Our Amazing Tribe

My name is Tina Summers & I have been a Yoga practitioner since 2002 & a teacher since 2008. I am very humbled & honoured to have found this thousands of year-old practice & I continue to learn more over the years as I feel this is my calling to share with others. 

I was a late starter to Yoga at 29, due to numerous accumulative health issues from my previous years. Unlike other Yogis I was not born into it; I wouldn’t even call myself a natural at the physical postures. But from my first class I knew this was the key to unlock my destiny & to help not only save myself, but to solve the ever-longing question as to why I was here & why I was given “this life”. 

Someone told me once – “When the student is ready the teacher will find you”. And I believe this to this very day. When you have the willingness to dedicate yourself to giving a little time each day for yourself, the lessons & guidance will be there. Taking that little time each day to move loving energy & information through your body, will set you up with the tools & energy to help share that with others. As to what else is there in life to help yourself & others enjoy this time we have?! 

My teachers have been varied over the years beginning with my first beautiful teacher Ben Sofowora who was my inspiration to become a teacher. Though I had a long journey ahead he planted the seed. I’ve had many teachers including the incredible Nicky Knoff, George Neo, Peter Ujvari of Shadow Yoga, Clive Sheridan, Mark Whitwell, Tracy Gray, Kaya Slater, Edwina Kempe, Tamara James & my current beautiful teachers Bianca Machliss & Simon Borg-Olivier of Yoga Synergy. I have also had some training from Master Yang of Calligraphy Health which is the Chinese Yoga style of Qi Gong. 

In the past 10 years I have begun chanting of sacred transcendental mantras & learning to play the harmonium, delving into Nada Yoga – the Yoga of Sound. I have also begun my Sound Healing practice with crystal sound bowls & various other instruments to help people retune their bodies for ultimate health & relaxation. 

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.

Kate’s yoga journey started in 2013. Suffering for many years with depression, anger and anxiety, the birth of her second child and the pre and post natal depression that accompanied the pregnancy, sent her searching for ways to not be a slave to her mind.During that first class, her whole life made sense. A light, a knowing, a purpose lit up in her and she has been practising and studying yoga and healing modalities since. She knew 100% in her heart that this was her path, and that she would one day share her studies and experiences with others.Her classes will take you on a deep inward journey and have said to be like a moving meditation. She creates a safe, nurturing and fun space for people to be less in the external world, and more in their internal world. People often leave her classes, feeling deeply connected, peaceful and grounded within themselves. Kate’s transparency and authenticity creates a space people feel safe to accept all of themselves, exactly as they are. A space for them to just be. Kate has immersed herself into studying and embodying various Yoga Lineages and Healing modalities.
