Kirstys passion for movement stems from her early involvement in dance and gymnastics throughout her childhood and into her early twenties.
Her creative nature then led to almost 20 years, working in the film and television industry, in the Design Department.
The long and often intense work days, coupled with the arrival of two children, led to her developing a number of autoimmune conditions.
It was at this point that Kirsty sought refuge in yoga and really began to look at life through a different lens.
After twelve plus years of dedicated yoga, and experiencing first hand the healing benefits to both her health and mind, Kirsty made the decision to dedicate the next stage of her life to sharing her love of yoga with others.
“Yoga has enabled me to grow stronger mentally, emotionally and physically and become more flexible both on and off the mat.
Every day yoga teaches me the importance of showing up for myself in the most loving way possible.
Yoga inspires me to live my life more truthfully and each moment more mindfully.”
Kirsty has more than 500 hours training in Yin yoga and Vinyasa Yoga combined
She is a compassionate teacher, who crafts thoughtful sequencing with a focus on optimal alignment for every body.
Her passion for movement and yoga philosophy will encourage students to deepen their understanding of both their bodies and themselves.

Amelia grew up with both parents dedicated practitioners of Ashtanga Yoga. From as young as 3 she has memories of waking up early and lying in the yoga room dozing to the sound of their breath as they went through their practice. Whilst it may have taken her a few years to find her own practice, yoga has been with her for as long as she can remember.
In her teens Amelia went through a challenging period dealing with moments of depression and an eating disorder. Amelia can now find gratitude for this time as it put her on a new path, where finding peace and more ease in her mind and therefore her life became her number one priority. Amelia’s yoga practice and dedication to The Work of Byron Katie (workshops offered at Easwest) are the two practices that supported her to work through these hard times, unraveling stressful stories and beliefs to find a real sense of love for herself, her body and her life. Amelia’s passion is to share these practices with others, as they have had such a profound impact on her life.
Amelia completed her 200hr teacher training with Powerliving in 2014 and has been teaching Power Vinyasa since then. Last year she completed her 300hr teacher training with Noah Maze.
For Amelia yoga is all about quieting the mind, turning the focus inward, and becoming present. Her classes are dynamic with a strong focus on the breath, encouraging students to get present, to do their work, and to bring more kindness and love to themselves and their bodies wherever their at moment to moment.

Sheryns other loves are her growing family, adult children, in laws, grand baby and grand doggies, walking, hanging with friends, reading, eating and laughing lots. She is delighted to co-own Eastwest with her daughter Amelia and friend, Kirsty, and making lots of new friends in the community.

“I had practiced a variety of yoga on and off, but when I discovered Bikram yoga in London 2002 and I was hooked.
Nothing makes me feel as centered or as cleansed as a hot yoga class.
So I completed Bikram teacher training in 2006 which became the start of my serious yoga journey.
Since then I have completed the advanced bikram training and studied further into the advanced series with Tony Sanchez in Mexico.
I have also studied Yin yoga with teacher Jo Phee, and continue to study using yoga as a therapy for trauma.
There is always so much more to learn, discover and share.
Yoga has made my body healthy and strong, but for me, the biggest change is the inner joy and peace that I now have.
