Daniel

Daniel Aaron has dedicated his life to the art of vibrant living and guiding others to experience their maximum delight through yoga, writing, nutrition, counseling, astrology, humor, and anything helpful to unlock our potential. For more about Daniel, please visit www.danielaaron.com.

Cameron
Vinyasa Style Yoga
Cameron entered the world of yoga 15 years ago after many years of playing top level rugby representing W.A on numerous occasions. Back troubles and other injuries brought him to yoga, and offered him the opportunity for self repair, and holistic healing of the body and spirit without modern drugs or doctors. The impressive results and consistent practice with his teacher remained an important part of his life over the next ten years, despite busy work with his art business. His “Real Journey” began four years ago after selling the business to pursue his passions of yoga and traveling, and the journey has introduced him to many yogic styles, cultures, and study with teachers worldwide, including Lance Schuler, John Oglivie and Patrick Oancia. Cameron has taught Vinyasa in Perth, W.A. for three years and completed his Level 1 Vibrant Living Yoga Teacher Training with Daniel Aaron, by far his “Highlight of 2006”. He returns to assist for the 2007 Program. “I’m very excited to be living the life & seeing the benefits of My practice, the amazing people who I Meet on the Way, it just wets My appetite for more learning & sharing as a Teacher & as a Student of Life”

Regi
Astanga
Born in India Regi has been studying yoga for over 15 years, and has been teaching and sharing the experience of yoga for 10 years. He has studied extensively in Mysore and Rishikesh in India, and Byron Bay, Australia, and completed his Teacher Training Qualifications in Perth and the Gold Coast. Through his teaching, he wishes to convey the joy within the practice of yoga. From the challenging practice of Ashtanga, with emphasis on breath and the inward journey, new doors open. Regi currently runs Yoga Om, his yoga school in North Perth W.A.

Amber
Iyengar Style
Amber’s love affair with the meditation of movement began at the tender age of 2. For 14 years she pursued a passion for dancing with formal training in classical and jazz ballet for a decade, then adding ballroom, Latin and flamenco to her dance arts repertoire before meandering along the path towards the study of martial arts. In 1997 Amber earned her black belt in the Korean art of Tea Kwon Do and travelled extensively throughout Australia as a champion tournament competitor. Her intrigue around the movement principles, energy concepts and philosophy of the Chinese system stole her into the practices of Kung Fu, Ti Chi and Chi Kung where she trained full time under the guidance of her seniors for a further three years. It wasn’t until a break in her rigorous training, work and study regime that she glimpsed the full body of yoga – a silent friend that had travelled beside her since the early days from whence her journey began.

Amber is a qualified Iyengar teacher, with her classes echoing the experiential gifts of her journey thus far. Her practice has since taken her to the highest peaks of the Himalayas and accompanied her on many 10-day Vipassana meditation retreats. When not indulging in her passion of celebrating the joy inherent of yoga, Amber instructs Pilates and works as a remedial massage therapist throughout Perth, Australia.


 
About Vibrant Living Yoga
We reach Yoga's aim when we accept ourselves fully. Vibrant Living Yoga brings us toward that while expanding our potential through challenging asana (posture), vinyasa (breath and movement), spiritual insight, pranayama (breath exercise), meditation, music, and humor. Drawing on Daniel's extensive yoga practice and training in many styles - including jivamukti, astanga, and iyengar - creativity and spontaneity, we create classes that are eclectic, fun, inspiring and uplifting. The retreat setting allows for plenty of individual guidance, in morning and afternoon yoga sessions.
