About your hosts

Celia Brisa

Yoga has always been my home. Since being taken to class ​by my Mum at 16, I have always gone to my mat for feeling ​both anchored and expanded, for calming my mind and ​feeling more self love. At 16 yoga helped me feel the bigger, ​more infinite version of me not just the shy and stressed ​school girl. And this still stands true.

I first trained in Japanese yoga in Australia in 1995 and then ​found my love of Kundalini yoga at an ashram in Rishikesh ​India in 2006. After completing my kundalini yoga teacher ​training in New York, I returned to Australia to study a degree ​in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine while teaching yoga ​with Michele in our Sydney yoga studio.

Teaching yoga, working as a practitioner and being a mother ​to my two children has kept me committed to my purpose of ​living a conscious life from the heart with a childlike sense of ​wonder .

I love travelling and living surrounded by nature, to be in the ​appreciation and awe of something bigger and more ​elevated than our busy, anxious minds. We humans have all ​the wisdom of nature in us but we so often need reminding .

My prayer is that in every class, every workshop or retreat that ​I guide others to feel their innate connection to joy, to the ​empowerment of being present and to the magnitude of ​their infinite self.

Michele Finato

Two decades ago, Kundalini yoga and meditation had a ​profound effect on my physical, mental and emotional body, ​inspiring me to become a certified kundalini yoga, yin yoga, and ​mindfulness meditation teacher, as well as a health coach and ​nutritionist.

My deep passion is to empower women to live their most ​authentic life, achieve vibrant health and thrive. Emphasizing, ​nourishing food, strength-building movement, self love and ​mindful living. Truly living, not just existing.

With roots in Australia and Italy I've spent the last 13 years in ​southern France, teaching and sharing my journey. My deep ​connection to Italy's culture and cuisine, combined with a ​passion for travel and exploration, inspired me to create ​transformative retreats that blend wellness, culture, and ​connection.

Testimonial

“When I walked into Celia and Michele’s yoga studio I wasn’t sure ​what to expect as I hadn’t practiced Kundalini yoga before. The only ​thing I knew was that I wanted to work on my mind and body.

Celia and Michele were so welcoming, and their warmth and ​compassion just made me feel so comfortable.

I realized after my first lesson that there was nothing to be ​concerned about. I had landed in the right place at the right time ​with the practice making me mentally and physically stronger.

I cannot thank Celia and Michele enough for sharing their ​knowledge. It certainly was a transformative time for me. I highly ​recommend these two beautiful yoga teachers.” Rita H.
