Jasmine Tarkeshi The Art of Tantra

Friday 13th November - Tuesday 17th November 2026

INVESTMENT

  • $750 (payment plans available - contact Clare hello@soultribestudio.com.au)

    SCHEDULE

  • Friday 13th November 1pm - 5pm

  • Saturday 14th November 9am - 4pm

  • Sunday 15th November 9am - 4pm

  • Monday 16th November 11am - 4pm

  • Tuesday 17th November 1pm - 5pm

Join Jasmine Tarkeshi, Founder of Lotusland Yoga SF and Creator of Lotus Flow Vinyasa Yoga, for an extraordinary 5-day 25-hour Teacher Training at Soul Tribe in Batemans Bay, Australia.

Jasmine will guide us on a healing and creative journey of living, practicing, and teaching through the lens of Tantra Yoga.

What You’ll Explore

You’ll learn the beautiful and often misunderstood teachings of Tantra Yoga — wisdom that invites us to live, practice, and teach in deep intimacy with nature and our own true nature.

In Sanskrit, Tantra means “weaving” or “interconnection,” from the root tan, meaning “to extend” or “expand.” One of yoga’s most ancient paths, Tantra is a system of ritual, practice, art, and healing that awakens śakti (dormant creative energy). These timeless teachings remind us how to heal our relationship with our bodies, senses, each other, and the world.

At its heart, Tantra asks us to see the sacred in the everyday — to transcend dualities such as body and spirit, dark and light, mundane and holy — and to embrace the fullness of life as a path toward freedom, creativity, and well-being.

Through this intensive, Jasmine will weave together:

  • Āsana (physical postures)

  • Prāṇāyāma (breathing practices)

  • Mudrā (sacred hand gestures)

  • Mantra (sacred sound formulas)

  • Yantra (mandalas symbolising the cosmos)

An integral aspect of Tantra is Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion), with the Daśa Mahāvidyā (the Ten Great Wisdom Goddesses) at its heart — around which this training will unfold.

Training Highlights

Over five days you will:

  • Explore Tantra’s Ten Wisdom Goddesses through 90-minute Vinyasa classes and dynamic philosophy sessions

  • Discover how these teachings express themselves in the body, mind, and spirit

  • Learn simple daily rituals to weave Tantra into your practice and teaching

  • Explore yantra meditation and colouring practices with accompanying mantras

  • Study classical Tantric texts such as the Śiva Saṃhitā, which honour the body as a microcosm of the universe

You’ll also experience five Master Vinyasa classes invoking the art and soul of Tantra Yoga. Through movement, mantra, mudrā, meditation, and yoga’s rich mythology, you’ll learn to spiritualise all aspects of life and unlock your creative potential.

Class Themes

Each class explores a different aspect of the Mahāvidyā:

  1. Compassion & Wisdom – Tārā / Dumavatī
    Standing poses to cultivate compassion and peace, preparing body and mind for the journey ahead.

  2. Courage, Discipline & Transformation – Bhairavī / Kālī
    Fiery twists, arm balances, and tapas practices to awaken courage, discipline, and change.

  3. Truth & Transcendence of Ego – Chinnamastā / Bagalāmukhī
    Inversions and practices of boldness, surrender, and cutting through illusion.

  4. Divine Abundance, Beauty & Harmony – Kamalātmikā / Tripura Sundarī
    Heart-opening backbends to awaken love, generosity, and kindness.

  5. Knowledge & Creative Expression – Bhuvaneśvarī / Mātangī
    Forward folds and twists to cultivate truth, honest expression, and service to all beings.

Who It’s For

This immersion is perfect for yoga teachers seeking fresh inspiration, and for dedicated practitioners wanting to dive deeper into the joy, wisdom, and freedom of Tantra Yoga.

Come away with a renewed connection to your practice, your teaching, and your life — inspired, empowered, and grounded in the sacredness of everyday living.

A transformational training for people who want to deepen their practice, reconnect with themselves, and learn how to teach yoga in an authentic, grounded and embodied way.

This training is about far more than becoming a yoga teacher.

It’s about learning how to trust yourself.

It’s about finding your voice.
Learning how to regulate your nervous system.
Learning how to move through life with more clarity, courage and compassion.

Yes, you’ll learn how to teach exceptional yoga classes.

But more importantly, you’ll learn how to live your life with greater awareness, confidence and presence.

You do not need to be advanced.
You do not need to be flexible.
You do not need to want to teach.
You do not need to have your life figured out.

I invite you to trust the ‘strange pull of what you really love’. As Rumi says, it will never lead you astray.

Weekend Training Dates

7:00am - 5:45pm each day.

