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. |

Feldenkrais is a universal method for learning new ways of moving, sensing, feeling and breathing. The exciting part is that new connections made in the body are also made in the brain. This masterfully designed method harnesses neuroplasticity to bring about positive improvements for individuals to improve their posture and quality of life.
I believe that being gentle with yourself combined with the ability to observe what is happening in your mind and body is crucial for positive change. I work gently with you to build on your functional strengths. Awareness of the movement variations within a session is also encouraged to foster your improvement. A student can feel a range of unique experiences after a lesson. They might feel taller, more grounded or balanced. Their changed physical presence provides a sense of empowerment and is full of movement possibilities which flow into possibilities in everyday life. Nicole Harstead is a movement educator of 20 years. She taught dance for many years in the College system and is now a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, running her practise Feldemoves. She teaches students both individually, and in classes and workshops. She loves assisting people to find more freedom and joy in their movement. |

I am constantly heartened and amazed at the efficacy of Breathwork and Body-Centred Counselling for my clients and group participants. I trained as a practitioner because it was and continues to be deeply helpful for me in my healing journey. So it’s a real privilege to support others and see it working for them too.
These tools I use grant access to the subconscious and non-ordinary states of awareness, and the somatic grounding component facilitates transformation through the wisdom of the body, where our trauma is embedded. I accompany you and gently guide you to connect with yourself deeply, bring to the surface the subconscious causes of suffering and integrate the new understandings and relationship with yourself. I use the methods that worked for me in profound and lasting ways, giving me an experience of shedding, renewal, freedom, and availability to myself and others. When: Sessions are 90min, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays $150- $170 and $140 unwaged. |

Boundless Bonds
Nina's journey into the art of Shibari commenced in 2015 when she became immersed in learning not only the intricacies of tying beautiful patterns and knots, but also in experiencing the myriad of psychological aspects. Since then, she has cultivated a deep appreciation for both self-tying and the art of tying others in the context of a mental health and wellbeing practice. Her exploration has taken her to various workshops and lessons in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia and in Montreal, Canada, enriching her understanding of the practice. Complementing her hands-on experience, Nina's ongoing undergraduate studies in Psychological Science have afforded her insights into why some individuals derive profound mental health and general wellbeing benefits from body-centred rope-tying. Motivated by this understanding, she aspires to amplify awareness and accessibility of this transformative practice by offering an opportunity to engage with it in a safe and inclusive environment. To that end, together with her life partner, she set up Boundless Bonds in 2023 to encourage a vibrant body-centred rope-tying community in Tasmania for those who enjoy and derive benefit from the practice. |

Kinesiology, Intuitive Energy Healing & Somatic Processing
During a healing with me, the aim is to release your imbalance/trauma so that you can connect with your true self - the self that exists without your accumulated blocks and survival adaptations. When we start releasing trauma and low vibrational energy, it allows our vibration to rise and higher vibrations, like joy, can come into our bodies. There are many different ways of achieving this healing. My approach is to integrate energy healing, kinesiology and somatic processing to: 1 - Use muscle testing to access the stress or imbalance and its origins 2 - Enquiry of what is needed to release 3 - Give your body what it needs and release the imbalances using a range of energy healing modalities When we let go of the story of what happened and pay attention to our body's experience of the event, we can find out what our body needs to process and heal. As we release and heal we start to feel an expanded capacity for joy, connection and vibrant self-expression. Enquiring into our trauma becomes a gateway to profound transformation, rather than something to be feared or avoided. This healing can be used for a wide range of pain and physical dis-eases, trauma and nervous system dysregulation, emotional health imbalances, learning issues, goal setting, and soul work.

I walked away from my first session completely blown away by the changes I was witnessing in my body. After 2 long years of post-natal depression and anxiety, I felt the biggest transformation after my first session. An overall feeling of lightness became my new inner experience and as days passed, I felt more capable at living in the present. Needless to say I returned for more guidance and with each visit, I am feeling more aligned and connected to myself, my truest, deepest self, than ever before.” – Ashley, Kingston Adults $120 | low income $100 | children (under 18) $80 Book online Please contact Shecani if you can’t find a suitable time as distance appointments are also available. |

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. |
