Yoga as unique as you are
Yoga classes in Kingston and Kettering, Tasmania
No two bodies are the same.
So no two yoga poses will look the same, either.
There’s no such thing as being “good” (or bad) at yoga.
Only showing up—and moving in a way that feels right for you.
Hi, I'm Danielle: the face behind Santosha Yoga Australia.
I’m here to help you find ease in your body and mind.
When yoga is guided in a way that suits your shape, size, proportions and movement - something powerful happens.
You begin to feel freedom.
You start to soften.
You create space to notice what’s going on within.
And that? That’s where the real magic happens.

About Danielle
I understand what it feels like to be in a body that doesn't find yoga poses easy. But after 20+ years of practicing and 10 years of teaching, I have found contentment in my body.
I first started practising yoga in 2002. I found that stepping onto my mat allowed me to calm down and find stillness in my mind – if only for brief moments! Over the years as my practice became more regular, I noticed the additional strength, flexibility, energy and overall vitality that yoga provided.
After 10+ years of practice, I completed my initial 200 hour teaching qualification with Power Living Australia Yoga, under the guidance of Duncan Peak. At that time, I had a very strong Power Flow practice, which was highly suited to my Type A personality. However, two weeks after graduating from teacher training, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which tilted my world on a pretty steep axis.
This experience transformed my outlook and approach to life. It taught me the importance of reducing stress, of finding balance, and of caring and nourishing myself on a physical, mental and emotional level. Most importantly, it led me to believe that regardless of what life throws at you, happiness and inner peace can be found by practising contentment, gratitude and acceptance.
Having fully recovered, I've gone on to learn from many great local and international teachers including Sarah Powers, Simon Park, Leslie Kaminoff, Maty Ezraty, Donna Farhi and Lizzie Lasater.
But it was training with Paul and Suzee Grilley that firmly cemented my approach to yoga: functional, rather than aesthetic. In other words, the focus is on what the pose is doing for you, and how it feels, rather than what it looks like. Their training on skeletal variation gave me the theoretical understanding of what I was experiencing in my own body and seeing in many of my students.
I aim for my classes to be authentic, open and personal. I will help guide you to quieten the mind, tune in to the inner world, and bring the body, breath and mind into greater harmony.
Santosha (pronounced san-toe-sha) is the Sanskrit word for contentment. It is my belief that the practice of contentment, gratitude and acceptance are the keys to finding happiness from within.
