Meet the Team

Co-founder of HUM and 1000+hr ERYT, Andrea was drawn to Yoga nearly 30 years ago after having her first child.

Her first Yoga Therapist taught her that Yoga is so much more than body movement, so Andrea was guided to incorporate pranayama, meditation, energetics and philosophy into all her classes.

After completing her initial 500 hour Yoga teacher training at the Yoga Institute, Andrea has continued to be a student of Yoga, deepening her studies in Yoga Nidra, Tantric Hatha, Yin Yoga, Sound, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation and more.

Andrea’s classes are very intentional, breath centred and nurturing. She teaches Hatha Yoga, Foundations, Yoga Nidra and Kryia Meditation classes at HUM, as well as co-facilitates our 200hr Hatha Training.

Olivia is a lover of the movement arts. She is a co-founder of HUM, and has a focus on facilitating feminine embodiment movement. Having been introduced to her first Yoga class as a child, she has continued to use dance and flow as a form of self expression throughout her life.

Liv teaches Vinyasa, Yin and Zenthai Flow, as well as Salsa and Bachata. She also offers Zenthai Shiatsu massage, movement retreats and workshops. A lifelong student, Olivia continues to explore different modalities to bring into her teaching.

After training in Ayurveda, Meditation, Reiki, Crystal Sound Healing and Nepalese Sound Healing in Northern Thailand, Becc was inspired to connect all of these modalities in a way that could transform people’s lives. It was Yoga that ultimately connected all the dots. Becc’s classes work off the Yogic philosophy of Sthira and Sukha: Steadiness and Ease. Building strength in the body and the mind by challenging our perception of what our physical form “should” do and exploring the infinite possibilities for personal growth.

Talara’s journey with yoga began in her early 20’s and she has maintained a dedicated practice ever since. Truly believing yoga is a way of living and being, Talara has witnessed the huge transformations and growths that come with this.

Feeling called to study her passion, Talara became qualified to teach Hatha and Vinyasa in hopes that she too could carry on the lineage of an ancient practice. She believes combining pranayama, asana and meditation is the key recipe to harmonise the mind, body and spirit.

Her goal as a teacher is to show up authentically, hold space and create a safe container for people to move freely. To honour the philosophy and wisdom behind yoga and ensure it is accessible and inclusive for everyone, and guide her students through a nourishing movement practice that helps all people come back to themselves in this busy, modern world.

Lyn discovered yoga later in life after a corporate career in the marketing sector. She instantly fell in love with it and did her Teacher Training with no intention of becoming a teacher, it was more about wanting to delve deeper into what was making her feel so good in my own practice. The more she learned the more she knew she wanted to share this powerful and scared practice with others.

Lyn believes yoga is all about love and our connection to soul and source. Her classes are based on drawing this powerful energy into the body and becoming familiar with its flow.
