anne horsley

The principal of the Iyengar Yoga Centre of Rossmoyne is Anne Horsley (Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor - Junior Intermediate level III).

Anne has been practising and studying various aspects of yoga since 1971 and has been teaching yoga since 1980. For her, yoga is a way of life. As an accredited Iyengar yoga teacher, Anne considers her personal practice and continued study of yoga an integral part of her teaching, including regular visits to India to attend classes at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune.

Anne’s enthusiasm and love of yoga is apparent as she works with her students and encourages them to explore, understand and enhance their potential. Stressing that, “Yoga is about the journey, not the destination”, Anne encourages students of all levels and capabilities to work for themselves, in a non-competitive way, within a supportive and friendly environment.

Chris began the practice of yoga in 1980. It was very different to all other forms of physical movement she had tried and, as a tired mother of three, she would fall asleep during the relaxation at the end of every class! When living in Darwin she attended Iyengar Yoga classes for the first time and immediately felt tremendous benefits.  

On her return to Perth, Chris continued the practice and study of Iyengar yoga at the Iyengar Yoga Centre of Rossmoyne. Her passion for yoga ignited a flame that led her to become an Iyengar yoga teacher, passing her Introductory Level II certificate in May 2007. The journey continues with ongoing study and learning with the Iyengar Yoga Community, Anne Horsley and other senior teachers.

For Chris, yoga is an integral part of her life. The zest and discipline of her own practice is evident in her teaching and is transmitted to her students with sensitivity, an eye for detail, humour and caring.

 

“Yoga is the golden key which unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy.”
