Andrew began his yoga teacher training in Sydney and has since completed over 500 hours of accredited training, including advanced sequencing, alignment and assists, meditation and yoga philosophy. Andrew sat Vipassana in 2020 and is a big believer in the meditative aspects of yoga. 

Andrew first discovered yoga at a gym in London and was bored to death. It was not until later in his corporate life that he tried it again to 'destress' but then found the practice offered so much more. Physically, it was a great counterbalance to his martial arts, but it was the mental challenge that drew him to yoga. He aims to share these learnings and the benefits of the practice with his students. Andrew's classes are challenging and emphasise patience, smooth and fluid movement with a connection to breath and most importantly, a sense of humour. 

Terry Bradley, Welsh by birth and Irish by descent - to be sure! Father to Katie and grandad to Carter. He was born, at a very early age, in Llanelli (don’t even try) and lived there most of his life. He arrived in Oz on a short term visa nine years ago, with his amazing partner, Lisa. They lived for five years in Canberra (don’t try that either) before moving to Sydney. He tends to be a bit of a joker – clown some might say – and loves to make people smile.  
 

He is 55 now and when he looks back, he thinks he has lived ‘a life’. As a younger kid his first hobby was when he followed his big sister into gymkhana. Her pony was amazing and they would take turns to ride him in the events. They’d always win half a dozen or so. He’s always been big into sports, rugby (national schools honours), football, racket sports and triathlon were the picks.   

On reaching adulthood (he wouldn’t call it growing up, still waiting...) he did very physical jobs until an epiphany at 33 sent him to university where he graduated in Pure Maths and Statistics – he now compiles Statistics for the Government (don’t try that either - yawn).
 

His yoga journey began at Modo Yoga Sydney in early 2018. Youthful recklessness, sport and heavy lifting had left him with a few physical restrictions, not least a chronic spine condition and his physical activity had reached its lowest ebb. Yoga has restored his confidence and his resilience and he would even say it has reversed the ageing process for him. 
 

So what’s his teaching style? Well, he will never be in your face. Much more softly, softly from him. But if you ever want to hear his experience of the life-changing effects of yoga (and you have a few hours to spare) just ask him (you may not want to try that either 😎). Hwyl fawr.

Since discovering yoga, Amy has always reveled in the way that a regular yoga practice sews its benefits through the rest of your life. She embodies this in a firm believe that the awareness yoga helps to bring allows us to truly let go in whatever form is needed for each individual at the time - whether physically, mentally or emotionally.  

Amy teaches a dynamic flow and often incorporates strength-based movements into her classes with interspersions of stillness. She loves the moment in class where you feel like you are seamlessly flowing and gears her sequences towards fostering this. Her most playful state can be found in backbends and quirky transitions. Her classes are structured to challenge while also nourishing each student’s sense of curiousity, holding options for all levels. 

Drawing from an extensive wealth of knowledge, Amy began her teaching journey with a 200hr teacher training at Hom Yoga with Briohny Smyth and Dice Iida-Klein. After this she continued to build her knowledge through a 100hr Yin training with Sydney based Mel McLaughlin, a Yin Yang Mindfulness training with Sarah Powers, and an abundance of further trainings with teachers including Patrick Beach, Carling Harps, Tiffany Cruikshank, Sarah Ball and Noelle Connolly.
