Estelle (Stel) - Owner of Kindred Warrior

Stel teaches from a place of love and compassion. She sees the practice of yoga as a therapy for the mind and soul and considers herself very fortunate to share her yoga experiences with others.

Stel is a Yoga teacher, wellness coach and certified energy healer. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, writer and podcaster specialising in spiritual, emotional, and holistic healing. Through her extensive training in energy healing modalities, EFT tapping and cognitive behavioural therapy, she can effectively help people to heal themselves, remove negative energy from their bodies, improve their self-confidence and better manage stress. With over four years of experience practicing energy healing, Stel also has a background as a Pranic healer, and 350 hours of yoga training in Hatha, Restorative, and Breathwork. She believes that complete healing is possible with the right mindset, openness, and ability to ask for help.

She enjoys supporting students along their respective journeys and believes a yoga practice helps us understand the connection\ disconnection between mind and body.

Her Vinyasa style classes encourage students to dive into the self-transformation that yoga provides. With unique and fluid sequencing she encourages you to switch off your auto-pilot and practice in a more mindful and present way.

Stel first discovered the power of yoga whilst studying at Uni in 2002. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, she got to know many yoga styles and was always eager to learn more about the practice.

 In 2016, Estelle moved to Melbourne attending as many classes and workshops as she could find. It was in an anatomy-based workshop where Estelle experienced a sense of home and community that inspired her to follow the path of teaching yoga.

Jake

I started practising yoga 8 years ago to complement my Meditation practice, and have found that Yoga has not only deepened my Meditation practice but also improved my wellbeing and overall health. I’m passionate about the mental and physical benefits of Yoga, and how it can help us to connect with ourselves and others in a more meaningful way. I like to teach classes with an emphasis on present moment awareness and calming the mind. Apart from Yoga and Meditation, I like to play music, I mainly play guitar and bass guitar. I also love hiking out in nature, which I find to be very calming and grounding.

She started teaching yoga in Berlin where she lived and as her nomadic soul was asking she kept moving and teaching on her way.
