Anvaya Yoga would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land upon which we live and work, and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging.
Kimberly is the founder of Anvaya Yoga and she is accredited to teach several yoga, pranayama, and meditation styles. Her yoga classes range from dynamic to slow and gentle practices.
Kim teaches group classes and private classes that are suitable for all levels of experience, but her focus tends to be on beginner and intermediate practice. She is also trained in yoga for Trauma, Mental Health, and Body Image and works one-on-one with clients on somatic release. Kim aims to provide a safe, pleasurable, compassionate, and appropriate experience for each student.
Her teaching is based on honouring each student’s unique physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual attributes and aspirations, and she welcomes curiosity, questions, and engagement in class. Kimberly encourages students to modify postures to suit their own needs while understanding that, for some people, it can take time to develop the confidence to do so.
At Anvaya Yoga you will always be supported to work at your own pace. When you meet Kimberly, you will know you are in the right hands.
Optimising your character strengths is one of the most effective ways of increasing happiness.
Kim has 10 year’s experience helping people to identify and harness their energy and strengths to achieve their aspirations. An accredited Positive Psychology and Wellbeing practitioner, she uses valid, recognised Positive Psychology tools and techniques. Kimberly does not subscribe to “happyology” as genuine Positive Psychology recognises that the full range of human emotions are essential for people to flourish. Kim is fascinated by how contemporary research in fields such as Positive Psychology supports many of the tenets and practices of traditional yoga.
As a life-long learner, Kimberly continues her own growth and development. She firmly believes the adage that ‘the more you know, the more you know you don’t know.’
In Sanskrit “Anvaya” means connection. Whether it is physiological connections, mind-body-breath connections, psycho-emotional connections, or relationships - with ourself, each other, the wider community, nature, or subtle concepts like the “Absolute” as described in yogic philosophy, “Connection” is at the heart of Anvaya Yoga.
“Anvaya” is pronounced: “Anne” “vay” “ah”
