About Rebecca

While Rebecca dabbled in yoga throughout her life, it wasn’t until her first pregnancy that the full extent of yoga’s benefits became apparent to her.  Yoga was a source of calm, strength, and empowerment that helped her through not only the birth of her first child but also life on the other side. Her passion (and need!) for yoga has only grown since having her other two children.

Since completing her Diploma in Yoga Teaching, Rebecca has taught general classes, prenatal classes, kids' classes, seniors' classes, as well as corporate and private classes. She also teaches Active Birth Workshops. Before moving to Melbourne, Rebecca was the founder and facilitator of the Glenbrook Positive Birth Movement chapter, running monthly meet-ups for 5 years.
