Kirsten Nielsen is an internationally recognised Yoga Alliance E-RYT yoga teacher with nearly 12 years of experience guiding students through yoga's transformative journey. As the founder and lead facilitator of Soul Studies Yoga Teacher Training, Kirsten brings a rare blend of depth, warmth, and clarity to her teachings—rooted in both tradition and lived experience.

Meet Your Lead Facilitator – Tal Derhy

Guide. Healer. Living proof. 

With over a decade of experience guiding others through the practice of yoga, Tal brings a rare depth to his teaching — one that can only come through lived transformation. After a near-fatal accident left him paralysed from the neck down and told he would never walk again, it was the practice of yoga — breath by breath, moment by moment — that helped him reclaim not only movement, but life itself.

His classes are grounded, spacious, and rooted in compassion. Drawing from years of immersion in yogic philosophy, embodied movement, and nervous system repair, Tal meets each student exactly where they are, holding space for growth that is both powerful and gentle.

  In the Soul Studies 200hr Hybrid Yoga Teacher Training, Tal will be one of your lead facilitators during the in-person immersion in Goa, alongside founder Kirsten Nielsen. Together, they hold space for personal evolution, conscious teaching, and soulful connection.

Tal’s teaching goes far beyond the physical postures—it’s an invitation to meet yourself fully, heal from within, and remember what’s possible when body, breath, and spirit are aligned.

This training is more than just a certification—it’s a journey home to your innate power. And Tal is honoured to walk that path beside you.

Meet Your Anatomy Teacher – Chloe Jamieson

Chloe Jamieson is a passionate and highly experienced physiotherapist who brings a deep, embodied understanding of anatomy, movement, and yoga to her teaching. Specialising in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, women’s pelvic health, and exercise rehabilitation, Chloe integrates her clinical expertise with a holistic, heart-led approach to movement and wellness.

With a background in elite-level athletics, Chloe’s fascination with the body began through her own experience of movement, recovery, and performance. She holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Griffith University and has completed further studies in Women’s Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy, bringing both depth and nuance to her work—especially in areas of support for women and yoga practitioners.

As your anatomy teacher in the 200hr training, Chloe makes anatomy feel practical, relevant, and empowering. Her sessions are designed to give you a clear and grounded understanding of how the body moves, how to support students safely, and how to teach yoga with greater confidence, clarity, and care.

When she’s not working with clients at Soult Physio, Chloe is likely to be found surfing, running, practicing yoga, or embracing the laid-back coastal lifestyle of the Northern Rivers. Her energy is warm, approachable, and deeply rooted in service and education.
