Paul grew up in Scotland and had a love of Eastern spirituality from an early age - but he didn’t discover yoga until much later. It took a lack of mobility, due to back surgery and other intense exercise, for him to take the plunge and start his practice. He started his practice with Hatha, then Vinyasa and Hot Yoga, which is where he found his niche. Paul wanted to progress his yoga and in 2019 went to Mysore, India, to study Ashtanga at Nirvana Yoga Shala where he completed his teacher training. Paul now starts his teaching journey with Shala Yoga.

Yoga has taught Corinne the importance of nurturing and nourishing the body and mind. After living in Melbourne, the call to explore new places and be near the coast drew her to the South-West of WA.

Alongside yoga, she’s a high school teacher and is passionate about creating a sense of community where everyone feels welcome. Her classes are dynamic and mindful, with a focus on alignment.
