Liila Hass
Liila has been teaching yoga and meditation for more than 35 years. Trained in India and the Americas, Liila brings a wealth of experience to her work, having delivered workshops, retreats and classes online, as well as in several corners of the world.

Rob Blakers
Rob has been practicing yoga and meditation since the early 1980s. He trained with yogic monks in the 1980s and has taught yoga and meditation in Hobart on and off since that time. Through his work as a landscape and wildlife photographer, he has found that meditation can enhance our connection with the natural world and sharpen our purpose for its protection. Conversely, being in wild nature is a sublime foundation for spiritual practice. Rob is the owner of Wild Island Gallery in Salamanca and a dedicated advocate for wild places.
Kaelasha Tyler
Kaelasha spent a number of years as a junior monk, practicing and teaching Tantra Yoga with Ananda Marga. He then completed a PhD in Neuroscience, researching consciousness and unconscious processes, motivated by a fascination with the intersecting insights of cognitive neuroscience and the contemplative traditions. He continues to be excited by the exploration of the spiritual basis for self and society.
