Annette Field

Annette Field  facilitates an experience of a holistic practice of yoga that integrates asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation/relaxation. She gently guides participants through yoga practices using invitational language that encourages them to connect with their body, breath and mind, and to deepen their own experience rather than compare themselves to others.

For Annette, yoga is a journey, and she draws on the many benefits yoga offers. As a social worker, anthropologist and aid worker, Annette has empowered people from diverse walks of life, and now through yoga she assists people to build on their strengths to face life's challenges. Drawing on her experience, Annette pays close attention to each individual's particular needs. 

Annette has a Diploma of Yoga Studies (SYA), which included a four months Yogic Studies Course at Bihar Yoga Bharati, Munger, India. She has also completed the Yoga Anatomy: Principles course with Leslie Kaminoff, undertaken Yoga for Mood Management: LifeForce Yoga Practitioner Training (Module A and Module B) with Amy Weintraub,  a course on Mindful Yin Yoga with Jennifer Raye, a 'Yoga as Medicine' Workshop with Dr Timothy McCall and done training on trauma sensitive yoga with Bessel van der Kolk MD and Trauma Sensitive Yoga Australia. Annette holds a PhD in anthropology having researched suffering and rituals for healing in Timor-Leste (East Timor) where she lived and worked for seven years. Annette also has a Bachelor of Social Work and A Bachelor of Arts (psychology and anthropology, with an honours year in anthropology).
