Jenna Grunsell

I first stepped onto a yoga mat in 2007 for the physical benefits I thought I would gain. As I deepened my practice - it carried me through some of the hardest chapters of life so far. The healing I found through this practice sparked within me the desire to learn everything I can about it. It has led me to some of the greatest experiences of my life and now I find so much joy in sharing these profound yet simple life philosophies. I love creating dynamic, strengthening flows and holding space for deep release and restoration. I believe a true balance of yang and yin is necessary to carry us through the waves of life. And ultimately guiding you back to your essence of peace is always my goal. I started my training in yoga to deepen my understanding of this practice for myself and have found that the more I learn - the more I want to know.

Tara Barchalk

Once the yogi who couldn't touch her toes and dreaded the thought of walking into a yoga studio, to now becoming an E-RYT 500 lead trainer with over 10 years of yoga teaching experience. Yoga has taken me to dozens of countries, igniting my passion for travel and learning about the world but it has also grounded me here in NSW teaching me about the importance of doing what I love in my community through this practice and even as a wildlife rescuer with WIRES. I owe the teachings of yoga my life and I am so grateful I chose to take this leap into yoga and have so much passion for sharing the accessibility of yoga with my community and people all around the world.

I share vinyasa and yin styles of yoga at TSC, along with annual yoga teacher trainings, monthly ice plunge events, and most recently began fitness and run coaching. My greatest joy is helping people find the forms of movement that feel empowering, fun, and strong to become the very best version of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Tullia Miteff

I was born and raised in NZ and moved to Coffs Harbour when I was 13.
I love nature and the abundance of beauty she blesses us with. I love to bathe in fresh or salty waters, soak in the sun, walk in the rain, ground my feet in the earth, climb trees, lay under the moon, gaze at the stars, stroll through forests.
I also love expressing through words & poetry,  dance, somatics.
I started practicing yoga here in Coffs and it’s taken me on a wild ride which matches my curious, adventurous, wild & mysterious nature. I met my beloved at kundalini yoga training in the Northern Rivers and we ended up comitting to 7 life times together in Varanasi when we travelled to India. Hence why I have a strong passion and connection to sharing Kundalini yoga.
I love incorporating many different elements of breath, movement, meditation, relaxation, working with the different elements and chakras. I love exploring different ways to move the body & either shake up the energy or totally calm it down and I especially love dropping into the body and connecting with  the insights, wisdom and knowledge it carries.

Qualifications

Vinyasa hatha 200 hrs, Yin 50 hrs, Kundalini yoga level 1 (220 hrs) Level 3

 
 
 
 
 

Bianca Howard

I started my Pilates journey nearly 5 years ago now and never looked back since. Ever since attending my first class, I was hooked. Participating in a workout with no competition, judgement or expectation. Just being able to show up, put in everything YOU can and then walk out feeling absolutely amazing? Um?! yes please . After a short time it drastically improved my posture, improved my mental health and I could physically feel myself getting stronger! 3 years in, it was clear to me that this was something I needed to delve into further. I of course enrolled when my studio mentioned they would be conducting an instructor training program.

As confidence had never been my strong suit, public speaking (in my mind) was never an option. I enrolled with the intention to understand more about posture and the way the body moves to deepen my own practice. Needless to say, after a while the public speaking wasn’t so scary anymore and I realised the benefits of instructing far outweighed the ~pre-teaching nerves~ Being able to make someone feel stronger, happier, healthier and more confident all through your job WHILE having to time of your life and being able to create genuine connection within the community? I realised this was my calling and have been growing my knowledge and love for Pilates ever since.

Teg Ageet

I am a certified level 1 Kundalini yoga teacher with a background in youth work and psychotherapy.

My path in kundalini yoga has been a transformative and profoundly healing process. I have discovered with the power of breath, movement and mantra I can regularly clean out the mind's limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.

