Andrea Parsons

hotbox yoga

Andrea is the proud owner and teacher at hotbox yoga, Melbourne. While initially drawn to yoga by the physical and emotional benefits it offered, it is the spiritual and energetic transformation that has kept her firmly committed to her practice. She began with Bikram yoga over 8 years ago and has since grown passionately and progressively towards a flow/vinyasa style. She has continued her yogic journey of practice and study with influences by many eclectic teachers from traditions including: power yoga, ashtanga, & bhakti flow.

Deb Griffiths

Ganesha Yoga

Deb has been studying yoga for 10 years. She began her yoga journey with Robert Byrne, a dedicated Astanga yogi. Later, she also studied Astanga with Sri Sheshadri in Mysore, India, at the very shanti Mandala Yoga Shala. Her journey also took her to Dominique Salerno at the Yoga Academy in Prahran. So, Deb’s yoga style is heavily influenced by her Astanga background, but her relaxed approach to life softens the yoga that she teaches. If you were to label it, she’d call it an Astanga/Hatha mix. And her sensitivity to people allows her to set the tone of the class to cater to everyone from absolute beginners to more advanced students looking for a good workout. As the mother of a high energy 3 year old, she understands the needs of mothers-to-be and mothers of little ones. ... Read the profile >>

Emily Driscoll

A bit about me... I love health & fitness, sport, traveling and learning. I am so lucky that as a secondary school Physical Education, Health and Maths teacher, I’m able to maintain all of the above. When I was growing up I played every sport I could get my hands on. I ran state Cross Country and was Taekwondo National Champion twice for my age group. I also played representative Netball and Basketball for Deakin University. As a teacher, I love motivating and passing my knowledge on to my students; as a Personal Trainer, I love watching my clients reach goals they never thought they would, and as a Group Fitness Instructor (Les Mills Body Attack, Body Pump and RPM), I love witnessing the dedication, energy and enthusiasm of my participants.
