Imagine you are entering a temple where you can lay down your burdens and rest in the stillness. Experience Yoga is a peaceful, private studio set in a tranquil Japanese garden, located in Brighton, Australia. This serene ambience and calm outlook embody that yoga is more than a physical practice. Experience Yoga teaches traditional yoga classes alongside therapeutic courses, bringing health and well-being to those seeking a more balanced life.
Create strength, vitality, inner peace and courage in your life through regular yoga practice. Learn Integral Yoga a scientific system that when practised regularly invites you to go deeper and feed your soul's desire for growth and wellness. In small tailored classes slow down your mind to experience your natural state of ease again.
The ancient science of yoga has long been understood as the panacea for good health. Yoga Therapy applies all these principles of yoga to support you to create long-lasting change. Come and learn how to be responsible to manage your own health. Release unnecessary emotions, thoughts and actions that come from 'pushing' yourself physically or mentally.
I've worked in the healthcare profession for over 40 years, facilitating others to health, well-being and wholeness. This has included working in young adult neurological rehabilitation, facilitating national health research, professional writing for online mediums and quality systems management.

Now as a Yoga Therapist (with a yoga business of some 15 years) I work with clients in group classes and privately for yoga therapy, who learn healthy ways to manage their injuries, health conditions, thoughts, moods and emotions for the long term.
When you hear a story that resembles some part of your life, of something you feel or some dream you have, you connect with that story on a much deeper level. I have been practising with Caroline for 8 years now and have followed her to several venues and class times.

Besides being a beautiful yoga teacher who works within her student's abilities, she is always encouraging development and self-challenge, Caroline is remarkably kind and patient, amazingly generous with both her time and her knowledge.Caroline is an incredibly gifted teacher creating a compassionate atmosphere in her warm well-appointed studio.

In April this year, I started to see Caroline on the advise of my acupuncturist for therapy and mobility for my knee which had multiple surgeries due to an accident at work. I had previous help from other professions but was still in a lot of pain and not progressing with getting strength back in my knee. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had only done the usual yoga classes on u tube or at a gym.
After only the first session of gentile movements guided by Caroline's expertise I found it very therapeutic and helpful with reducing the fluid and pain in my knee. I found the exercises easy to do

I've just completed one of Caroline's on-line courses on Restorative Yoga. This course was run in Caroline's typical friendly & professional manner. It has motivated me to start & stick to a regular evening Restorative practice on my own at home. This type of practice leaves me feeling deeply rested & nurtured.

Caroline is an encouraging teacher, and an excellent communicator. I use her online lessons and find that every day in my practice I can be surprised to hear and learn something new that is always a little gem of insight and awareness. I am delighted with her gentle, knowedgeable guidance, and so grateful for its ongoing benefits to my well being.

I would like to recommend Caroline’s online course ‘Move with ease’ as a supportive practice for all.
I’m 65 years of age with health issues I’m adjusting to living with and found this course to be both easeful and beneficial. The course has taught me simple practices that I can integrate into my daily living. I’ve found that setting a goal of 15 minutes practise per day is achievable and have felt the benefits of this.
The guidance Caroline provides in the videos and notes and the pace of the instructions given, builds the confidence needed to believe that when given the appropriate

I am a community health nurse and was looking for an experienced, therapeutic yoga teacher for a mature patient of mine. We needed someone who could work with joint limitations (due to knee issues) and was trauma informed in their approach. Yoga was identified as a gentle exercise that incorporates calming mindfulness strategies. Caroline has been incredibly professional in her approach and has liaised with my patients physiotherapist to incorporate a multidisciplinary approach.
The comment from my patient is ...
“I just love going to yoga with Caroline. I feel more centred and that it is helping

I was introduced to Caroline via a recommendation from a friend who is also a yoga practitioner. I was looking for a teacher to help me work on some specific areas with a focus on balance, core strength and relaxation. A series of one-to-one sessions has worked brilliantly and I would recommend Caroline without hesitation. She is an excellent listener, a careful observer and very good communicator
I’m pleased to recommend Caroline to others. Her focus on the individual needs of those under her tutelage, the small group sizes and the excellent environment all go together to deliver a successful

Deeply habituated work postures e.g. grasping the mouse tight in the right hand whilst 'thinking' at the computer, have resulted in some tight muscles and neck pain. The Restorative Yoga session helped to unravel this tension and left me feeling refreshed and more aware of some of these entrenched patterns. Caroline's attention to detail in the creation of her welcoming studio space - and her calm and informative teaching style is much appreciated. Thank you.

I attended a yoga class on Thursday evening after a busy and stressful day. The studio in east Brighton is beautiful and provides an ideal space to let stresses and strains melt away. Caroline has a gentle and welcoming approach and I received expert, tailored guidance, something Caroline was able to offer each participant. I have no hesitation in recommending Experience Yoga.

I've just experienced my first ever Yoga session with Caroline! Thank you for your confident and skilful way in which you conducted the class and looked after everyone in such a caring way. I certainly felt the… benefits of stretching as I feel so much better today. I have also incorporated the breathing and stretching exercises into my gym program this morning. We can never learn enough can we Caroline? Thank you again.

I have been attending yoga classes with Caroline for the last 4 years. I love my weekly yoga sessions as they have helped me in so many ways. Bringing awareness to my core, improving my flexibility and helping… with my upper body strength. All these have helped me to continue playing hockey without having to go to see the Osteopath or Physiotherapist so often. I also love the small classes and how Caroline takes us slowly and carefully through steps so we can continue to progress along our yoga journey. I am learning to breathe more deeply and to meditate both of which are a challenge for

I had been meaning to start practicing yoga for a long time and then just decided to start one day.
Now I cannot imagine a week without Caroline' sessions. I am very appreciative of the style that Caroline… follows during the class, very clearly explaining the postures and how we can adapt them for beginner - advanced levels. I feel so much fresher and ready to take on the day after my session.
Thanks again, Caroline..!!

Caroline is absolutely fantastic! Her classes are small, which is so much nicer and less intimidating than yoga classes at any gym I've been to. It also means that she's able to give individual advice on how to properly hold the poses, while keeping in mind any previous injuries, as well as being aware of what your strengths are, which I've found really helpful (as well as actually making it a more personal, tailored experience). Her studio is quiet, comfortable, and welcoming.
For someone like me, who's only ever toyed with the idea of practicing yoga, it's helpful that all of the props are provided
