meet our team

Chloe Mez

I found yoga to settle my anxiety, something I battled with since a teenager. However, it wasn’t until my 9 month adventure in South America in 2014, that I obtained my 200HR Yoga training in Mexico, and continued to share my love of yoga on the shores of Central America.  Since then, I have also completed my 300HR Yoga Training in Bali with Kula Collective, 50HR Yin Training in Melbourne and 60HR Trauma-Informed Yoga Training in Bali.

Now, back in my home town of Melbourne, I carry those influences and experiences into the studio. My Vinyasa classes are challenging but inviting. My Yin classes are grounding and I always encourage students to explore the connection between mind and body, in a safe and nurturing space.

Kristie

Ever since my first yoga class in my early 20s I knew I wanted to become a teacher and share this beautiful practice with people. Pilates and Barre on the other hand terrified me – that burn was INTENSE!!!  Fast forward through almost 15 years of self practice, lots of encouraging conversations, lots of self doubt and a few teacher trainings later and I could not imagine my life without Yoga, Pilates or Barre.

In 2016, I completed Yoga and Pilates studies under the guidance of Michelle Cassidy at Essence of Living on the Gold Coast and have been teaching ever since. Sharing these practices with others, and empowering people to find joy in movement is my passion and I am grateful every day that I get to call this my job!

Whatever movement modality you join me for my style is dynamic and intense. Expect to sweat in strong vinyasa classes filled with lots of chatarungas or Barre where just when you think you’ve had enough we add in a pulse set.  I love to make your legs quiver, your abs shake and your booty burn. All with a smile on my face, a sense of humour, an evil laugh and a banging play list. Can’t wait to meet you on the mat lovers Kx

Kody Galea

Kody’s classes focus on the transitions and feeling connected with the body, mind and breath. Kody discovered yoga in 2017, and fell in love with this way to create peace with anxiety and found strength in her physical body after years of injuries. In 2018, Kody did her 200 hour Yoga training with Power Living, and 50 hour Yin Yoga training with Hugh Lee. In 2019, Kody trained in aerial yoga, mat and reformer pilates.

More recently Kody completed the Art of Assisting and Prenatal Yoga trainings with Cecily Chun. This variety of practises and trainings have allowed Kody to offer diversity and creativity in her teaching, delivered in a nurturing, fun-loving way.

Melissa Bell

As a professional dancer and aerialist, also a dance teacher, Melissa has worked many years abroad until she found yoga through her love for dance.

Initially attracted to the physical benefits, she quickly discovered the many other positive healing effects of practicing yoga. Her extensive movement background influences her emphasis on consciousness of the mind, body and breath connection.

Her classes are energising and suitable for all levels.

Lucy Liga

Lucy has a passion for exploration, curiosity and-accessing inner wisdom through meditation, yoga and qigong.

She loves all aspects of yoga and sharing it with others so each person can find the depth and value of the practice for themselves.

She loves watching students feel into the body, release layers of holding and tension and find a freedom of expression: free from doubt, fear, comparison and judgement, seeing that beautiful moment where each students meets themselves on the mat fully and completely.
