Jacqui Bohuslav-Andrews

Jacqui, a yoga teacher of 25 years, originally studied hatha yoga at Melbourne's Gita International Yoga School. Led by curiosity and self-inquiry, she completed post-graduate qualifications in Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), traditional Yogic Meditation, Progressive Yoga Relaxation (Yoga Nidra), Pranayama (Breathwork) and Esoteric Philosophy. Today her teaching reflects her combined formal education, her life experience, her love of yoga and the self-discovery that emerges with this practice.

After moving to the historic gold-rush town of Castlemaine, Central Victoria to raise their family, Jacqui taught yoga for 16 years whilst she and her husband raised their three children. Eventually, as their children grew older, the creativity of a big, pulsing city called and the family relocated back to Melbourne. Jacqui now spends her time teaching yoga online - oh the joy of being able to practise yoga when and where it suits you! She visits Castlemaine periodically to share workshops and occasional classes, and also teaches a weekly class in a delightful, old-school hatha yoga studio in Moorabbin, Melbourne.

Jacqui's teaching has evolved beyond the physicality of the practice to include connection and self-transformation. As participants learn to connect more deeply within themselves, this often opens the doorway to personal transformation. Many people report after even several weeks of practice a noticeable increase in energy, clarity of mind, and insight - along with better quality sleep, increased patience, reduced stress, and an abundance of joy.

Exploring yoga as a tool of transformation, Jacqui is eternally curious as to how moving one's body gently and with awareness has the capacity to impact the state of mind and emotions so positively. Learning to focus the mind and regulate the breath has a profound effect on the nervous system, bringing about increased balance and resilience.

Wherever you are located in the world, Jacqui's online yoga classes are for those who appreciate a balanced and accessible approach to yoga, with a focus on breathwork, relaxation practices and meditation. Many people say they'd be happier if their life improved by even 10%. Jacqui believes this - and far more - is possible with the reflective practices of yoga.
