Founder / Principal Teacher / Author of NRG Training Programs / Level 3 Yoga Teacher/Trainer & Certified Clinical Trauma Health Professional / RN
“My passion & purpose is to help reduce mind made suffering. Yoga from my very first class had a profound way of helping me feel better in more ways than one, to the point I vowed to share it with others. It not only helped my back pain (from nursing) it shifted my perspective on love, loss and letting go. I am passionate about Mentoring others to Teach Yoga in their own unique way – to overcome how they think they “should” be and instead feel free.
Although I respect tradition and have studied and practice many styles of Yoga (Iyengar, Power Vinyasa, Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga, Long Slow Deep Yoga , Anusara Yoga & through in a bit of Dance Inspired Yoga too) The common thread between them all is Mindfulness and using them all as a doorway to feel more free. Not just in the body but in the mind”
Tammy Williams in an International Teacher Trainer, she has been running Yoga Teacher Training, Mindfulness Training, World Class Retreats and Events across Australia for many years. She has been invited to teach YOGA + MINDFULNESS at Yoga Festivals, World Famous Music & Arts Festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival & Fitness + Personal Development Conferences for companies such as GE Finance and the QLD Police Service and is invited by yoga studio owners to mentor and deliver training.
Tammy has been in the health industry since 1994 and has taught well over 19,000 hours of yoga classes & training. Life experience and her professional career in many fields of nursing, health promotion, disease prevention has given her an understanding of the mind and how it effects all health, healing and relationship. This supports a unique and inspirational dialogue in her teaching that is open, honest and real. Although she spends most of her time mentoring or seeing clients one on one in person or online, she still continues to teach her much loved Moffat Beach Class where it all began many years ago.
What I love most : seeing the look on someones face when they realise “yes I can actually do it” what ever ‘it’ is.
I love watching the sun rise, sitting silently with my cup of tea , reading and writing poetry and cuddling my dog.
I love surfing and all that it teaches me about life and what it means to be part of something bigger”
My life long goal – learn how to keep it simple!

Nic
HI I’m Nic
Yoga to me is the art of listening so we can tune into our own hearts.
Tuning out our projections and expectations and instead letting our sensations guide us.
How I teach is with an emphasis on knowing when we need to rest and when we need to shift into gear and be disciplined. Yoga is about becoming aware of the motivation behind our choices. Noticing what comes up for us along the way and cultivating acceptance.
“Nics classes are relaxed , quirky, fun and kind hearted with great head massages – oh and plenty of “Nic-isms”
Nic completed her Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga NRG and is currently working toward her Level 2 Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga NRG.

Barry
Hi ! I’m Barry
I started yoga about 30 years ago to alleviate neck and back pain and was drawn to it for its capacity to improve all aspects of life.
On any give day, whether countering a sedentary lifestyle and daily stress, or complement strength and endurance training, I find freedom and stability in yoga.
My classes start with body awareness and moving meditation, offering grounded support to feel present to what students need. He offers accessible options and fun challenges, which sometimes means taking it easy, with plenty of room to switch to high gear.
My style is generally gentle Hatha yoga for strength and balance.
Barry has attained level 2, 500 hour certification, with training in mindfulness, core yoga, long slow deep, and more.
“Stability without freedom is being in a rut. Freedom without stability is aimless. Finding the balance is the point of practicing yoga”
Come along and let’s enjoy the practice together
Barry
“Barrys classes are calming, entertaining when we ask for him to share his many accents from his ‘stage career’ and always allows peace and quiet”
Lee
Yoga calms my busy mind and helps to make me feel, peaceful and relaxed.
Why I teach Yoga: I like connecting with people, and want to share what I feel(how yoga makes me fee), I want to make a difference to their life and help people to feel good.
What my class is like: My class is always different, Its Power Vinyasa flow, with some core, and always some humour thrown into the mix (to make everyone laugh or smile). We always end with meditation (the best part).
A mantra that I have adopted inspired by Nelson Mandela :
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe”
Training: NRG Yoga teacher training certificate – level 1, Certificate iii and iv in Fitness, and various other Fitness Certificates, including Pilates.

