History

Yoga First (Gitajaia Yoga) was born in 1976 at the home of Rev. Jahne Hope-Williams.

Jahne had studied with Margaret Segesman the Founder of Gita Yoga in Australia and then with Joy Spencer a major force in Shivananda Yoga at that time. Out of these meetings and subsequent study, came Gitajaia (to recognise and honour the lineage) and of course Australian Power Yoga, our very own style.

The school grew and began to move forward out of the Ranges with Studios around Melbourne and then travelling Seminars around the world. When we began to grow our Teacher Training, Certification and Recognition arms of the School, we originated the Institute which went on to welcome Distance Education students from around the world.

This year for the first time we are expanding to include Distance Ed. training from established and Affiliated Centres wherever needed. The first of these will be in South Australia, New Zealand, and then Perth (Australia). We welcome any Centres who feel they have the population and student community to support such growth to contact us. We would love you to join hands with us. The entry is pretty tough, but worth it.

'YOGA FIRST' IS EXPANDING....

We are looking, and advertising, for teachers, ex-teachers who want to get back into the work force and people who have taught but need to be Registered and/or Insured before they can get back in - we can help you.

Not only can we bring your qualifications up to standard, we can also give you work. WE NEED YOU! We have work all over the place. The more teachers that put their hands up, the more places we can fill.
