About: I live and teach yoga in Ballarat, Vic, Australia. I teach a Yoga for Bigger Bodies class every Saturday at Absolute Yoga and Pilates. I also teach at the Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre.
About: My classes are alignment based, body-positive, and light on philosophy. It’s my desire to teach in a way that is inclusive of any body type, ability or background. I teach a slow, Hatha-flow style class, and am big on modifying the pose (with props or by other means) to meet each student’s individual needs. I've taught many different types of classes including: restorative, gentle, chair, prenatal, mommy and me, kids, beginning and fundamental style classes.

It is inspiring to be a part of the #TuesdayNightClass community where all are loved and welcomed.

It is through yoga that Sandra has found the courage to recover and she shares her passion on the mat every week with her students and community.

About: Alissa Nelson is a science nerd, quinoa-loving yoga teacher, and social justice activist.
She has worked with public housing residents, patients, physicians, and health policy experts. Regardless of the setting, she works alongside people to help them embody the change they seek in the world. Alissa is often described by friends and colleagues as grounded, authentic, and smart; she enjoys hearing about people's lived experiences as much as she loves a good a literature search.
She earned masters degrees in neuroscience, social work, and public health from Washington University in St. Louis and a bachelor's of science in neuroscience from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, working for three years in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Hall, the 2017 Nobel Prize winner in Medicine or Physiology. She is really into complicated meals, fantasizing about having a handmade wardrobe, and learning to feel comfortable in the ocean in and around Los Angeles.

About: Are you too intimidated to try a yoga class? I was too. For 10 years after I took my first class in college, I was afraid to go back. I wasn't flexible AT ALL and was very self-conscious. But eventually, after practicing along with DVD's at home and knowing that I wanted to improve my health, I tried going to a class again. And despite my trepidation, with the support of some great teachers, I was hooked! Now I want to provide that same support and encouragement to all those who wish to improve their mental and physical health by beginning a yoga practice.
About: In Ayurvedic Medicine, kapha is one of three doshas, and everyone has some grouping of each of them. I am no exception, but in many ways I identify with my kapha component, particularly when it comes to my yoga practice. Kapha folks are larger, a bit slower, have incredible powers of endurance, and really can use the stoking of their fire through a steady and vigorous yoga practice.
As a large-bodied yogi, I have learned a lot about building a practice that I love, and I want to work with you (no matter which dosha you identify with!) to build something that will strengthen and restore you through the practice of asana. I personally follow and promote the Health At Every Size model, which focuses on moving the body you are in, regularly and joyfully. With warmth and good humor, I teach people of all sizes to love and accept themselves and others through the empowering practice of progressive yoga, and to create a safe haven for people to explore their limits.