Jodie
Hi ! I’m Jodie
I started a regular yoga practice in 2018, whilst going through a difficult time in my personal life. Working with the breath and the poses was able to bring me out of my mind and into my body, giving me something else to focus on, rather than the mess of my mind! I am so grateful that I had the support of yoga and my teachers to help me through.
Since then my passion for yoga has only grown. Delving into the mindfulness aspects has been a powerful tool to learn to minimise the automatic negative thoughts of my mind. I feel I have developed greater patience and am certainly kinder to myself.
I am so excited to be teaching yoga! My hope is that I can empower others to feel good about themselves, just as I have learnt to. I wish to guide fellow yogis to value themselves, and to know that they are worthy of love, respect and belonging.
One of My favourite quotes:
“How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.” – Rupi Kaur
“Jodies classes are sincere, gentle, and caring. Jodie is super present and attentive to the needs of her students and also allows them space to be as they are”

Tara
Hi ! I’m Tara
I take a holistic approach to healthcare, combining principles from my background as a Naturopath for 20 years, with Yoga & Mindfulness, bringing it all together as a ‘way of life’. My philosophy to health is that “the mind is the foundation and if we do not take the time to nourish the mind, all other treatment modalities really are just a band-aid”.I believe that cultivating a healthy mind and body should be fun!
“Yoga for me is so much more than just the poses, it allows me to find a place where I can just be myself and listen to my own internal wisdom. It feels like coming home!
During my classes I like to provide people with plenty of space to connect to their own internal knowing, moving with people so they can find what they need for themselves.
Empowering ourselves to listen to our own internal whispers of what our body and mind needs, and most importantly have fun while we’re doing it!”
“Tara’s classes are peaceful as she allows a lot of space for you to go inward”
Tara completed her Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga NRG along with her Mindfulness Level 1 and Level 2 Mindfulness Teacher Training Certification. Tara is currently working toward her Level 2 / 500hr Teacher Training Certification and has already completed Long Slow Deep Yoga Teacher Training & is in our Mindful Mentorship Program

Sheree
Hi ! I’m Sheree
A dancer since young, I was initially drawn to yoga to improve my endurance and flexibility, but I soon realised yoga wasn’t just about the physical. The clarity and deep connection I experienced after each class was profound. Yoga has become a constant in my life and has helped me with many personal and professional transitions because of what I have learnt about myself while on the mat. Yoga can be your place where the problems of existence are simplified. Join me and fall in love with the space yoga gives you, in your body and your mind.
“Sheree’s classes are light hearted, sincere and can range between spacious Yin and Long Slow Deep yoga to Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga Classes – oh and Core Yoga!
Sheree completed her Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga NRG and has also completed Long Slow Deep Yoga , Yin Yoga Teacher Training , Mindfulness Level 1 Teacher Training and Mindfulness Based Core Yoga Teacher Training
Catch Sheree teaching at Moffat Beach , the Yoga NRG Studio & New Zealand !!
Lucy
I love yoga because it’s the greatest tool that I have found that brings me entirely into the present moment, all while bringing mindful movement to my body. The mindfulness aspect of yoga has helped me understand myself which in turn has improved my perspective and relationships.
I love teaching because it inspires me to bring a sense of togetherness within the community and hopefully I can help others on their yoga journey.
My favourite yoga quotes are:
‘When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another and ourselves’
‘Vulnerability is our most accurate measure of courage’
Keira
Keira completed her Level 1 Yoga NRG Teacher Training in 2022 and has also competed her Degree in Psychology.

Brendan
I first became interested in yoga at the age of 15. At the time I was diagnosed with Scheuermann’s disease and was generally suffering from what I like to call tin man syndrome. This was before the internet so when I attended my first yoga class I really had no idea what I was in for. Following sound advise from a family friend that attending yoga classes would beneficial for me, I thought I had nothing to loose.
Long story short, after 6 weeks I was amazed with how the classes had not only helped improve my physical condition but how it had also greatly helped many other aspects of my life. There are too many reasons to list as to why I still practice yoga to this day, but essentially its the feeling of connection that yoga gives you on all levels. This is also the reason I love to teach, it’s a privilege to be able facilitate this connection within others. With firm roots in Ashtanga and teacher training in power yoga and meditation you can expect these elements to shine through during my classes.
Brendan completed Yoga NRG Level 1 Teacher Training in 2018-19.
(If you are lucky enough to experience Brendans class make sure you request some added Yoga Nidra. Brendan teaches Yoga in the Noosa Sunshine Beach area of the Sunshine Coast he has also given Yoga “Toolbox Talks” and inspired those in the mining industry in these areas .
