About Akasha Yoga
Akasha Yoga began from the simple desire to share the love and benefits of yoga; making it accessible for everyone. Yoga will mean different things to different people and with over 13 years of experience, Rebecca understands that everybody and everyday is very unique.
Yoga is about contentment, non-violence and truth - to ourselves and others. It's not all about flexibility or co-ordination - it's about nurturing yourself and recognising the waivering limits your body has each day. Anyone can do yoga and her classes are taught with understanding and compassion, instilling respect for your body and calming the mind.
Classes can be tailor-made to suit individuals or groups for private tuition; or corporate packages to reduce the stress of busy employees.
About the Teacher
Rebecca was first introduced to yoga during rehabilitation for illness back in the late 80's. The seed was planted & remained within while travelling the world for a few years in the early 90's. Upon returning to Australia she was a student at the Glebe Yoga School, Sydney with Peter Thompson and Sue-ellen Kohler, who introduced her to Iyengar yoga.
Since 2001, Rebecca has been a student at Yoga Synergy, Newtown & Bondi. Synergy teaches dynamic Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa based yoga, which is also shaped by Western medical science and physiotherapy. Rebecca has been fortunate to have Don Peers and, currently, Simon Borg-Olivier & Bianca Machliss as her teachers and continues a regular personal practice here several days a week.
She also studies regularly at Jivamukti Yoga, Newtown where she underwent her Teacher Training with Katie Manitsas, Idit Tamir and Sue White. It was here that she was was introduced to other styles of yoga including Jivamukti and Kundalini.
Rebecca deepens her knowledge of yoga through regularly attending workshops by Sharon Gannon, David Life, Donna Farhi, Kamala Devi, Simon Borg-Olivier, Noah Maze and others on a variety of topics such as Yoga Anatomy & Physiology, Spinal Integration, Anusara Yoga, Subtle Anatomy, Sanskrit and much more.
She has a gentle approach and brings her love of yoga and desire to share the benefits with all to her classes.
A new little soul has joined us........
Nice and early at 4.36am on Friday 13 May 2011, Otis Marotea John Roger Vincent-Shaw joined us in the world, weighing a healthy 3.67kg. It was a challenging but beautiful water birth on what some would call "Black Friday", but to us was one of the most precious days of the year and, undoubtedly, our lives.
Giving birth is the ultimate exhale and it's through the peaceful breath of the mother that we can bring life graciously in to the world.
I extend my deepest gratitude to all my beautiful students for their warmth and love during this time.
Namaste, Rebecca
Welcome to our beautiful little Otis........
