- Grant Wolf
- Grant Wolf comes from Rockhampton, Queenland, where he began his athletic career as a swimmer. Adept and successful swimmer in competitive surf-lifesaving, Grant shifted to singing and dancing in University and soon found himself accepted into the Australian Opera Ballet and Meryl Tankards' Dance Theater. A successful career in musical theatre where he found himself in the casts of Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, Aspects of Love and Pageant. He also began training as a platform diver, then into television script editing. Grant enjoys a wide variety of creative expression and this creativity flows into his teaching style.
Drawing in years in Hatha yoga and the studies of Ayurveda and the Vedas, East Indias sacred texts, Grant style is filled with motion and poise. He believes that moving by from the heart and learning the instrument of the body one can find the music of life. - Waran Karl
- Originally from San Diego, California, Waran Karl trained as a dancer and worked profesionally in Los Angeles and New York, where he began studies in Astanga in 1991. His studies continued through work/travel in Hawaii, New Zealand and then finally Australia. He shifted over to Hatha as a more tempered practice that suited his free-flowing style that moves like a dance. A sense of humour and lightness are the key to his teaching style that can be both dynamic and strong, yet fluid and graceful.
- Cassandra McCann
- Cassandra has been practising yoga since 1988 and teaching since completing her Yoga certification in 2002 at Yoga Arts in Byron Bay Australia.
Cassandra's style inspires and motivates as she takes you through the step by step process of bodily change and awareness that is yoga. She draws from her experience as a professional dancer and choreographer to make her classes dynamic, expressive, precise with an emphasis on mindfulness.
She teaches a blissful blend of vinyasa yoga, and the practices of pranayama, mudra, bandha, meditation and relaxation. - "I started practicing yoga initially to complement my dance training to increase my strength and flexibility, yet it went far deeper than I could have imagined. Yoga has unveiled the many layers of my personality showed me self acceptance, compassion, direction, and my true inner nature which is love. As a teacher I want to share my knowledge and experience with my students and to encourage and support them on a challenging and exciting journey. Yoga is like a meditation to me, brings me back home to the self."
- Jeanette Lloyd Jones
- Jeannette has been teaching Hatha Yoga for over ten years. She studied with teachers such as Mark Breadner and Karen Schaefer of Nature Care College. Her classes are flowing, gentle, nurturing and suitable for beginners and seniors.
Ruth Sullivan renuinites with the Yoga B.C. family. We're very happy to have her Hatha-wisdom and generous spirit with us! (bio-forthcoming:)
