Byron Yoga Centre

Elise is the retreat manager, where she has been both teaching and hosting the retreats since 2016. She teaches a range of styles, including Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and a powerful slow flow. All her classes have an emphasis on body awareness, alignment, nervous system regulation, and the mind-body connection. Her intention is to create a space where students can connect, grow, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Elise’s background in personal training and holistic wellness guided her own wellness journey, which led her to yoga in 2013.

Ross has a love for sharing the ancient wisdom teachings of Yoga and Mindfulness, teachings that have profoundly changed the course of his own life. His favourite thing is when others feel for themselves the healing, nourishing, and transformative effects of these simple and time-tested practices and principles. He is particularly passionate about helping to facilitate mental well-being. Ross qualified as a yoga teacher in 2013, joining the Byron Yoga Centre team in 2016, where he continues to facilitate retreat groups to this day.

Aurora has been a teacher trainer and retreat host at Byron Yoga Centre since 2016. Also, an Emotional Wellbeing Coach - Aurora is known for her calm and compassionate space holding. In her classes, she interweaves slow flow Hatha, Restorative, and Yin yoga styles. Aurora began practising yoga 20 years ago and spent most of her adult life in the UK as a trainer, coach, and event organiser, and it was here that she became aware of the very real nature of burnout. This led her to delve deeper into yoga and to study the womb and cycles by which the feminine energies are governed.

Colin’s love of yoga was born in Edinburgh at the age of 21 with a rigorous Ashtanga practice. He has been involved in many styles over the years, across a number of countries, from Iyengar to Hot Yoga and, most recently, Vinyasa, Yin, and Myofascial Release. He began teaching by accident in 2019, completing his Level 1 course in Sydney, and has been teaching weekly ever since. Furthering his experience through the Level 2 at Byron Yoga Centre in 2023, he then attended the Restore Training (Yin and Myofascial) with Lennox Yoga later that year.

Tabata has been practicing yoga for 15 years and loves to combine yoga with astrology to bring the stars to each class. Her passion is women’s health and teaching yoga according to the moon cycle.
