About Private Yoga Trainings Contact

Hi! I’m Kirsten

................

I’m an internationally recognised Yoga Alliance E-RYT yoga teacher with nearly 12 years of experience, having taught in over 15 studios and contributed to multiple teacher trainings before creating my own—Soul Studies Yoga Teacher Training. My path has been one of deep exploration, dedication, and heart.
 
My approach to teaching mirrors how I live: light but grounded, present yet playful, always mindful of the unique limitations and potential in each of us. With a smile and a genuine love for what I do, I aim to inspire, challenge, and create a space where fear melts away and growth can unfold.
 
Yoga has taken me across the globe, studying and training in various traditions, amassing over 1300 hours of teacher training and a diploma in Yoga. My classes reflect this deep well of knowledge and passion—blending invigorating, alignment-based vinyasa with soulful yogic philosophy and rich, meditative stillness. I encourage students to explore self-expression in their practice, finding a quieter, more introspective space free from reaction and judgment.
 
In 2015, after moving from London to Australia, I discovered a new rhythm of mindfulness through surfing. This fusion of movement, nature, and empowerment inspired the creation of Shaka Shakti, a soulful retreat combining yoga, surf, and sisterhood. It’s become a sanctuary for women to reconnect, recharge, and rise
