Ari loves, lives and breathes yoga. From her first class as a uni student trying to get her life together, she became deeply and richly immersed in the practice, teachings and philosophy of yoga.

After a 20 year career in human rights law and conflict resolution, Ari had an epiphany. It was yoga that made her feel most alive. All the teachings over the years, her love of this beautiful practice started to make sense. Time to free her inner teacher and create a community space.

Ari has been teaching yoga for many years. She has completed many incredible teacher trainings, has lectured hundreds of yoga teacher trainees and has run many workshops and retreats.

For Ari, yoga is a holistic frame that guides her through life. It supports the way she parents, the way she partners and the way she lives.

Ari’s classes share breath, philosophy, laughter and connection. She teaches with an authenticity and wisdom that will deepen your practice and your connection to you.

Please join Ari and the wonderful team at The Yoga Space Melbourne to practice, breathe and grow together.

A dedicated yoga student who speaks authentically and from the heart, Stephanie loves to teach strong vinyasa classes, beginners and Yin – different class types that allow different parts of her personality to shine bright and support students.
