 Edna’s first introduction to Yoga occurred when she was 13 years old and has been an inspiring aspect of her life since that time.

It was at Mangala Studios in Melbourne, under the tutelage of Mangiamele that Edna was also inspired to teach children.
Children’s curiosity and playfulness in Yoga and Dance continues to be the inspiration for Edna’s work to this date.
Edna’s session at Sydney Expo is for the young as well as the young at heart.

An energy shifter…..a physical sculptor…..a soulful jester,

Dancing Warrior Yoga balances the body and mind through the energy of motion and the heart of self-realization. At the centre of this practice lies the courage of the warrior - one who fears not to stand alone in displeasure or delight and dance with the greater Self.

Mathew Bergan has devised a style for those that have yoga on their mind and movement in their bones. His style fuses the kinetic qualities of contemporary dance with the muscular/skeletal foundations of Hatha yoga and cyclic breathing. Each class stretches, strengthens and tones the body while drawing upon a measured breath cycle. The classes are enjoyable and informative, offering every student the chance to experience their bodies and minds intelligently.

Mathew completed his yoga teacher training with Yoga Synergy. His evolving teaching style has been shaped by various traditions including ashtanga vinyasa and Iyengar yoga.

Mathew runs 2 yoga studios in Chippendale and St Peters that he established in 2004 offering drop-in yoga classes and courses. Since 2000 he has operated Dancing Warrior Yoga and Pilates agency locating teachers in the business sector.

Pixie Lillas began practicing Iyengar Yoga in 1976 with Dona Holleman in Italy. She co-founded the Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio in 1980 and has been director and principal teacher there ever since. As well as teaching at the BYS Pixie runs teacher training courses and workshops in Australia and in Europe. She has been closely involved with the BKS Iyengar Yoga Association since it started in 1985 and currently holds an Advanced Junior teaching certificate.

The Iyengar approach to yoga is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga expounded by Patanjali in his classic treatise, The Yoga Sutras, written over 2,500 years ago.  It is a disciplined and deeply researched system developed over 75 years by Yogacharya BKS Iyengar who still practices daily – exploring, studying, writing and teaching about yoga.

What is unique about Iyengar Yoga is that it is characterized in the practice of asana and pranayama with the innovative approach emphasizing precision and alignment, planned sequencing, timing and the use of props.  This approach has allowed people of varying ages, levels of health and fitness to enjoy the benefits which a sustained practice can bring – the ability to face the physical, mental and emotional challenges of contemporary life with strength, vitality, mobility, thoughtfulness and equanimity.

Patty is very dedicated about sharing the benefits of Kundalini Yoga which works on the endocrine and nervous systems. She is one of the 3 teaching staff for the Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training across Australia and regularly travels to teach workshops and retreats in Hatha Vinyasa and especially in the Kundalini Yoga tradition.                               
 
Her professional career has been eclectic and diverse. Originally a trained dancer, Patty now runs a thriving business as a kinesiologist and her dedication for yoga has deepened in the last few years as she has discovered that the similarities between Chinese Medicine and Kundalini Yoga are quite profound.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and is open to all levels. The combination of yoga postures with detailed breath patterns and specific repetition of sounds makes the practice particularly transformative. Each set of exercises targets particular areas of the physical body but also the energetic meridians of the body that helps release blockages. If you’re ready to let go of the past or to embrace personal empowerment in your life, then this is the practice for you.

Kundalini Yoga is a beautiful art and ancient science to raise and expand humanities conscious awareness.  It was taught secretly for hundreds of years until Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, came to the west in 1968 and began teaching the many thousands of souls searching for just such a technique to enhance their lives.  Kundalini Yoga is a transformational practice which uses mantra, mudra, dynamic posture, breath and meditation to relax and heal you physically, mentally and spiritually so that you may live a life of health, peace and harmony.
 
GuruJivan/Renee has been studying yoga for 37 years and teaching Kundalini Yoga for the past 34 years throughout Australia and overseas. She has studied directly with Yogi Bhajan over those years and was sent by him to teach in this part of the world where she has continued to respect her teacher and to spread his teachings to all who come to her to learn.
 
GuruJivan/Renee brings a wealth of knowledge from her personal experience of practicing this technology and sharing it with many others through her classes over the years as well as running Teacher Training Programs for those seeking to learn more about this way of life.  She believes in respecting each person’s limits, yet nurtures and encourages each individual in their practice of Kundalini Yoga and living a Yogic lifestyle.

