Meet Our Team

We are a community of bold, open-hearted humans devoted to living fully and intentionally.

  • Rani Shah is an internationally experienced yoga and movement educator whose teaching is inspired by a lifelong fascination with the intelligence of the human body and its remarkable capacity for growth, adaptation and transformation.

    With more than 15 years of teaching experience, Rani has guided students throughout Australia and South East Asia. She holds over 900 hours of registered yoga teacher training across Vinyasa, Hatha and Wild Lotus Yoga, complemented by specialised studies in Zenthai Shiatsu Massage, Embodied Movement, Animal Flow, calisthenics, functional strength training, and a lifelong devotion to dance, including Salsa, Bachata and Belly Dance.

    Her diverse background has shaped a unique approach to movement that bridges strength and softness, structure and spontaneity. Rather than viewing yoga as a collection of poses, Rani teaches it as a practice of cultivating vitality - one that honours the body's natural capacity to move in spirals, curves, rotations and organic patterns as much as in stillness and alignment.

    At the heart of her teaching is the understanding that movement extends beyond the physical body. As we develop strength, mobility and awareness, we also influence the fascial, emotional and energetic systems that exist in constant relationship with one another. A truly intelligent movement practice nurtures every layer of our being.

    Rani believes that lasting transformation comes not from chasing complexity, but from practising the fundamentals with care, curiosity and consistency. She invites students to meet each movement with both alertness and surrender - to build resilience without rigidity, embrace challenge without force, and cultivate strength that is balanced by grace.

    Above all, Rani teaches with a simple intention: to help others cultivate a steady state of Full Aliveness - a practice that supports not only how we move, but how we live.

  • Nicole approaches Yoga as a path of devotion, a subtle and intimate practice of continually remembering and returning to the Self.

    Her journey began in 2021 during a Vipassana meditation retreat. Facing a knee injury that made the ten hours of daily sitting nearly unbearable, she reached a point where she almost abandoned the practice. On that day, during a quiet walk, a moment of insight arose that redirected her path and awakened a deep commitment to Yoga. That moment became the beginning of her journey.

    Nicole is trained in Vinyasa Yoga, Tantra Meditation, and Yin Yoga, and her classes weave together these different lineages and styles. Through a blend of movement, meditation, and stillness, she offers a space for students to reconnect with presence, awareness, and the body’s deeper intelligence.

  • Bibiana has been dancing for as long as she can remember. Her journey began as a little girl performing traditional Colombian folkloric dance, where she first discovered the joy of moving to music and sharing that energy with others. From those early performances, Bibiana went on to perform for large audiences as a solo artist as well as part of professional dance groups, and later as the artistic director of her own dance company.

    Her training has taken her across South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, shaping a unique style that blends global influences with a modern, expressive approach to movement. At the heart of Bibiana’s professional training is Belly Dance, a form she has studied and performed for more than 20 years. This deep experience brings both technical skill and soulful expression into everything she teaches.

    Bibiana’s classes are known for their joyful, high-energy atmosphere. Drawing on the sensuality of belly dance and the fiery flair of Latin styles, she creates a space where students can reconnect with their bodies through music, rhythm, and movement. Her teaching focuses not just on choreography, but on feeling the beat, building confidence, and allowing movement to come from the inside out.

     

    Through guided sequences and moments of freestyle, Bibiana helps students develop body awareness, cardiovascular endurance, and a sense of flow, all while having fun. Her warm and uplifting approach makes her classes welcoming for everyone, whether you’re stepping into a dance class for the first time or returning to movement after a break.

     For Bibiana, dance is more than technique, it’s a celebration of rhythm, expression, and the simple joy of moving your body.

Testimonials

  • Working under Rani’s guidance my yoga practice improved, evolved and strengthened substantially. I began to understand the synergy working between my body and yoga. Her knowledge, patience, humour and compassion has given my yoga journey the best foundation I could ask for.

    Michelle

  • Beyond her beautiful asana flows, I appreciate that Rani lives and breathes the yogic principles -- that is, practices what she preaches! That kind of sincerity from a teacher makes it easier to embrace those teachings myself. I always left her classes feeling strong, uplifted, and inspired

    Maggie

  • I cannot know what Rani saw when I first walked into her class, but I do know how she made me feel. Rani made me feel like I was someone with possibilities, not a middle-aged woman who needed to maintain what she had, but someone with potential, someone who could fly - and now I can!

    Deana

  • I haven't truly been doing yoga for the past 2-3 years, I was simply moving into poses that resembled yoga asanas. I feel like I have only now started learning about yoga after attending Rani's classes and workshops

    Kam

  • Rani has changed my relationship with yoga in a way that no one else has. She’s an incredibly connected, wise and present teacher. She has helped to enhance my awareness of small adjustments that have had a huge impact on my postures.

    Bonnie

  • Rani has a way of allowing you to push past your mental barriers to strengthen your body and move safely through a strong practice. Her articulate descriptions of what your body needs to do in the poses allow you to go deep into your practice without thinking. She has a wisdom older than her years. I love her encouragement of free flowing movement that isn't always structured.

    Dee

  • I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, across three continents, and Rani's quality instructions, innovative flows and insightful teachings are superb and honestly rare. She is a very well rounded yoga teacher with innate qualities that override her youth. I really love practicing yoga with Rani, and importantly, I always finish her classes with a smile on my face, a sense of gratitude and much juiciness in my joints.
