About Christine du Fresne
I am passionate about the non-dual view of yoga and it’s associated practices.
I began a regular Iyengar yoga practice during my last year of art school in Sydney in 1986, and within three years had completed the teacher training requirements for Iyengar certification.
Making a decision to teach art and then travel for a while, I taught yoga in various studios and in high schools, and to whomever was interested on my global travels.
In 1999, on my return from a profoundly transformative film making expedition to Central Asia, I met my second influential teacher, and commenced a 4-year Anusara Yoga® apprenticeship with him, later becoming certified.
Teaching regularly and still travelling occasionally to soak up the knowledge of Tantra and hatha yoga from global teachers, I expanded my understanding of postural alignment and anatomy into therapeutic applications of yoga.
In 2005 I started my own yoga studio in Sydney, teaching immersions and workshops as well as regular classes.
I also found the time to build a straw bale house in the hills behind Bulahdelah, on the Mid North Coast of NSW, with my daughter, where I have lived happily since 2013.
Regardless of my 35 years of teaching yoga, I am still a student myself, always grateful to my teacher, Carlos Pomeda, whose wise, generous and compassionate teaching of yoga philosophy has illuminated my own teaching, stimulated my appetite for home study and practice, and given me the tools and direction to impart the wisdom of yoga to others
