About Iris
Iris discovered Yoga while searching for a lasting solution to the recurrent back problems she faced after an accident in her 20s. What began as a physical remedy quickly evolved into a source of immense joy and peace of mind. She became captivated by the buoyancy that comes from synchronizing movement with breath, and after five years of dedicated practice, she decided to leave behind her corporate career to pursue her passion as a Yoga teacher.​Her journey started with Hatha training in Spain, which later expanded to include Yin, Vinyasa, and Meditation. Iris, having endured years of chronic pain, is passionate about helping others build strength and comfort in their bodies, aiming for a life free from pain and full of joy. She brings a down-to-earth approach to Yoga, guiding her students through fluid, fun, and creative flows that uplift the spirit.
Since 2014, Iris has been teaching private, corporate, and studio classes in Brisbane. Her sessions range from gentle to dynamic, catering to all levels of experience. Whether you're curious about Yoga, seeking better physical health, or ready to elevate your consciousness, Iris believes that Yoga is worth exploring. Whatever your goal, you'll experience a sense of well-being from the moment you start.
