Your hosts:

  • It didn’t take long before Lucy realised there was something special about yoga after her first class at 23. It was like nothing she had ever experienced, and the effects were instantly positive on her sleep quality and mental well-being.

    After taking the plunge and becoming a teacher after being a student for 10 years, she’s worked at some of the best studios in Melbourne.

    Lucy has assisted in Yin Yoga trainings, retreats, and been mentored in Yin by Jody Vassallo before beginning to run retreats and workshops in the in 2023.

    Lucy’s approach to Yoga is light-hearted and welcoming, hoping to show students that Yoga is truly accessible to everyone.

    Lucy’s classes have a strong element of storytelling and focus on energetics; expect Reiki-infused touch in Flow + Yin classes.

  • Steve Ross has practiced various styles of yoga and meditation for most of his life and has been teaching for over 40 years.  He has explored in great depth the physical aspects of yoga as well as the philosophical and spiritual roots of yoga.

    Ross lived for several years as a monk in the Vedic tradition and has ceaselessly sought out and reveled in the presence of some of the most notable masters of our time, both in India and elsewhere.

    Author of the bestselling yoga book, Happy Yoga, Steve is honored to have the opportunity to share his vast knowledge and practical experience with other spiritual seekers.

    What Steve shares is not merely a moment of focus or concentration; rather, it's a way of shifting awareness to bring the spirit of meditation into daily life.

    With love and joyful abandon, Ross offers us a new way to live in a meditative existence, where tranquility, serenity, and unwavering happiness are found.

    Steve's stories from India, America, and days with Fleetwood Mac are enthralling, and it’s hard not to be happy and curious with his light-hearted, easy manner.
