This is about as deep as a yoga class can get. It offers students a blend of slowed-down and highly focused yoga asana with philosophy and pranayama. It is inquiry-based and delivered in a restorative yoga format.

Perfect for decompression, personal exploration, and alignment with the greater tides.

What People are Saying

  • Few teachers include the breath with such depth and skill. In these sessions, there is a period of gentle movement to prepare the body to sit, before the breath work commences. Yolande guides you through various techniques from a place of knowledge and respect, for me, this has been a deeply transformational addition to my practice.

  • Wow, just spent a week with Yolande exploring the Fire Element and Heart Intensive yoga workshop. A beautiful practise which was challenging in places for me but also restorative. I’m relatively new to this but benefited from this enormously. I woke each morning eager and less stressed in my shoulders. Clear headed and content and generally relaxed before and after the session. What a magical, talented and beautifully Souled woman Yolande is. Thank you so much — KE Bayview

  • Yolande's classes are always different, challenging and satisfying. One of the best yoga teachers I have come across.

  • Thanks Yolande. Such a pleasure to be guided by you in an early morning practice today. Your knowledge, method & delivery always allows me to be brave & explore while feeling completely safe & supported. Even in a virtual classroom. So grateful our paths crossed & I look forward to rolling out my mat in my lounge room & joining you again for another practice.

  • “Essential lockdown release for body and mind. Yolande's classes are the best way to start your day. Delivered with wisdom and generosity, they strengthen your physical and emotional resilience - resetting your entire system so you're ready to face the morning. I would not be surviving COVID without them.

  • Yolande's four day Easter yoga intensive over the weekend was everything you would expect from this incredibly wise, experienced (and funny!) yogi. When half the class is full of other yoga teachers you know you're in a good space. She took us through a beautiful and sometimes challenging process of unpacking, unbinding and shedding on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Thank you lovely Yolande for a wonderful experience.

    — AL Avalon

  • I have recently started doing Pilates and in working with other teachers have realized what I already knew, which is that Yolande has such a special gift for teaching and she brings a beautiful energy to all of her classes. Although I cant attend any more, I feel extremely privilaged to have been a part of her class for that speacial time with that special group.
