Teachers and the Studio

Yarraville Yoga Centre is dedicated to the teaching and practice of yoga, and to community service. The Centre is available for hire (subject to availability) by organisations and individuals with these objectives.

The primary purpose of the Centre and the path of its founders is the teaching and practice of Iyengar yoga. Classes are offered at all levels from beginners to advanced. Iyengar yoga does not seek to mix with other styles or traditions.

Located in the inner western suburbs of Melbourne, the Centre offers a friendly atmosphere, light-filled studios and modern facilities. There is parking and public transport at hand. Yarraville train station (Williamstown/ Werribee line) is only a two-minute walk, as is the terminus for bus lines 409 Footscray, 429 Altona East and 430 West Footscray.

The teachers

Yarraville yoga teachers Amanda Hood, Heather Kitchen, Juanita Brokas, Paula Casciola and Peter Harley are qualified Iyengar teachers with more than 45 years yoga experience between them.

Amanda Hood Amanda Hood began practicing Iyengar Yoga in 1990 and teaching in 1997. She has prior qualifications in Performing Arts, and is currently studying for a degree in Exercise Science (Human Movement).

Heather Kitchen Heather Kitchen was drawn to yoga out of instinct and curiosity. Within the first few months of attending classes she felt the profound capacity of yoga to create positive and lasting change to ones mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Now in teaching yoga, she encourages others to experience the benefits. Heather is also a practicing massage therapist.

Peter Harley has been an engineer, conservatonist and school teacher. He now teaches yoga and designs yoga equipment. Peter is a qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher.

Juanita Brokas Juanita began Iyengar Yoga in her 20's to help with a lower back injury from a car accident, and found it was the only thing that seemed to help. Later, as a Shiatsu Therapist, Juanita found herself directing her clients to yoga so they could gain awareness within the body and mind, gain strength and flexibility of the muscles, and a sense of calm that aided the release of muscular and mental stress. Juanita hopes to give her students the tools to help themselves physically and mentally, with whatever life presents.

Paula Casciola started practicing yoga in 1991 and has been teaching consistently since 1999. She continues her study and exploration of yoga and finds inspiration for her practice and teaching in everyday life.
