Christina Howley (Sol Studio Yoga) has been practicing yoga for 24 years and is certified through the intensive (800+ hour) Satyananda style Yoga Studies course at Mangrove Mountain ashram (NSW). Her first mentor was Cooktown legend Swami Kedar Saraswati (Betsy). Christina will lead a range of classes from advanced asana (stretches) to breathwork (pranayama) and meditation. 

Nettie Luthi (Sanyassi Arundhati Saraswati) has been teaching yoga in Cooktown since 1993. Nettie initially trained with the International Yoga Teachers' Association, then at the Satyananda ashrams in Mungyr, India and Mangrove Mountain (NSW). Nettie will lead a variety of sessions, from gentle asana to meditation and chakra drawing.

Margo Steiner has been teaching yoga classes in the Bloomfield valley since 2012.  The yoga classes she teaches are hatha style with a vinyasa flow to keep the connection between breath and movement present. She trained in Cairns through Knoff Yoga and continues her journey of discovery and understanding with yoga through applying herself to high levels of training.
