“I feel that I’m supported in Yoga Australia and that all teachers should be members for all the benefits. As an industry you are our collective voice” – Linda
“Being a teacher can often feel like a lonely path. But when we come together to support, nurture and say to one another “Me too, you’re not alone”, it can be the encouragement and inspiration we need to continue sharing this ancient practice. Presenting is a great way to get out of your comfort zone, but to also allow yourself to be seen. And sharing your specific experiences as a teacher can impact and serve other teachers who might have less experience than you. I highly recommend this opportunity to serve your community. You’ll be completely supported and guided through the process by the YA team, which is comforting and reassuring.” – Ondine
“Thank you for all your support, professional development and kindness, an amazing team! So humbled to be part of Yoga Australia”. – Anna
