About Sam B Belyea
Always fascinated by the human experience and the very nature of existence Sam has transversed through many realms of experiential training, esoteric explorations and academic study, which has developed into a profound passion for psycho-somatic-soul integration and living life in deep conversation with nature.
Having practiced yoga and meditation for over 12 years, the weaving of breath, movement, contemplation and meditation has been a solace in her own healing and revealed a potent path for empowerment.

daily meditation and Vinyasa practice.

About Christian Ralston
Christian first yoga class was underwhelming. It involved a teacher in baggy pants asking him to do strange, impossible things with his body. He put the experience on the shelf and left it there until Bikram caught his eye. Naturally sporty, the physicality appealed to him as did a mind/body connection that he’d never experienced before. From there he found power yoga, recovered from two knee reconstructions and in 2012 began the process of becoming a teacher. Christian has since trained with Baron Baptiste, Bryan Kest, Noah Maze, Les Leventhal, Chanel Luck, Simon Park, Christina Sell, Ana Forrest, Shiva Rea and Maty Ezraty. His classes embrace all these styles, playful and dynamic with fluid movement and strong, creative sequencing set to a background of uplifting beats that illustrate his love and passion for music.

About Laura P Peasley
Laura has always been fascinated with physical movement and its effect on her state of being. Four years ago, she was drawn to yoga as a reprieve from her office job and a means of exercise. She quickly fell in love with all aspects of the practice and the sense of coming home it provides. What began as a lunch-time obsession has started a lifelong journey. Now, Laura wants to help people find balance, space and stillness and encourage them to reawaken to their sensing bodies and inner wisdom. By linking movement with breath, she encourages students to find freedom and flow mindfully.

About Sam B Belyea
Always fascinated by the human experience and the very nature of existence Sam has transversed through many realms of experiential training, esoteric explorations and academic study, which has developed into a profound passion for psycho-somatic-soul integration and living life in deep conversation with nature.
Having practiced yoga and meditation for over 12 years, the weaving of breath, movement, contemplation and meditation has been a solace in her own healing and revealed a potent path for empowerment.
Sam’s classes are rich and explorative yet playful, threading somatic movement with poetic rhetoric and embodied philosophy. Known for her slow and soul-full teaching style she holds space for students to journey into their own rhythms and embodiment, as gateways to delight in their own empowerment and awakening.
In this way she feels the practice is a call to come home to ourselves and our original intimacy with the deeper currents and conversations of life.

About Sam H Hann
Three and a half years ago something happened that would drastically change the course of my life forever? i stepped into a yoga studio. At the time I was looking for something to compliment my weight training, and had no idea what to expect from yoga. It was hard, hot and I had no idea what half the words meant, but at the end of the practice I felt a sense of euphoria which I?d not yet experienced. At the time I wasn?t sure what it was but I knew I wanted to experience it again. From that day on I haven?t looked back. As my fascination and obsession with yoga grew, my weight training was outshined by my new obsession. Whether its learning new asana, cultivating pranayama techniques or diving deeper into yogic philosophy I find myself discovering and learning much more about myself each day. Being able to push and challenge myself physically, mentally and spiritually all at once is truly incredible. With 250hr Teacher Training experience, I have amassed well over 1000 hours practical teaching experience in my first 12 months of teaching. Along with photoshoots with world renowned clothing brand LuLuLemon and franchise Yogabar. I have also been lucky enough to teach at Australias two biggest Yoga juggernaut companies; Powerliving & Bodymindlife. My biggest inspirations in the world of Yoga would have to be Patrick Beach & Dylan Werner, both of which I have been lucky enough to learn from. Their culmination of strength, grace & knowledge is something I constantly aspire to, and their world class hand balancing expertise has ignited a fire in me I'm sure will never go out. Yoga is not just a physical practice but a way of life? my way of life, which i wish to share with the world.

About Christian Ralston
Christian first yoga class was underwhelming. It involved a teacher in baggy pants asking him to do strange, impossible things with his body. He put the experience on the shelf and left it there until Bikram caught his eye. Naturally sporty, the physicality appealed to him as did a mind/body connection that he’d never experienced before. From there he found power yoga, recovered from two knee reconstructions and in 2012 began the process of becoming a teacher. Christian has since trained with Baron Baptiste, Bryan Kest, Noah Maze, Les Leventhal, Chanel Luck, Simon Park, Christina Sell, Ana Forrest, Shiva Rea and Maty Ezraty. His classes embrace all these styles, playful and dynamic with fluid movement and strong, creative sequencing set to a background of uplifting beats that illustrate his love and passion for music.