The training is held over 9 weekends at our beautiful South Coast studio, ending with a luxurious retreat immersion at Murrah Dream.

Located right beside some of the most pristine beaches in the world, Soul Tribe offers the perfect environment for deep study, transformation and connection.

Lifetime Access to the Online Training Portal

As part of the training, students will receive lifetime access to our online training portal.

This portal is designed to support you throughout the course and long after the training has finished, allowing you to revisit and continue integrating the teachings at your own pace.

Inside the portal you will have access to:

  • pre-recorded yoga classes

  • philosophy lectures

  • anatomy content

  • meditation practices

  • pranayama sessions

  • sequencing guidance

  • teaching methodology

  • journaling prompts

  • yin yoga practices

  • nervous system support tools

  • recommended reading and resources

  • replay recordings of online mentoring sessions

  • additional bonus content throughout the training

One of the beautiful things about yoga teacher training is that the teachings continue to reveal themselves over time.

Often students return to lectures and practices months or even years later with a completely new level of understanding and lived experience.

This portal becomes an ongoing library of support, inspiration, practice and study that you can continue returning to long after the training journey is complete.

Closing Retreat

Murrah Dream Retreat

25–27 June 2027

The Soul Tribe Yoga Immersion culminates in a beautiful 3-day all-inclusive retreat held at the stunning Murrah Dream Retreat space on the South Coast of NSW.

Nestled in nature and surrounded by rolling countryside, this retreat is designed as a deeply nourishing and transformational closing to our journey together.

Over three days we will slow down, integrate, reflect, practise, rest, connect and celebrate everything that has unfolded throughout the training.

Expect cosy winter evenings by the fire, nourishing chef-prepared meals, beautiful luxe accommodation, deep conversations, laughter, music, rest and connection.

This retreat includes:

  • final teaching assessments

  • yoga & meditation

  • yin yoga

  • nervous system restoration

  • sound healing

  • live music

  • philosophy & reflection

  • ceremony

  • journaling & integration

This retreat is fully inclusive of:

  • accommodation

  • all meals

  • retreat tuition

  • yoga & workshops

  • sound healing experiences

  • all retreat activities

By the end of the weekend, students often leave not only feeling more confident as teachers, but more connected to themselves, their community and the path ahead.

It is always one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of the entire training experience.

This Training Is For You If…

  • You feel called to something more meaningful

  • You want to deepen your understanding of yoga beyond the physical practice

  • You struggle with self doubt or lack confidence

  • You want to learn how to use your voice authentically

  • You want tools to regulate your nervous system and navigate life with more ease

  • You want to teach yoga professionally

  • You want to reconnect with yourself

  • You’re craving growth, community and purpose

This training welcomes complete beginners through to experienced practitioners.

Yoga Teacher Training Is A Training For Life

I dont usually throw statements like this around, but I truly believe everyone should do a yoga teacher training with a teacher who resonates with them.

It doesn’t matter if you dont want to teach yoga in a class setting.

It doesn’t matter if you cant hold handstand or bend yourself into a million positions.

It doesn’t matter if you dont think you’re calm, spiritual, flexible, young, old, or ‘good’ enough.

A yoga teacher training teaches you how to take responsibility for your life.

You learn how to:

  • regulate your nervous system

  • work with your thoughts rather than be controlled by them

  • communicate more honestly

  • navigate conflict with greater awareness

  • move through challenges with grace and resilience

  • stop abandoning yourself

  • trust your intuition

  • live with more peace, gratitude and purpose

You grow within a deeply supportive group environment with one on one mentoring throughout the training.

We can do hard things, gently.

Meet Your Lead Teacher

Clare Lovelace

I completed my first yoga teacher training in 2013 with Mathew Bergan from Dancing Warrior Yoga in Sydney.

At the time, I was almost 30, completely unsure of myself, deeply anxious, and convinced I wasn’t capable of teaching.

Yoga changed my life.

Not because it made everything perfect, but because it taught me how to trust myself for the first time.

Since then I’ve devoted my life to teaching, studying and sharing these practices. I’ve studied with internationally respected teachers including Sarah Powers, Shiva Rea and Simon Borg-Olivier, taught at studios across Sydney, worked with organisations including UNICEF and ABC Broadcasting, and founded Soul Tribe Studio in 2018.

For the past decade I’ve been leading teacher trainings, retreats and classes that combine strong intelligent sequencing with deep philosophy, nervous system awareness and authentic human connection.

My intention is not to create carbon copy teachers.

My intention is to help you uncover your own authentic voice.

