Hiiiii, my name is Abby and I’m the founder of East Hall Yoga and co-owner of East Hall. I have what is sometimes described as a Loud Brain. I spent many years seeking instant gratification from wherever I could get it, and it wasn’t until about 10 years ago when I started yoga that I discovered you could stop the loud thoughts before they even arrive.

Slowly over the past decade, I believe yoga has made me a better, more caring, and less impulsive person. I started East Hall Yoga because I wanted a dedicated yoga space that worked around my schedule (with my 4-year old daughter).

Being a teacher allows me to share my love for yoga while deepening my own practice. I have a lot to learn, but I’m so grateful to have the chance and freedom to dedicate this part of myself to yoga. You’ll see me on the mat all day Mondays and Thursday afternoons.

Hi, I’m Aarushi! My teaching journey began seven years ago when I conducted leadership and sustainability workshops for school students. That’s when I first discovered the deep joy of guiding others through growth and transformation.

Having grown up in India, I was surrounded by the rhythms of yoga, ayurveda, and meditation from an early age. But it wasn’t until I moved to Australia three years ago that these practices became my personal anchor. Yoga helped me find balance in a new environment by strengthening both body and mind. 

Today, I feel grateful to share these powerful tools with you! Whether you're brand new to yoga or looking to go deeper in your practice, I’m here to hold space, encourage mindful movement, and offer guidance rooted in tradition and care.

I discovered yoga during my first pregnancy, after always being physically fit and active, I felt the need to slow down and enjoy this process. Yoga came to me by way of a book, learning and practicing at home and on the beach. This practice grew as I journeyed through 2 more pregnancies resulting in 3 beautiful children.

Many years were spent learning what Yoga meant to me, both on and off my mat. It was during these years that I discovered the power of stillness and mindfulness. The ability to stop, walk away from it all for a short time and treat myself to clarity. It was difficult to begin - always thinking "I should be doing this......" - now - it's easy. Now I am aware that "this" will wait.

At this point I knew that it was my calling to share this with those who were willing to give in to the process of learning to sit or flow in the moment, remove ego, expectations, and just be here....  in each passing moment.
