DEE TAUEKI

I immediately fell in love with the physicality of the power yoga practice and the intensity of it as well as the sweat factor!! I was already working in the fitness industry as a personal trainer and a group exercise instructor, so yoga fitted into my lifestyle perfectly. I was a dedicated student for a few years before I decided to do my teacher training. I actually didn’t do the teacher training to teach yoga, I did it because over the years I had been practicing yoga I had witnessed significant transformations of close people around me and I wanted to learn more about the history, physiology and psychology of the yogic practice. Teacher training confirmed to me that I was on the right path and that yoga was the direction I wanted to head – basically, it changed my life!! I felt a sense of necessity to share my knowledge and experience with as many people as I could – so I started teaching A LOT!!

Over the years, I have taught in various yoga studios and gyms across Melbourne and Sydney. I have facilitated workshops and retreats and I am a registered teacher trainer. I absolutely LOVE sharing the gift of yoga with everyone but especially with people who have not experienced our style of yoga before. I remember walking out of my first class with the biggest smile on my face and a sense of clarity, understanding and acceptance. I felt like I could conquer the world!! I love seeing that same face on so many others that experience it for the first time or for the five hundredth time. I remind myself every day that I am very lucky to have found yoga. Yoga is not just what I do… it is a big part of who I am!!
