Our Teachers

Cynthia shares her yoga practice as a path to connection, peace and strength. As co-owner of Commune, she brings warmth and authenticity to her teaching, guiding students to discover their own embodied wisdom on the mat.

Shell's love for Yoga began 6 years ago when she was in her mid 40's and she soon realised the magic and power of the practice.

After a few months of dedicated practice she committed to Vinyasa and Yin training at Warrior One Yoga with the intention of deepening her own knowledge and practice. 

It wasn't until a further training with Yoga with Georgia and Om Som that she felt inspired and ready to share the gift of Yoga as a teacher.

Shell puts her heart and soul into her classes which combine creative flows, cool tunes, sound bowls, breath work and meditation. 

She wants for you to feel welcomed, nurtured and supported in her space and is passionate about helping build confidence in your practice no matter what your experience, age, shape or fitness level. 

Her intention is for you to leave feeling spacious and balanced,  with a  deep sense of connection to your mind, body and spirit.

Yoga with Heidi is all about slow, mindful movement, holding poses whilst breathing efficiently, to help you feel the effects of yoga in your body. 

Her aim is for you to experience the benefits of yoga in every class; strength, stamina, flexibility, nervous system regulation and energy flow, allowing for a deeper experience of living IN your body, with embodied self awareness.

Pelvic floor and core strength and release is built into each class. In this class, Heidi provides variations for different bodies, making things easier or more challenging as needed.

Whether you're new to yoga or returning to your mat, Elise offers a grounded and nurturing environment to reconnect with the present moment—one breath at a time.

I’m a landscape designer by trade and have been practising yoga for over ten years. My love for yoga comes from the same place as my love for design, working with nature, rhythm, and balance. I’m a mum of three boys, a lover of travel, good company, and time spent with friends. Yoga has been an anchor in my life, and I’m passionate about sharing a practice that feels accessible, grounding, and nourishing both on and off the mat.

Alexis is a movement and mindfulness teacher based on the Mornington Peninsula. Trained in vinyasa yoga, yin yoga and pilates, Alexis holds space for her students to be creative, be challenged and be truly themselves. Drawing on her knowledge of physiology, Alexis supports students through each posture with intention and care, weaving in meditation and pranayama to cultivate calm and clarity. For her, arriving on the mat is an act of self-love and a way to return to centre in a world that can feel chaotic. She holds immense gratitude for being able to guide others toward that same sense of clarity, steadiness, and inner quiet.

Yoga for me is a way to meet myself where I'm at. To remind myself to pause. To breathe. To listen. My mat is my safe space and my safe haven.

Over the past 20 years, Jess has practiced and taught yoga in India, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Australia. While she originally came to yoga for the movement, it is the breath and mindfulness that has kept me here.

Jess's classes embody a moving meditation, with a strong focus on alignment and physiology.

'I like to create a sanctuary to come back to our connection between body and mind - allowing the time and space to regulate our nervous system, at the same time as building strength and flexibility.'

Jess's teaching style is playful and inclusive -

'I never like to take my practice too seriously, and I like to give my students the opportunity to explore their own practice in a safe and supportive space. My classes are an opportunity to find a little self awareness and a lot of fun.'

Fortunate to call the beautiful Mornington Peninsula home for most of her life, Kate has spent many years exploring the incredible coastlines, local culture + communities that the Peninsula has to offer. In her early twenties, Kate found yoga and has become a passionate life long student of the practice.

From years of practice, she experienced powerful life changes + transformations which have inspired her to live and share the practice as an impactful yoga teacher.

Her style is greatly influenced by her teachers and her own personal discoveries along the way. She infuses her traditional understandings, as well as her own insights in what comes through as a fun and supported approach to yoga and life.

Lucy is a dedicated yoga teacher based in Balnarring, passionate about using yoga as a tool to down-regulate the nervous system and create a bridge to deeper self-connection.

Her classes are thought-provoking, grounding, and infused with intention, encouraging self-reflection and mindful movement.