I now have all the tools to manage and minimise life's challenges. I have found a way to connect to my higher self every day on the mat. Yoga can radically elevate consciousness and expand the heart. I feel the same way about yoga when I make a batch of cookies, it is so delicious I want everyone to taste it! It is a precious gift to humanity that I want to continue to share until my last breath!

Qualifications

200hour Kundalini yoga training

 

Janet Allen

I have always prioritised regular purposeful movement and enjoyed different fitness regimes, depending on my goals and evolving interests. PIlates is something I have always been drawn back to, and over the years found myself daydreaming about becoming an instructor to share that positive movement force with others. It was a major part of my postpartum recovery and overall strength journey.

Although new to the Pilates instructor scene, I'm passionate about creating a welcoming environment, and focusing on the power of meaningful movement in each Pilates session. I prioritise alignment, positioning and of course enjoyment during each session. My aim is to keep everyone safe whilst incorporating a total body workout that optimises muscle engagement, strengthening, lengthening & mind/body awareness. 

Qualifications

Jodie Curtis

Yoga came into my life at a time when I was going through a lot of big changes. I will never forget my first Yin class, heartbroken, with a dysregulated nervous system, and an unsettled mind, I was guided to a class that in 90 minutes returned me to a state of ease, balance, and crystal clear clarity. I remember the experience was so profound, that I thought, “I want to do what that teacher has done for me, for others”. This class helped me to understand the power of Yoga, and little did I know at the time, that was just the beginning...From there I was guided to my Teachers at The Practice in Canggu, Bali to study and immerse myself in Traditional Tantric Hatha and Yin Yoga. I am a forever student on the path with you, it’s an honour to humbly share the teachings that I was fortunate to receive. With the state of the world, it’s more important than ever to anchor back into your truth and live fearlessly from that place with conviction. Hatha Yoga provides a pathway to that remembrance, a map to evolve, grow, and glow. I share the Moon, Sun, and Fire systematic approach, and every class is a complete practice with Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation. My Yin classes are also shared through the lens of Traditional Hatha Yoga and Tantra. Connect with me more here @PRACTICEWITHJODIE, or see you for practice. Jai Ma.

Qualifications

225 HOURS Traditional Tantric Hatha (The Practice Bali), 200 HOURS Yin Yoga (Yin Culture Bali), 65 HOURS Yin Yoga (Radiantly Alive Ubud, Bali), 200 HOUR Meditation (The Broad Place, Byron Bay)

 
 
 
 

Kimberley Roberts

My journey into yoga began over two decades ago when I discovered its profound impact on my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Starting with Satyananda Yoga in my early adulthood, the practice deeply transformed my life. This led me to train with the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA) and pursue further studies at the Satyananda Yoga Ashram in Northern India.

To deepen my understanding, I completed transformative trainings with renowned teachers such as Donna Farhi, Judith Hanson Lasater, Mark Whitwell, and Kit Laughlin. My passion for yoga has grown over the years, and I am dedicated to sharing its benefits with others.

In my classes, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to connect deeply with their inner self. I focus on mindful movement, breath awareness, and creating a balance between effort and ease. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, my goal is to help you find your own expression of each pose and cultivate a sense of presence and stillness that lingers well beyond the mat.

Qualifications

Julie Price

I started practicing yoga about 20 years ago as a way of managing work related stress and trying to achieve more equilibrium in my life. Arriving on the mat soothed my nerves and slowed everything down for me. It helped calm my ‘monkey mind’ and gave me the tools I needed to move through my life with more grace and ease, cultivating a practice of gratitude and finding joy in every day. As a curious school teacher and a committed lifelong learner, it was a natural progression for me to study yoga and discover more. My training represents a fusion of different styles of yoga including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Satyananda, and more recently, Yin.

My classes aim to weave ancient yogic teachings and techniques into the practice whilst making it accessible for all. I try to take my yoga off the mat every day. Yoga is so much more than postures, it’s a way of conscious living. I am indebted to all my past and current teachers and am privileged to be able to share the practice of yoga with the community at The Sol Collective.
