Yin Yoga

I'm Kirsty Greene, a dedicated Yin Yoga instructor with 13 years of experience. My passion for spirituality and holistic wellbeing has guided my journey, and I'm thrilled to return to my roots with monthly winter Yin Yoga sessions.

For many years, I have explored the world and my personal interest in spirituality, health, and wellbeing. I have studied a number of somatic modalities, soaking up knowledge and understanding while also learning to heal my body after burnout.

I have been studying and guiding individuals in somatic practices for over 20 years, specializing in Yin Yoga and offering classes, workshops, and retreats in Australia, Argentina, and Spain. It is a real joy to share my love of this practice with individuals looking to slow down and experience moments of tenderness with their bodies and breath.

I completed a 200-hour Yin Yoga training with Jo Phee and Joe Barnett in 2012 and began teaching in Narrm/Melbourne. I have also assisted Jo Phee in her 2014 Australian training and attended Sarah Powers' Yin Yoga Level 1 trainings in Thailand.

My experience with burnout, particularly during my years working on the frontline as a nurse, has deeply informed my approach to Yin Yoga. The practice has taught me the importance of slowing down, greeting the body, and inviting the nervous system into a state of rest to heal and maintain vitality.

In addition to my Yin Yoga practice, I am employed as an Art Therapist in a Mental Health and Addiction facility in Narrm/Melbourne, Australia, where I facilitate group and individual sessions exploring themes of wellbeing, spirituality, and identity. My approach is rooted in authenticity, cultural responsiveness, and a commitment to fostering genuine connections.

Yin Yoga is a somatic practice that encourages feeling your way in and out of poses, noting how the movement feels for you inside rather than focusing on the aesthetic look on the outside. I guide sessions that invite individuals to explore their bodies using soft and gentle movement, long holds, and rebounds, combined with breathwork.

Previously, my classes attracted a rich and vibrant community of participants, drawn to the special atmosphere and transformative power of the practice. Join me this winter at Greene Moon Studios for a journey of tenderness and self-discovery through the timeless practice of Yin Yoga.

TESTIMONIALS

Kirsty brings a centred and calming energy to her Yin classes. Through her impeccably timed monologue she intuitively plays with inertia. She skillfully guides your breathing, building cadence as she coaxes your body to yield and then blissfully rebound. A subtle intermediary between your breath, body and mind she takes you on an internal journey creating stillness and space. Egoless in her guidance, Kirsty has a piercing and transforming honesty that helps soften your body. Her classes are an immersive experience. At the end you slide uncluttered and loose into the slipstream of life.

There’s more to breath than just breathing: “Our first Yin class with Kirsty highlighted her knowledge and total passion for Yoga. It left us with a very strong desire and sound base to start our personal journey into practicing yoga. After the first class we came away feeling as though a door in our lives had been opened, and it seemed it was therefor us to be welcomed into a new way of learning about ourselves, our bodies and our thinking. Kirsty is a warm, compassionate and inspiring person and teacher. She takes time and trouble to gently guide and mentor, always encouraging you to explore and learn through practice. Her classes build confidence and challenge your personal boundaries, but always within your limits. Her soothing calm guidance stimulates one to explore and discover things we never knew about ourselves. If you have never considered trying yoga, please think again and one class will be sufficient to make you reimagine yourself and your potential.”

Kirsty is a gifted yoga teacher. Her classes are so well balanced, leading through a flow that builds gracefully to challenges which feel empowering and energising, and always ending with an amazing long savasana. I leave her classes feeling balanced and at peace, whether it was a Yin class or a dynamic Yang. One of my very favourite yoga teachers worldwide - highly recommended!

As a birthday surprise from my boyfriend a private yoga class with Kirsty was arranged. There was no better way to start this special day. Kirsty is highly professional and a kind teacher. Her class was a perfect mix of relaxed flowing and deep stretching. We enjoyed the the calm space she created and the clear, concentrated instructions at the same time. Kirsty is a beautiful person, you can tell that she not only loves to teach yoga but she also lives it! We enjoyed her teaching so much that we scheduled for another class a week later! Thank u very much Kirsty, we still listen to ur playlist!
