What is Yoga Flow?
Yoga Flow classes offer a gentler pace to dynamic flow, allowing time to explore postures through mindful breathing while cultivating strength, flexibility, and balance. But don’t let that soft pace fool you! These classes are equally challenging, requiring you to ground yourself through postures that you might be used to holding for only a breath or two.
Each class is a unique composition built by the teacher’s influences and interests, but will typically include an opening meditation, standing sequences, and some softer groundwork.
These classes are quite accessible if you are new to yoga as they operate at a slower pace, but will also have plenty of opportunities to try out more challenging variations if you are an inquisitive or advanced practitioner.

Emma Landolt
Emma Landolt is an experienced yoga teacher, passionate about teaching the art, magic and ritual of yoga and dedicated to helping her students connect deeply to their body and soul. She believes that through a deep connection to our bodies we are able to awaken our true potential.

Since then she has completed 300hr advanced training with the Yoga People, incorporating Rocket, Yin and Tripsichore and then a further 150 hours of Mandala Vinyasa. She also completed a Handstands & Inversions teacher training with Patrick Beach who she continues to study with, and has trained to teach Shiva Rae’s Prana Flow. She then trained to teach Yoga Nidra (Tantric Sleep Yoga) with Uma Dinsmore Tuli, which has had a profound influence on her practice and teaching.
She teaches yoga retreats internationally and leads women’s empowerment retreats in Colombia and Mexico. Her background teaching dance and the Brazilian art form of Capoeira has inspired her yoga teaching with graceful, dance-like movement. Emma’s classes are dynamic and creative, building communion with the breath and inviting a feeling of lightness, ease and joy. She loves to teach Mandala Vinyasa, infused with ritual, intention and elemental theory. Alongside fluid movement Emma teaches Yin Yoga to soften, open and restore the body, breathwork practises to calm the nervous system, and Yoga Nidra for deep relaxation and transformation. Emma’s classes are poetic and playful, encouraging awareness both mentally and physically. She invites a positive, nurturing and joyful environment for students to experiment and transform through their yoga practice.
Lydia Baker
Lydia is Australian born, passionate and curious by nature. She got into yoga unintentionally and quickly fell in love. Since completing her initial teacher training Lydia has continued her studies with special interest in meditation and Yoga Nidra and has completed additional trainings with Erin Prichard, Becky Farbstein, Chloe Faulkner, Katy Bateman, Norman Blair, Ben Wolfe and Uma Dinsmore. Taking inspiration from different forms of asana and various philosophy, including Taoist, Buddhist and Vedic texts, you can expect to flow through a strong steady sequence, with emphasis on the breath and stillness.

Rishin Paonaskar
Rishin Paonaskar grew up in India and although yoga was taught at his school, he didn’t take it up until several years later to recuperate from a cycling injury. In 2012 he left a career in banking to start his own food business and also completed his 200 hour Yoga Alliance training. He has since trained as a myofascial body worker with senior Forrest Yoga teachers Jambo Truong and Brian Campbell, with Judith Hanson Lasater and as a yoga sports coach with the Institute of Yoga Sport Science. Rishin’s Dynamic Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes are challenging but accessible, while his Flow + Restore sessions are a chance to completely relax and reset. Come along to sweat, laugh and play in Rishin’s vinyasa, or enjoy a simple flow (to stretch and strengthen) followed by a delicious restorative sequence, designed to soothe the nervous system.

Becca Raeburn
Through her teaching Becca hopes to create a space for her students to feel empowered to make the practice their own. She will always offer a range of variations and modifications for you to choose from depending on what your energy levels are feeling most aligned to. She invites you to explore outside of the box, letting go of how a pose looks, and instead allowing the physical sensations and the rhythm of your breath guide each movement. She hopes that you’ll come away from her classes feeling a little bit lighter than when you entered, and more connected to yourself – mentally, physically and energetically.
