scooter accident in 2010. Yoga let me fall in love with the world. I’m obsessed with yoga philosophy and anatomy and spend a lot of my free time reading and learning about it all. I first knew I wanted to be a Yoga instructor in a Yoga Nidra class at The Yoga Barn in Bali in 2015. I needed a break from my Chef job and decided to take my first trip to Bali and heard that Ubud was the place to be. I was deeply moved by this incredible teacher, a Jamaican woman called Nadine McNiel. She was so powerful, yet so gentle, and was able to bring me into a state of presence that I had never experienced. I thought to myself, I really want to facilitate this for people. I have a home yin and meditation practice and I train with a Personal Trainer once a week. I live right next to South Beach and I try to get into the ocean every morning before work. It’s a really cruisey lifestyle here compared with other places I’ve lived, like Los Angeles and Bolivia.

Oli walked into his first yoga studio over 13 years ago and hasn’t looked back. It quickly became something essential for his mental and physical well-being. He has now taught thousands of classes over the last seven years – including workshops, retreats, co-facilitating teacher trainings and organising special events.

He has built a reputation for clear and articulate teaching, with a knack for anatomical queuing – his classes are always challenging but simple and easy to follow.

From his perspective, yoga should be straightforward; something you can understand not only how – but why. With Oli, you get practical know-how and an understanding of why we do things the way we do them and how to apply that knowledge.

Oli also keeps busy as a musician, artist and BJJ enthusiast. He’s found that these elements all influence each other in unusual and unexpected ways. But mostly, he’s learned not to take it all too seriously. If you can enjoy what you do, you’ll be motivated, feel less pressure to “perform” and enhance your experience and connection to self.

I attended my first Bikram yoga class in early 2009. I spent the previous 18 years to that dancing competitively and professionally and was looking for something to keep my fitness levels and flexibility up. I remember my first class was a bit of a haze, I wasn’t quite sure what had just happened however the next morning I woke up with a calmness and clarity I found hard to explain. This is where my yoga journey began. I very quickly began to notice not only the physical benefits of yoga but the overwhelming mental benefits. I begin to practise regularly and my love for yoga has only grown as I learn more about yoga and as a consequence, I continue to learn more about myself. I was lucky enough to attend the Sumits Yoga Teacher Training course which commenced in April 2016. The 12 weeks of teacher training were life-changing for me and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity for all I learnt and to now be teaching what I love so much. I am a calmer and better person for doing yoga. I love that yoga brings people from all different walks of life together and I am privileged and honoured to share what I have learnt with students. Teaching yoga is extremely rewarding and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity. They say yoga is intended to be practised for a lifetime, I intend to practise and teach for my lifetime I feel it’s what I am here for.
