Yoga Teacher

Merri has been practicing yoga for over 40 years. Qualifying as a Hatha Yoga teacher in 2015 through Yoga Spirit Studios in Adelaide, she began her teaching in country locations such as Geranium, Tailem Bend and Coonalpyn. She has also presented yoga classes at many conferences and retreats.

Merri’s personal love and passion for yoga extends into all her classes. Her classes are inspired by the needs of her students. Her classes focus on starting with an awareness of your breathing and introducing some easier and gentle yoga postures. With consistent practice of yoga, you might experience increased flexibility, greater muscle strength and improvements in mood that result in you feeling more energised. Techniques in yoga such as meditation and breathwork give you tools to help manage stress and improve sleep for greater wellbeing. All of Merri’s classes finish with a relaxation session to help you find peace of mind to carry with you as you leave.
