Meet your Facilitators and teachers.
Jules & Kelly
Jules and Kelly first met in the beautiful one Bhakti in Sri Lanka in 2025. It didn't take long for us to realise we shared the same vision to create spaces where people could reconnect with themselves through heartfelt practice, community, and authentic teaching.
With our complementary backgrounds in Yin Yoga and Bhakti, we knew our teachings were meant to come together. By weaving the stillness and therapeutic depth of Yin with the uplifting, heart-opening practices of Bhakti, we offer a unique and balanced experience that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
Together, we are honoured to share these trainings with you and to create a supportive space for learning, connection, and transformation.
Jules
Yoga teacher / Teacher Trainer / Reiki Practitioner
At an early age, Jules was able to create an understanding of movement and flow through calisthenics and ballet. The practice and spirituality of yoga later came to her as a way to continue to move, teach and travel around the world. Both in teaching, and her own practice, she focuses on the old traditions & practices of yoga while bringing an incredible, modern personality to the practice.
Practicing yoga during her teenage years, Jules began to embark on learning yoga more deeply in January 2013. Her first teacher training was spanned across twelve months in 2012 studying Amrit Yoga-Meditation in Motion, mentored for another twelve months before she was given the permission to teach. The commitment and dedication ignited a sense of curiosity.
Developing a rich tapestry in yoga education since the completion of her first teacher training, she went on to study Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Reiki. The magic of yoga unveiled to her with such grace and her ability to conjure up her own powers to display for her students a connection to the ancient traditions and practice of yoga.
Jules has been guided under many local and international teachers, namely under the tutelage of global Prana Flow Teacher Shiva Rea. Assisting Shiva in international retreats and teacher trainings in Australia and Costa Rica. Further leading to her own retreats, immersions, teacher training in Bali, Sri Lanka and Australia.
Her teachings consist of mantras, mudras, pranayama, and asana, expanding into an embodied yogic journey. She encourages growth and interconnection of the physical and spiritual self within students, and seeks to help others thrive by nurturing their own body and soul wisdom through yoga. Jules’ hopes her students will step off their mat and into everyday life with that same nourishment and compassion to life.