Sarah Evans, principal with Magic Mat Yoga, is a yoga teacher with an education and drama background. In 2006 she created Magic Mat Yoga as a respond to demands for creative and successful ways to teach yoga to children. Magic Mat yoga is now taught in schools as a PDHPE (Personal Development Health and Physical Education) program and as after-school and holiday programs for children K-6. Magic Mat also entertains children with shows about Princess Lotus and Yogi Mat. Princess Lotus will be a Yoga Expo.

The practice of Yoga is rooted in the heart of mystical India. Yoga is a path to enlightenment, a way to re-connect with God.
Amidst the very many different branches that Yoga has spread, the western world has mainly grasped the more practical approach of Hatha Yoga. It is the work of BKS Iyengar and Swami Satyananda Saraswati that brought it to light outside the Asian continent for the first time. Many other teachers and “styles” have been flowering since then to make Yoga now days a very well known practice.
People are mostly attracted by the physical exercises, the mental strength derived, the lightness and feeling of relaxation that come with it.

ABOUT FABIO….
Fabio left Italy to travel the world for 12 years. The many cultures and people he encountered have shaped his approach to life. This is very much felt in the way Fabio teaches yoga where individuality, passion and humour are emphasized, with great respect for all the ancient traditions.
 
He is especially grateful to his teachers for helping him deepen his experience with the more profound aspects of yoga, such as the Shatkarmas, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga and the more esoteric meditation techniques. Fabio believes strongly in meeting his students’ needs and designing a personalised practice to help them develop more their body-mind awareness. His personal approach ‘on the mat’ is a combination of classical Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa, where movement meets breath to create a flowing meditation.
 
Fabio is particularly passionate about the principles and practices that take place ‘off the mat’ but that he believes are essential for a more authentic way of yogic life.
 
He teaches at Nature Care College and also works from his private practice in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Shri Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, born in India in 1927, is the spiritual representative and president of the Shri Ram Chandra Mission, founded in 1945. He was raised in the rich cultural heritage of the East and educated extensively in the Western tradition. After over twenty years of association with his Master, Shri Ram Chandra, and since he became his successor, he continues to spread the teachings of Sahaj Marg in more than ninety countries, and for the spiritual upliftment of humanity at large. He is the third Master in the lineage of Sahaj Marg, the Natural Path Raja Yoga system of practice, and has nominated his successor for continuity.

Through a lifetime of dedication, he demonstrates that a balanced existence, fulfilling the responsibilities of family life while supporting one’s spiritual development is possible, when one associates himself with a Master of calibre. Further to this, he is the embodiment of service to mankind, mainly but not exclusively in the spiritual field. His vision is a world where individuals foster mutual love and universal brotherhood, transcending the boundaries of race, religion, nationality, language, education, caste, age and social standing. He achieves this unity in purpose by providing a spiritual and worldly platform supporting personal growth and social change.

Training provided in all Sahaj Marg centres around the world is based on heart-centred meditation, regulation of the mind’s tendencies and  prayer for human elevation. He has prepared volunteer trainers all over the world to assist all interested individuals in their spiritual development.

Swami Muktimurti has been living in the Satyananda Yoga ashrams in both Australia and India since the 1970’s and is wellknown for her singing. She has pursued a deep interest in music for the past 30 years, incorporating her background in devotional singing (kirtan, bhajan and stotram), mantra, classical North Indian music, and her love of music and chanting in general into an experiential perspective on the practices of Nada Yoga.  During this time she has also been active in finding ways to bring these practices into the broader community and thus encourage others to discover and develop their own deeper connection with the music of the spirit.

Swami Dayasagar has been involved with Satyananda Yoga since 1979, for 17 of those years as a full-time resident in Mangrove Mountain, Adelaide and Victorian centres. She is currently residing and teaching yoga on the NSW Central Coast and pursuing an interest in practices of nada yoga and sound and the art of healing.

Transmission Meditation is both a world service (Karma Yoga) and most potent technique of personal development (Laya Yoga) available today.
This meditation is a virtual 'hot house' for the spiritual growth of those who participate on a consistent basis. It provides a vehicle for service affecting the entire evolution of humanity for the better.
Transmission Meditation enhances any other development practice currently used by the individual, and the potency of energies released during meditation can initiate powerful healing experiences.  Thousands of people around the world are joining together to aid in the work of transmitting these powerful spiritual energies for the benefit of humanity and construction of a new world based on Brotherhood, Sharing and Justice.
With the advent of the Aquarian Age, this new opportunity is available to those who seek to serve their fellow human beings.  Under the experienced guidance and direction of the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet, the energies of Love and Light and Power can be safely 'stepped down'.  These energies facilitate the difficult changes now in progress and speed the transformations leading to a better world for all."
