Hi, I’m Dawn.

A registered Dru Yoga, Meditation and Chair Yoga Level 2 teacher, I love supporting people to achieve their physical, life and work goals through a regular practice of yoga, relaxation, and meditation.

I have enjoyed yoga in various forms for over 30 years, I formalised my Dru Yoga Teacher qualifications in 2012 and completed additional studies as a Dru Meditation Teacher in 2017. Further post grad training in Dru Yoga for Back Care & Wellness and the Knoff Yoga Level 2 Chair Yoga course have been warmly received and enjoyed by all my participants.

Having grown up in the small country towns of Rapid Bay and Second Valley, South Australia, I value the strength and support gained from community connection and it was here that I developed a deep love for being outdoors, the beach, dancing, and bushwalking. Having recovered from several illnesses while young, I learnt the value of rest, but also the joy achieved through moving my beautiful body comfortably at quite an early age.

My love of Yoga and Mediation was sparked over 30 years ago when my Dr at the time suggested that I either start yoga or have spinal surgery having broken my coccyx for the second time. I walked gingerly into a beginner’s class at the then Knoff Yoga Academy in Cairns and the rest is history. I found myself attending everything I possibly could and realised how profoundly healing this practice was for my body, energy and my mind.

In 2022 I enjoyed a full circle moment when I completed a Chair Yoga Level 1 course in Cairns with Nicky Knoff my original teacher who had at the time just turned 84.

I am inspired and mentored by strong and vibrant men and women, and I surround myself with people who enjoy being in nature, those who stop to take photographs, have a love for the simple moments and cherish the animals and humans in their worlds.
