Cindy Aulby

Cindy brings more than 25 years experience of work as a Breathwork and Body Centred Counselling practitioner, group facilitator and teacher. Here is what she says about being human, about inner work and the benefits of her approach:
"I’ve come to understand that we are extraordinarily intelligent organisms. Our systems are constantly seeking balance and wholeness. Learning to listen deeply to ourselves and to trust the process reveals a deep organic intelligence at work. Without exception, our internal processes are always trying to align us with who we really are, and always seeking to re-establish personal balance and wellbeing. Breathwork combined with a body centred counselling model is, in my experience, the most effective tool available for personal transformation. It encourages the deep listening required, it reveals the intelligence of the inner world, and it shows us the maps and guides us through them." Cindy is available on Fridays at Hobart Breathing Space. |

He believes that recovery from trauma restores a sense of dignity and justice and allows for more control over one’s life. This occurs when traumatic experiences can be transformed by a deeper understanding of the specific trauma and its consequential impacts on the body.

Julie Gribble

Julie is the Director of Hobart Breathing Space and has been a dedicated practitioner of Gita style yoga for the past fifteen years.
She studied with Gita International in Melbourne and graduated with the Gita Gold Diploma in teacher training which is fully recognised by Yoga Australia and includes over 900 hours of coursework and teaching practise in addition to personal classes. Gita style yoga is a holistic form of hatha yoga formulated to meet the needs of western bodies and minds. It has its roots deep in the ancient wisdom teachings but is presented within a modern scientifically and medically validated framework. Its particular focus is on soothing and recalibrating our nervous system and our endocrine system, both of which are increasingly found to be out of balance in our stressful modern world. The yoga Julie teaches is about living from the heart as well as the head, and nourishing the inner life in order to flourish. It’s about bringing our body, mind and emotions into balance so that we can listen to our intuition and allow our inner voice to be our guide. Her aim is to help others in their quest to live more consciously and richly so that we may become more authentically the person we are truly here to be. You are the ONLY you, the only person who can truly know what resonates and is right for you. In a Gita style class you develop at your own pace and within your own limits by learning to listen deeply to the promptings within. There is no judgement, no competition, no criticism, just a safe space to explore and nurture the self in the way that is right for YOU. Julie is passionate about the life-enhancing nature of Gita style yoga, and will support you on your journey with empathy and compassion. She firmly believes that yoga provides a joyful opportunity for ‘a different way of being’ in the world, bringing balance, harmony and awareness to all levels of our being. Its benefits are immeasurable and can assist in the development of:
She also teaches on occasion in schools, sporting clubs, and workplaces. |
Alyssa McMahon

Alyssa recently moved back to Hobart with her toddler boy after spending almost 10 years in Adelaide working in corporate roles. There she formed a business partnership with a fellow Seeker and together they started Adelaide’s first sustainable-focused market – Mother Earth’s Marketplace – creating a ‘gateway’ for locals wanting to begin thinking about their impact on Mother Earth and encouraging small changes in their daily lives.
Alyssa has dabbled in meditation for many years, joining regular meditation groups and having more than one go at beginning a personal daily meditation practice! She decided against returning to the corporate workforce after 2 years of maternity leave in order to fulfill a lifelong desire to study and work in the metaphysical and New Age fields, as well as spend more time with 2-year-old Alby. Alyssa is currently a student of Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness and the University of Metaphysical Sciences, and a student member of the International Institute for Complimentary Therapists. Alyssa is interested in many forms and paths of meditation, including chakra work, enquiry, stillness, energy work and visualisations. One of the main guiding forces for Alyssa taking the path of meditation teaching rather than just practicing was to ‘bring meditation to the masses’, showing every-day people that meditation doesn’t have to be a religious or empty-void-of-silence experience. Anyone can experience the benefits of meditation, from helping you organise your day easier to finding new ways of doing things and finding your own answers to deep questions and problems. Beginning with monthly Full Moon meditation sessions at The Breathing Space, Alyssa is looking to expand with regular focused sessions once meditation study is complete later in 2022, as well as adding online and one-on-one sessions. Get in contact with Alyssa to request a specialised chat about how she can help you rediscover your inner true self and shift some stubborn obstacles in your path to your true happiness. |
Ninna Millikin

Ninna Millikin is a Breathwork practitioner who brings a deep understanding and experience of many aspects of being human and alive; in particular separated families, experiences unique to women, substance use, depression, parenting young children and the riddle of relationships. Ninna draws strength from her deep love of nature, embodied dance, work as a documentary film-maker and motherhood to facilitate your profound processes.
Ninna graduated from the Journey to the Heart training with Cindy Aulby in 2019. She brings the fresh energy and curiosity of a new practitioner, with many years of experience in her own personal growth path, in Breathwork groups and in private sessions.I have used Breathwork for over a decade because it has worked for me in profound ways. Breathwork is a powerful tool to access the subconscious and non-ordinary states of awareness, and facilitates transformative journey work. Understanding our schema and issues is useful for awareness, but it doesn't necessarily bring about the growth and renewal we hope for when we engage in therapeutic work. To merely observe is not enough. For transformation to occur energy must move, our bodies must feel and express, connections between the current challenges and past experiences be seen and felt. With this release comes freedom, choice and availability to ourselves and others. Lasting transformation can occur with Breathwork, and with a loving and attentive practitioner to nurture and champion your process. "I offer support for you to connect to the core of who you are through your physical sensations and emotions. When we know and understand ourselves our unconscious thought and behaviour patterns find resolution and our lives become richer. This ripples out to those we share life with." |

Meghan Powell

Meghan Powell began studying the Ashtanga Vinyasa method in 2010 when her mom (and very first teacher), Peg Mulqueen, first brought her to a led primary class. At first the practice was a means to move freely after many years of sports had left her restricted and in pain. In later years, Meghan used yoga as a way to find balance in her life, diving into the internal experience of a daily āsana, meditation, and chanting practice.
Meghan has made trips to Mysore, India, the home of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga, to study with R. Sharath Jois deepen her understanding of this tradition. In 2018, Meghan began working with her teacher and mentor, Dena Kingsberg. As a student under Dena’s guidance, Meghan has been cultivating a deeper appreciation and knowledge of classical Indian philosophy and a deep respect for the profound, multi-faceted experience that is the practice of Ashtanga yoga. Under Dena, Meghan completed a 3-year mentorship training and continues to learn from her. Meghan is influenced by both yogic philosophy and mindfulness practices - integrating the two whilst emphasizing simplicity and accessibility throughout her teachings. She feels fortunate to work alongside her mom, Peg Mulqueen, to bring yoga and Ashtanga Dispatch to students around the world - envisioning a community without walls. Together they host the Ashtanga Dispatch Podcast where they have lively conversations with teachers who inspire, question, educate, and empower. As well as, write regular articles for their blog, exploring all the limbs of yoga. |
