Yoga
Teachers and Practices
Jules is a highly experienced yogini devoted to conscious expression and movement. What began for her as a therapeutic physical yoga practice at an early age as a dancer, has evolved into a platform of self enquiry and a union between the inner and outer landscapes of her world.
Born in the outback of Australia, growing up in the cultural hub of Melbourne, traveling the world from a young age, and gaining curiosity into the world of yoga all led to Jules embarking on the yogic path in her early teenage years.
With discipline, determination and rich learnings, she grew quickly into the yoga community and is now one of Melbourne’s most admired Yoga Teachers. Continuing to teach and mentor her students in Melbourne from her island home Sri Lanka.
Her teachings place an emphasis on exploring boundaries, sharing her experiences as a student and teacher, as well as building endurance and compassion throughout the whole body. She is known for her strong but yet warm, explorative teaching style, coaxing her students to feel at home in their bodies, to soften and to connect from a place of patience and curiosity. Ensuring safe space is created for her students to examine the relationship between their internal and external worlds, Jules encourages her students to find freedom and compassion through an embodied, devotional practice, one which supports life’s changes and joys.
After studying Amrit Yoga-Meditation in Motion, Jules began teaching in 2013. She went on to study a unique fusion of Jivamukti, Anusara, Power and Yin Yoga which led her to train with and closely assist global Prana Flow teacher Shiva Rea. She has since been curating and teaching yoga retreats in Australia, Costa Rica, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. She is certified by Yoga Alliance as a 500 hour RYT, Continuing Education Provider, Level 4 Reiki Practitioner and Yoga Nidra Teacher.
Jess has been teaching at Camp Poe Ahangama for 3 years. In her Vinyasa flow style classes Jess encourages students to get in touch with and start to understand their bodies own intuitive and primordial wisdom. Through expressive movement and static grounding postures we can allow free flow of energy through all of our being translating to balance and health in our physical mental and emotional bodies.
Yin classes offer a chance for deeper work. Working into deeper muscle layers through longer held postures that target areas of emotional tension in the body. This allows us to release deeper held physical tension and the emotional trauma that creates it; this trauma patterns our behaviour and holds us back from knowing who and what we truely are. Beings of love, light, eternal beauty and infinite wisdom. Yin is a introspective practice, giving us time and space to access our own healing journey.
Yoga nidra is a bridge to our higher consciousness. The practice helps us concentrate the focus of the mind through guided meditation. Inducing a deep sleep state in the brain whilst fully conscious aids in the physical healing of the body and help us start to control our monkey minds and develop self-awareness. You will be guided from the most physical layer of the body to a place of stillness and silence that always exists within. A place you can learn to access and live from authentically always.

Raja (physical) yoga brought Jessica to the path of the Yogi but Bhakti (love) yoga has deepened her connection. Working with mantra and song has allowed her to express and embody her own divinity in a new way and to give thanks and pray for this path and healing for all our relations. She shares this through kirtan or singing circles, mantra workshops and sound healings.
She loves to offer circle work, singing circles, womens circles, cacao ceremonies and kambo circles to help us integrate the individual work we are all doing and to inspire each other on the journey..
