Ann Michelle - Yoga and Pilates Teacher, Owner
“It is a beautiful thing to watch peoples bodies unfold and become stronger; to see the shift in consciousness as a person becomes more connected and centred in themselves. I love this journey”
Feeling strong, agile and comfortable in her body is what inspires Ann to practice and teach Yoga and Pilates.
I found yoga in my twenties when my body was bound up from the gym, sport, running and emotional storing. Pilates came after having my children and the need for some core focus was high on the agenda.
Both modalities have given me freedom, strength and flexibility in my body. I am grateful for these practices.
My journey with Yoga has spanned over 25 years practicing and teaching in Hatha, Iyengar, Astanga, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. I was previously a Pharmacist.
My Pilates journey began 10 years ago as I became more interested in core stability and functional movement.
I have been privileged to study with some wonderful Yoga teachers – Mira Mehta, John Scott, Peter Sanson, at the Astanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India with Patthabi Jois, Markus Henning Giess, Karin Sang and Jo Phee, an exceptional Yin Yoga practitioner and trainer.
My Pilates training has been with Polestar and I am a Polestar qualified Mat and Reformer instructor.
I like to bring depth and awareness to my teaching. It’s not just about Yoga poses or Pilates exercises. It’s about getting to know your body in the most intimate way and being deeply connected with it.
My intention is to bring this awareness to students so they can integrate it as they move in their own lives.
See you in class.
Angela McEntee - Yoga Teacher
Angela completed her 200hr yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India in 2016.
She was trained in the yoga styles of Ashtanga and Vinyasa.
Having always enioyed the physical practice of yoga, it wasnt until she noticed how helpful it was for her own mental and spiritual well-being that she decided to undergo teacher training so that she herself could teach the many benefits of yoga.
Angela enjoys practising many types of yoga and enjoys the opportunity to also teach both vinyasa and yin, after recently completing her 100hr yin yoga teacher training in June 2021.
Angela teaches Yoga Flow one a month on Saturdays.
Jess Lockwood - Pilates Mat Teacher
As an early childhood teacher by day, teaching comes naturally to Jess. She fell in love with the art of Pilates after spending a number of years being guided by local Pilates instructors, and from here, her interest in Pilates instructing came to light. Jess completed her mat training through Polestar Pilates in 2021, and sat her exam in 2023.
Jess is most passionate about mat Pilates because she loves reminding clients what their bodies are capable of and giving them the skills to continue their Pilates journey through all aspects of life, not just in the studio.
Jess teaches in the studio on a Tuesday evening and is an inspiring and enthusiastic teacher. You will love her class.
