Our Faculty

Lead Trainer 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 24 years and is a E-RYT 1000 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 15 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!

Trainer Nirvana Pilkington

From a young age, movement and bodywork have been a part of Nirvana’s life.  As a youngster, Nirvana was exposed to dance, various sports, drama, yoga and massage.  Their yoga journey continued into adulthood giving relief to the pressures of school teaching life.  Nirvana’s practice and teaching has been immersed in a variety of styles and their classes have become a fusion of these elements (hatha, vinyasa, sakshin ghatashta, anti-gravity aerial yoga, acroyoga and mindfulness based training).  Nirvana's classes largely connect to the flow of movement and breath, anatomical alignment for greater energy flow and intuitively working with the needs of students.  They passionately continue to explore new realms of yoga by regularly immersing themself in workshops and ongoing training.

Trainer Kristy Robinson

Kristy is a 500 hour trained yoga teacher trained in hatha yoga who has been teaching for 7 years. She has taught everywhere from studios, gyms, high schools, corporate classes, community sessions, courses, one on one and yoga teacher trainings. and her aim is to adjust students to better alignment & safely deeper into postures, and encouraging & inspiring others on their journey to improve overall wellness & health. What she enjoys most of all however is to provide a space where students can just be themselves and have a little fun. 

Kristy danced for over 18 years, and initially turned to yoga as a way to get back into exercise after an injury, but quickly discovered that the practice of yoga was so much more than being bendy. She travelled to India where she completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training with Dr. Gaurav Malik at the Ashtak yoga school, and then again in late 2017 travelled back to complete an additional 300hrs. She has taught in Thailand, London and Australia.

Kristy has a passion for helping people to live a more conscious & sustainable lifestyle and loves to travel.

Testimonials

I consider myself very lucky for having chosen to take my Yoga Teacher Training at Stretch.

Even though I was quite eager to get into teaching, I wasn't just after a certificate that would allow me to deliver yoga classes. I was also looking forward to the self discovery and learning process that would come from my yoga teacher training experience.

And I can totally say that the Stretch Yoga Teacher Training program met and exceeded my expectations not only in that sense, but also in the sense of preparing me with the technical skills needed in order to be a teacher who can lead a meaningful and anatomically safe practice.

The course content is very thorough and interesting. I got to learn so much, but at the same time had a lot of fun whilst attending the classes and going through my workbooks at home.

I also found it amazing how we got to have an experienced movement professional to deliver the anatomy module. When talking to other friends who have recently took their teacher training elsewhere, they all agree that they felt let down when it comes to anatomy and biomechanics.

Thank you so much for this incredible experience and for setting me on the right path in my yoga learning and teaching journey. - Karina A
