Patty Perlman is a senior teacher + the lead teacher for all Mana Yoga trainings. Patty is RYS 500 + ERYT 500. Patty has been practicing yoga for 20 years and teaching for 14. She is the founder of Mana Yoga Retreats, leads over 110 retreat guests per year, creates corporate programs and works exclusively with yoga teacher trainees. Her love for yoga and training teachers led her to create a training that is accessible to everyone and accessed from anywhere. Much of her time is spent in the great outdoors, and she believes this plays a big role in helping her create an authentic and down to earth training for the modern yogi.

Heather Kinang's thirst for adventure and travel led her to Southeast Asia, India, and Nepal in her early 20’s, where she delved into the depths of Buddhism and Hinduism. In her classes, she  seamlessly blends challenge with profound wisdom, placing a strong emphasis on physical alignment. Heather is unwavering in her belief in the transformative benefits of regular yoga practice, recognising it as a path to both physical and emotional well-being. With extensive training under esteemed teachers like Noah Maze and Sarah Powers, she established and now leads The Yoga Co-operative. Heather’s vision is to create an inclusive sanctuary where students can forge deep connections with the community, themselves, and the transformative essence of yoga teachings. If you can’t find her in the yoga studio then you will likely find leading a trek in Nepal or teaching internationally. Heather’s classes are: Challenging, Powerful and Informative

Martin Collyer is a long term movement and yoga enthusiast.  His yoga practice spans almost two decades, his diligent practice and exploration of movement and artistry around three decades.  This passion led Marty to study physiotherapy full time at the University of Queensland, which he began in 2019.  He is passionate about effectively using yoga in all its facets to explore what it means to be most deeply, fully and exquisitely in this project of being human.  Moreover, he is deeply engaged in guiding new and established yoga teachers to find the most elegant expression of their work.  

Shae Gready is a proud graduate from Mana Yoga’s first class of teacher trainees - Vinyasa and Yin.
