Lead Teacher Miriam Van Doorn
Miriam first came to yoga because of sciatica and scoliosis. After attending her first yoga class in 1995 she noticed that her body felt much better and over time her posture started to improve and she had no more pain. With regular practice, she discovered yoga’s benefits in both body and mind, planting a seed that has never stopped growing. “This was my turning point to start studying yoga and become a teacher myself as I wanted to delve deeper and find out how this was at all possible, I have never looked back since.” Miriam has studied with some of the world's best teachers both in Australia and internationally. She has now been teaching for 20 years and is a E-RYT 500 and Level 3 Senior teacher (the highest possible designations!). As one of Brisbane's most senior and loved yoga teachers, you can be assured that you are in the safest of hands! Miriam leads retreats both locally and internationally, as well as sold out workshops, classes and courses. She is an expert in yoga for women's health and has a passion for prenatal and antenatal yoga. She has a 12 yr old son Keanu, likes the occasional cheeky glass of bubbles and if you're lucky she'll sing to you in savasana. It's amazing - we promise! |

Principal PJ Wells
PJ created Stretch Yoga in 2015 and has been firmly at it's helm ever since! She is now in her 6th year of teaching and still holds a strong passion for showing people that the world of yoga can be fun, joyful and light. She loves lame jokes, puppies and wine - get on her good side by bringing (or telling) her any of these! ;) With two busy studios offering classes, courses, workshops and now teacher training she is an industry leader in Brisbane. She comes from a background in Nutrition and Dietetics and loves to integrate the latest scientific research and biomechanical modifications into her classes while still keeping the essence of what yoga is all about. She encourages new teachers to find their own voice with compassion and humour. |
Testimonials
The 200hr Stretch Teacher training was an excellent course to learn more about yoga and prepare me in becoming a yoga teacher. I was really impressed with the amount of topics that were covered, from the history of yoga right through to the anatomy and physiology of the human body.
Everything was planned and organised really well and the information was delivered in a way that made it easy to understand. I really enjoyed getting to know the other trainees; this has been a great experience that we have all shared.
All of the teachers were approachable and prepared to answer our many questions. I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of yoga, or anyone interested in becoming a yoga teacher. - Paul S
