Meridian Yoga
Meridian Yoga combines Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with yoga postures to balance energy flow through the body's meridian system. This practice enhances physical vitality and emotional wellbeing by targeting specific energy pathways. Ideal for those seeking holistic health improvements through accessible, therapeutic movement.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga involves sustained postures held for several minutes to target connective tissues and improve joint mobility. This meditative practice reduces stress while enhancing flexibility and bodily awareness. Particularly beneficial for individuals with sedentary lifestyles or those recovering from physical strain.
Prenatal Yoga
Tailored yoga sessions for expectant mothers focus on preparing the body for childbirth through gentle postures and breathing techniques. Classes address common pregnancy discomforts while promoting mental calmness. Instructed by specialists with formal training in prenatal/postnatal yoga from The Yoga House.
Children's Yoga
Interactive yoga classes designed for children develop body awareness, coordination, and mindfulness through playful movement. Certified instructors use age-appropriate techniques to foster physical development and emotional regulation. Sessions incorporate storytelling and games to maintain engagement while teaching foundational yoga principles.
Acupressure Therapy
Acupressure therapy applies targeted pressure to meridian points for pain relief and energy balancing. This non-invasive technique addresses musculoskeletal issues and stress-related conditions. Practitioners utilise Level 2 acupressure certification to deliver treatments that complement yoga practice and enhance overall wellness.

Bec is an amazing yoga practitioner. Her attention to detail and ability to coach to an individualised level in sessions is such a rare thing. Running a corporate wellness company, it's really hard to find coaches of this high calibre that actually care about the individuals results. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Bec. My clients loved her sessions, so if you're a busy professional or parent and want a yoga practitioner that just gets it. Look no further.

Bec is a kind, patient, intuitive yoga instructor who has helped me keep moving through injury. Bec has accommodated private lessons for my whole family - such a wonderful thing to do together and equally helpful for my growing, sporty boys - and her user-friendly timetable means there's always a class I can book to suit my varied work weeks. Bec's classes make a really positive impact to my day and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to give yoga a try.

Hi Bec. I love what you are about, but please respect the sovereignty of my mail box! The public declaration reading 'NO ADVERTISING MATERIALS!' is clear and emphatic, yet I have still received your flyer. I have given you four stars, because I know you are going to respond to this message with graceful clarity, and jovial banter, thanks!

Bec's classes are right on point! Her classes are dynamic (a great workout) and leave me feeling, calm, stronger and longer. The Japanese system of yoga is like a well hidsen secret!! I highly recommend trying Bec's classes in her beautiful Rozelle studio.
