The studio is dedicated to providing a safe and empowering space for individuals of all ages, body types, and skill levels to practise yoga and cultivate wellness. Your Own Yoga believes that yoga is for everyBODY and aims to empower each student to honour their unique body and cultivate a practise that serves them best.
At Your Own Yoga, the classes are designed to unite the body, breath, mind, and soul, promoting overall wellness. The studio recognises that each individual's body is unique, and the same pose may look and feel different for each person. This diversity is celebrated and embraced at Your Own Yoga, as it cultivates a sense of self-agency and confidence in honouring and nourishing one's own body.
The classes at Your Own Yoga offer choice and variety, allowing students to find joy, nourishment, and a deep sense of peace within themselves. The studio provides a range of classes, including Flow, Yin, Koh, Teens, Sensory, and Teacher Training. Whether you are seeking a dynamic flow practise or a restorative yin session, Your Own Yoga has a class to suit your needs.
The founder and teacher of Your Own Yoga is Paula Vintiner, who has been a student of movement since childhood. Paula discovered yoga as a means to move with consciousness and care in her mid-late 30s. Inspired by the teachings of Krishnamacharya, Paula believes that yoga is accessible to everyone and should be explored with personal wisdom and self-honouring. When she is not teaching, Paula can be found baking bread, enjoying meals with her husband, or relaxing in the garden with their retired greyhound.
Your Own Yoga also has other talented teachers, including Tess Brown and Lauren Albans. Tess specialises in Yin and Koh, while Lauren offers Cacao & Sound Journeys. Both teachers bring their unique expertise and passion to create enriching and transformative experiences for students.
Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to the practise, Your Own Yoga welcomes you to join their community and discover the many benefits of yoga. To book a class, ask questions, or find more information about the studio's services, reach out to them through their website or social media channels.
