It didn’t take long for Lucy to realise there was something special about yoga. Her first class in her early 20s felt unlike anything she’d experienced—within days, she noticed the impact on her sleep, her mood, and her overall sense of calm.

After over a decade of being a student, she took the leap into teaching. Since then, Lucy has taught at some of Melbourne’s most loved studios, assisted on YTTs and Yin Yoga trainings, and run her own workshops and retreats.

She was mentored in Yin by Jody Vassallo, and in 2023, began creating her own retreat offerings—spaces designed for nervous system reset, reflection, and true connection.

Lucy’s approach to yoga is light-hearted, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience. Her classes centre on storytelling and energetics, with space to pause, reflect and truly feel.

For Lucy, yoga isn’t just about movement—it’s about coming home to yourself. It’s about sitting with discomfort, regulating your nervous system, and building a practice that supports life off the mat, long after the class or retreat ends.

Not to perfect the pose, but to be with what’s real.

Yin Yoga in has brought something to my life that nothing else has: a softening, a reverence for the seasons, and permission to embrace both light and shadow.⁠ It brings such beautiful balance to our busy western lives and is something i’m super excited to share.

Rebecca teaches in a way that is accessible, practical and embodied, helping students to feel how the meridians flow in real time, how your organs speak through Taoism and poetry, and how accompanying Yin postures encourage circulation, nourishment and emotional regulation.
