Jenny has been studying Ashtanga yoga for 10 years, and studied Iyengar yoga for 7 years prior to that. She went to Mysore, India in 1999 to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and has done numerous Ashtanga yoga workshops with Sharath Rangaswamy, Peter Sanson, Dena Kinsberg, Lino Meile and John Scott over the years.


Stephanie has been practicing various styles of yoga for 10 years, the last four of which have been dedicated to daily Ashtanga vinyasa yoga. In 2004 Stephanie and her family traveled to India for 3 months where she studied with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) and his grandson, Sharath. In 2006 she traveled to San Francisco to practice with Guruji on the US tour, and also attended Sharath’s workshop in Auckland in early December. Stephanie is also sincerely grateful for the opportunities she has had to practice with New Zealand senior teacher, Peter Sanson, as well as the teachers at the Auckland Yoga Academy. She has been teaching Ashtanga for the past 3 years and has completed the Yoga Alliance 500 hour teacher training course in Ashtanga at the Auckland Yoga Academy under Peter Nilsson and Jude Hynes.
