"I first came to yoga in 1983 to complement and help with my martial arts and surfing activities. Having studied philosophy at Deakin University, the study of yoga felt like a natural path to follow."
"It was the powerful effect the asanas (postures) had upon me therapeutically, relieving my injuries that drew me to yoga."
"In 1985 I studied yoga in India and gained teaching qualifications at the Vivekanendra Yoga Kendra in Bangalore, India."
It was at that time that Peter met Shandor Remete, a Senior Iyengar teacher who is respected worldwide, and began classes with him. In 1991, Peter completed a 3-year yoga teacher's apprenticeship with Shandor, working very closely with him and was shown how to use yoga therapeutically for a diverse range of injuries. Peter continues to have a Student / Teacher relationship with Shandor, as well as enjoying a great mateship.
Peter moved to the Central Coast in 1991 and established The Central Coast School of Yoga in the same year.
"I began my yoga experience in 1996, to help with a neck and shoulder injury. What started out as a journey in physical healing soon turned into a life changing event.
I started my apprenticeship with Peter Mulholland not long after and 3 years later emerged as a teacher who found that her love of nature, silence and an uncomplicated lifestyle was enhanced and supported by the yoga."
In her classes and private teachings, she upholds all these values and is constantly sought out time and time again by regular students.
Cathryn's journey is a never ending one and to take a class with her is to step out of chaos, urban life, noise and mess and to step into the gentle ebb and flow of our natural selves.
Credentials include:
Tracey began practicing yoga quite early in her life and consequently it has been the mainstay throughout her life experiences.
"Looking back through the past 30 or so years, it now seems irrelevant to single out any one phase or circumstance to reflect on. I have found that the practice of yoga has a very grounding effect providing a continual but gentle reminder of the shifting nature of life, "the impermanence" and helping to maintain an honest appraisal of the present."
"On a more basic but no less important level, I have found that the regular practice of yoga gives more quality of life to the physical body, maintaining and promoting mobility, stamina and strength.
The physical benefits of yoga had always been obvious especially through pregnancy, childbirth and post-natally, yet I started to recognise the effect yoga has on the mind simply in the way I felt before a practice, during and after. Yoga has a way of sorting you out, bringing you into the present moment, quietening the mind and generating a deeper sense of clarity and awareness."
Tracey has experienced a variety of yoga teachers throughout her life as well as regularly attending a number of workshops, seminars and anatomy courses and has completed a 3 year full-time teacher training course with Peter.
Tracey is committed to helping her students achieve a sense of strength and peace within themselves and specialises in adapting yoga to meet individual requirements.
"I have been drawn to yoga at various times in my life and experienced different styles of yoga while living in Japan, Thailand and Sydney. So, when personal trauma suddenly brought me back to Gosford after 20 years away, I knew what I needed... yoga - real YOGA.
I attended classes at the Central Coast School of Yoga and found the grounding point I needed."
"The feeling of centredness, the peace and space of stillness practice helped me face significant life challenges. The practice of yoga enabled me to slowly discover my true self and reconstruct my life."
As a language teacher/interpreter for many years, both overseas and here on the Coast, Jacqueline has always been passionate about teaching and connecting with people. She has completed a teacher's apprenticeship with Peter. She finds it both a joy and priviledge to share yoga with others through teaching, as her own yoga journey of growth continues.
Jeff has come to us from Hawaii, and is teaching Hot Yoga classes as well as his own Union Yoga.
Glenn is teaching both Hot 1 and Hot 2 classes.
