Instructors

Brigid Macalister



I love supporting people to develop a simple yoga practice that gives joy and is easily incorporated into daily life.  I particularly enjoy helping people use yoga to support themselves with specific health and wellbeing challenges.   In my classes I emphasise the basics of breath-movement flow and connection with core.    

 

My first introduction to yoga was in the 70's  through my mum who took me to yoga classes at the local primary school in Clutha Valley, South Otago when  I was 12.   I came and went from yoga through my 20's and have enjoyed exploring different forms of yoga at TYC since moving to Tauranga in 1994. 

 

In 2009 I had a great time studying Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training L1 with John and Lucy Scott at Stillpoint. More recently I have revisited early Satyananda based yoga teacher training with Ashram Yoga in Auckland.   I intend to do more study with Ashram Yoga in 2011.
