" When I moved home to Benalla from Melbourne my aim was to provide a space to share yoga. I set class times and if someone turned up, brilliant, I shared a class - otherwise I would use the time for my own practice. My goal was to simply provide a yoga space and some props to share what I had learnt. The practice of yoga was too good to keep to myself.
I began teaching yoga in Benalla August 2015." - Kelly Mort.

Kara Wheatley
Yoga Teacher, Melbourne based. Kara offers occasional weekend classes & workshops from our Mind Body Space Studio.
"I was reluctantly dragged into my first yoga class in 2010. Coming from a running, weights, kick boxing and anxious background, the thought of stillness terrified me. But I quickly realized that “yoga” wasn’t just stillness. There was strong movement – a type of movement that gave me something to really focus on. I was instantly drawn to the challenge of both strength and flexibility. It wasn’t long until I shocked my family and friends by moving to NYC in 2012 to start the epic journey of my Teacher Training.
I spent 6 month in New York City where I completed Level one and two with Baron Baptiste and a further 200 hours with Laughing Lotus. Since then completing Level three and Art Of Assisting with Baptiste Yoga, Yin training with Powerliving and Advanced Asana Training with Cassie Lee. Now currently training my 500 hours with Tiffany Cruikshank and Yoga Medicine.
I now work full time as a Yoga Teacher in Melbourne teaching between studios, corporate yoga and ‘Yoga for Athletes’.
My classes are educational, dynamic and FUN!"
We love having Kara share her yoga experience with us at the studio, Benalla is very lucky to receive the classes from such a senior yoga instructor.

Kirri Brightmore
Yoga Teacher
Hatha & Vinyasa
Kirri completed her Teacher Training this year (2020) between covid lockdowns, luckily she was able to make it to the Byron Yoga Centre for this experience in person and not via zoom!
Kirri is Hatha trained with a great understanding of alignment and traditional postures, however her practice will evolve and i'm sure she will lead a dynamic and fun practice for those more experienced attendees as time goes by, leading to a Hatha Flow style of class. Kirri has a wonderful bubbly nature, we cannot wait to see her teaching evolve and grow.
