Maria Aguilo Argos
Yin, Restorative Yoga
READ BIO
Maria’s practice focuses on self-discovery through yoga, moving beyond nourishing the body but also the mind and soul. She gained her teacher training in London in 2017, with 200 hour certification in Vinyasa flow and 70 hours Yin Yoga. Maria has been practicing several disciplines for 10 years, and has practiced all over the world.
She draws particular inspiration from Mexico, where her mentor still teaches on the Mayan coast, and where she did her last teacher training in September 2018. The teacher training was a 90-hour intensive course in Padma Mudra, and is her mentor’s masterpiece after 35 years of devotion.
Maria spent the last 6 years in London, and moved to Sydney in February. Having previously worked in finance, she began following her true passion in London as a yoga teacher and well-being consultant for Lloyds of London, and developed a portfolio of clients in the UK under her brand, Sawabona. She delivered three seasons of successful yoga retreats to her home of Spain.
Maria is dedicated to helping those with busy lives discover inner-peace, community and healthy living through the practice of yoga and meditation.
Lou Lemaistre
Flow Yoga
READ BIO
Lou enjoys teaching energetic flows, mixing creative sequencing and functional alignment to help students find both ease and steadiness. “My intention is to empower students to open not just their body but also their mind & their heart”.
Lou started her own journey 10 years ago, while she worked in the fast-paced European start-up scene and was running out of steam. The practice of Yoga asanas & meditation became a potent medicine to heal the imbalance and disconnection she felt.
She got hooked! The self-inquiry her yoga path led her through opened a new door to a magnificent world. Her teacher training was the beginning to a new path which unfolded knowledge, exploring and fulfilling her curiosity. “The more I gave it the more it gave back, so I decided to go all in”.
Simone Lai
Flow Yoga
READ BIO
Sim’s first memories of yoga are being “babysat” by swamis at the local Ashram and going to the classes her mother taught on school holidays. Over 25 years Sim has found Tapas in the firm of consistently returning to the mat, her way to find balance off the mat inspired by “Do your practice and all is coming” from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
In 2015, a desire to deepen her practice beyond the physical led her to complete her 500 hour teacher training at Suhka Mukha yoga under Idit Tamir and Katie Manitis. Extensive training with Donna Farhi over the years depended Simone’s respect and understanding of the traditions and techniques of yoga whilst embracing and integrating current research and science. Her further studies include health Coaching with the Institute of Motion (functional movement), Release Move Improve system (Myofascial release through movement), Developmental movement patterns in Exercise (Dynamic neuromuscular Stabilization) and Phase Six (primal movement).
Sim hopes to help students inhabit and move their bodies through a mindful, light-hearted, alignment-focused and sometimes challenging practice, drawing from her own experience and love of yoga in many forms.
