Kobie is a 500Hr, Yoga Alliance certified teacher. She continues to be a student, having only scratched the surface of the teachings that originated more than 5000 years ago.
Kobie enjoys creating strong, wholistic hatha and flow practices. She likes to be creative and design practices around a theme with the intention of facilitating presence of body, breath and mind. So that when svasana ends there is a snippet of that revitalised presence and energy that is taken with you off the mat.
Kobie has practised yoga for over 25 years. Her love of movement began at the age of 6 and she danced 6 days a week throughout her school years. Now older and trying to be somewhat wiser, she has been fortunate to find teachers who guided a yoga practise beyond the physical movement, introducing other aspects; the philosophy, Ayurveda, using yoga as a connection that could provide a glimpse of clarity of mind, a connection to something greater, a connection to your true self. And most importantly, creating a healthy body and space to build a healthy mind.
Kobie has found yoga to have helped immensely in both her role as a wife and Mum of 2 boys and working full time in the corporate world of finance.

I'm Kelsey Hendrickson, psychotherapist / counsellor and yoga therapist. It wasn't always this way. I am a recovering stress head and former corporate marketing professional who wandered into my first yoga class in 2006 desperate to learn how to relax.
After embracing my own practice, I started teaching yoga in 2012, delighted to share the amazing practices I had come to love so dearly. Since then, I trained as a yoga therapist and expanded upon my Bachelor (with hons.) in Psychology by getting my Masters degree in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy and an Advanced Clinical Training in Gestalt Therapy. Now I practice as both a yoga teacher and a psychotherapist / counsellor. I integrate embodiment (awareness of your body) practices and mindfulness into my therapy sessions and psychology into my yoga classes.
My passion is guiding you on your own journey towards a deeper awareness, appreciation and understanding of yourself. My classes include a lot of variations and options along with invitations to notice your breathing, the sensations in your body and how you're showing up on the mat. I encourage people who come to my class to listen to their inner wisdom as well all hold space together and for each other. I look forward to meeting you!
