Our studio is continuing to grow and to bloom. We just opened our doors in December 2010 and recently celebrated our first anniversary.  We look forward to consolidating our existing practices and to expanding by creating more classes for our students in 2012 to meet the communities needs.

Our philosophy at the YogAbode is simple: We seek to help you to live in your body, to adapt and shape the yoga to fit you, to nourish and replenish you in the practice so that your life feels happier, peaceful and fulfilled.

Our principal teacher is Aletia Artemis.  Her mother was born and raised in northern India and Aletia has a great depth of understanding of the histories of yoga and yogic philosophies.  She still has relatives living in India and feels a wonderful connection with the practice of Yoga.  Aletia has trained for 18 years and her yoga journey has spanned continents and styles.  She began training in Hatha Yoga in Perth, WA, and then later spent time working with Iyengar techniques. Whilst studying with Linda Healy, Aletia met Monica Gaucci and began to learn Astanga Yoga.  She then moved east to Victoria and continued to study Iyengar and Astanga at seperate studios.  In 1995 she moved to Asia and spent time studying Tai Chi, Thai Massage and Yoga.  In 1997 she went to India and studied Iyengar in Rishikesh for 4 months.  In 1998 she returned to India and went to study Astanga with Guruji in Mysore. She studied at the old shala under the watch of Guruji for 4 months.

Returning to Australia in 1999, Aletia began teaching for Alex Armstrong and The Yoga Centre Nedlands.  She then trained with FINY to establish her teaching practice.  Since then, Aletia has spent time both teaching and practicing yoga.  After a 3 year break from teaching, she re-did her qualifications to meet the registration needs of Yoga Australia.  She gained a certification from The Yoga Space for completing this course.  She has also studied Yin Yoga with Victor Chng and has Yin

Teaching Certification.
