Shani is a certified yoga instructor and community development practitioner, passionate about the intersection between wellbeing and human rights. She fell in love with yoga after attending a class in Ballarat over a decade ago. Since, she’s explored yoga as a tool to support her own mental health journey, and has tried to connect yoga with her sense of care for the community.

Her classes are aimed at helping students move their bodies in ways that calm the mind, and are taught with compassion and kindness, in the hope that everyone leaves her classes with a deep sense of belonging and stillness.

Cass found her way into yoga in 2012 and immediately fell in love with the practice. Completing her YTT in 2018, she has continued to deepen her knowledge through further training and a dedication to her own personal practice. Her teaching is rooted in progression, strength, and softness. Her classes encourage students to recognise what feels right, when to push, and when to hold back. 

She believes a connection to the body builds a deeper understanding of the mind, helping navigate challenges both off the mat, and knows yoga can is a tool for self-growth that should be accessible to everyone.
