Jacqui Bohuslav-Andrews
Jacqui, a yoga teacher of 25 years, originally studied hatha yoga at Melbourne’s Gita International Yoga School. Led by curiosity and self-inquiry, she completed post-graduate qualifications in Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), traditional Yogic Meditation, Progressive Yoga Relaxation (Yoga Nidra), Pranayama (Breathwork) and Esoteric Philosophy.
Today her teaching reflects her combined formal education, her life experience, her love of yoga and the self-discovery that emerges with this practice.
After moving to the historic gold-rush town of Castlemaine, Central Victoria to raise their family, Jacqui taught yoga for 16 years, whilst her and her husband raised their three children.
The artistic and eco-conscious community of Castlemaine was a delightful place to live and work, sharing yoga, meditation and other transformational practices.
Eventually, as their children grew older, University and the creativity of a big, pulsing city called and the family relocated back to Melbourne.
Jacqui now spends her time teaching yoga online (oh the joy of being able practice yoga when and where it suits you!). She visits Castlemaine periodically to share workshops and occasional classes and to maintain connections to students she has known for many years (or in some instances, even decades!). She also teaches a weekly yoga class in a delightful, old-school hatha yoga studio in Moorabbin, Melbourne.
Having worked as a professional in the corporate health industry for many years, Jacqui also delivers wellbeing seminars and mindfulness sessions to large corporate organisations.
Jacqui’s teaching has evolved beyond the physicality of the practice to include connection and self-transformation. As participants learn to connect more deeply within themselves, this often opens the doorway to personal transformation.
Many people report after even several weeks of practicing yoga, a noticeable increase in energy, clarity of mind, and insight and awareness. Better quality sleep, increased patience, reduced stress levels, an abundance of joy, and feelings of creativity and playfulness are also commonly reported.
Exploring yoga as a tool of transformation, Jacqui is eternally curious as to how moving one’s body gently and with awareness, has the capacity to impact the state of mind and emotions so positively and to open ourselves up to great insights and awareness.
Learning to focus the mind and regulate the breath has a profound state on the nervous system, bringing about increased balanced and resilience.
Jacqui takes great delight in sharing the joys and profound benefits of yoga. Building a sense of community, whether local to area where she lives and works, or as part of building an online yoga community is an important part of her life work.
Wherever you are located in the world, Jacqui’s online yoga classes are for those who appreciate a balanced and accessible approach to yoga, with a focus on breathwork, relaxation practices and meditation, with a view to transformation and explore our individual and collective highest potential.
Many people often report they’d be happier if their life improved by even 10%. Jacqui believes this – and far more – is possible with the reflective practices of yoga.
