Cari's passion for yoga started in the late 1980's when she personally discovered the centering and balancing effect that yoga had on her life. She has a background in naturopathy and remedial massage and finds this knowledge of the body complements her yoga teachings.
Cari is drawn towards the teachings of the Krishnamacharya lineage, particularly the concept of viniyoga (adapting the teachings to suit the uniqueness of each individual or group situation, thereby incorporating many different approaches).
She has been teaching yoga since 2000, and loves working with individuals and small group classes in order to personalise the practices in a nurturing and supportive environment. She believes that working with yoga in this way will produce optimum healing results for each of her students. She aims to encourage her students to be aware of their overall health and general well-being by exploring various yogic principles such
as movement, relaxation, meditation and breath awareness. Using yoga as a therapeutic aid to healing, Cari's special interests include: women's health, back care and rehabilitation from physical illness.
Along with teaching at Just Balance, Cari also teaches both private yoga tuition and small group classes in Newcastle - www.anamyoga.com.au.