A Personal Story

On the eve of my first yoga teacher training in 2013 I was sitting in the kitchen with my then boyfriend, feeling sick with nerves. What am I doing, I said. I cant be a yoga teacher. I cant even ‘do’ yoga very well. I’m completely uncoordinated, I have zero qualifications, I don’t have a home, I don’t have any money, I’m almost 30, my life is a mess. I’m so scared I’ll fail at this as well, and then that will be it.

He looked at me.

You’ll be fine. He said, ever nonchalant. Have another beer.

I didn’t think that would help but I drunk it anyway.

The next day I got up at 5am which was unheard of for me back in those days. The only 5 am I ever saw was on the way home from a party. I got on the train to St Peters. I had my yoga books under my arm. The only other people on the train were bleary eyed tradies in fluro vests drinking cans of Monster. I arrived at Dancing Warrior Yoga. My training had begun.

Over the course of the next few months I quickly realised a few things.

  • I mumbled and no one could hear me. I was constantly told to speak up.

  • I was terrible at arm balancing, handstands, planks, anything involving arm strength.

  • I couldn’t learn sequences

  • I had problems with left and right

BUT

  • I had a natural aptitude for yoga philosophy

  • I remembered I loved to write

  • I realised that with enough practice I could do anything

  • I started to believe in myself for the first time since I was a little girl

During that training I turned 30. We went to the local cafe and my teacher Matt bought me lunch. You’re so young. Everyone said.  I didn’t feel it. 30 felt so old. Surely at 30 I’m supposed to feel like an adult. Surely I’m meant to have a house, or at least a car, or savings or kids? All I had was a tattered backpack and some falling apart clothes and a string of unsuitable relationships.

A huge part of the training was learning to teach, which meant mock classes, getting up in front of the group and leading a sequence. Somehow I hadn’t quite realised that teaching yoga meant speaking in front of people. I would get so nervous my voice would crack and my hands would shake so much I couldn’t hold my notes.

It’s easy to look at someone teaching and think they were born like that. I’ve been teaching for 10 years and not just teaching a little bit. I threw myself into teaching yoga with everything I had. I was desperate, but more than that I was on fire. Something had been ignited within me that would never go out. I soaked up every mystical word. Even though in many ways teaching was the hardest thing I’d ever done, and I was objectively terrible at it, I kept going. I got really lucky. I’ve had brilliant teachers and brilliant mentors who tell me how it is and dont let me get away with blaming others for my problems, or running away when it gets challenging.

My greatest teacher has been my own inner strength. I never would have considered myself a strong person. Definitely not a leader. I thought I was the opposite. Fade into the background, go with the flow, never rock the boat.

In my most outlandish dreams I never could have imagined I’d be here.  Its 2026. I’m at the helm of a successful yoga studio, 9 years in. Thriving in business against all odds. Doing it my way. Never writing a business plan. Never writing a budget. No formal education. Just a whole lot of passion, determination and old fashioned hard work. When I first started soul tribe we had 3 regular students. Now the newsletter is read by over 4000 people. When I first started the whole building was empty. A ghost town. I was sleeping in my van in the carpark. Between classes I’d basically beg people to come in and drop thousands of flyers that probably never got read all over town. Many people told me to give up. They told me it wouldn’t work.  They told me that so many people had tried and failed to run businesses in the Bay. Especially yoga businesses. It’s not going to happen they said.

I didn’t believe them. And anyway I had nothing to lose. I’d packed up my life and started again so many times I wasn’t afraid. The skills I learnt in that first yoga training course taught me how to trust my intuition. Yoga gave me the courage to say yes, and no, at the right times. Which is really all life is. a series of choices. Yes or no.

If you’re feeling called to step up and really embody the qualities you want to receive, peace, joy, abundance, success, love, play, isn’t it time you said yes?

I’ve been designing and leading exceptional teacher trainings for years now. That’s hundreds of students who overcame self doubt, self sabotage and stories of lack to live the life they always dreamed of. Many of them are teaching yoga and in love with it. Some have opened their own studios. Some are teaching in a quiet way, simply by living their lives with more awareness. Whatever the reason, yoga teacher training is the gateway to inner peace. It’s all within you.

FAQ

I can’t do advanced poses — does that matter?

Not at all. Yoga is not about performance. This training is about awareness, growth and embodiment, not achieving difficult shapes.

I dont want to teach yoga — will I still benefit?

Absolutely. Many students join purely for personal transformation and self development.

Will I be qualified to teach?

Yes. Upon completion you’ll receive certification through Yoga Alliance International.

What if I miss a weekend?

Recorded sessions, livestreaming and catch up options are available.

What Our Graduates Say

“There are so many components of YTT to be grateful for but the biggest one for me was the introduction to mantra and harmonium. My day is not full now until I have played my harmonium, expressed myself through singing and mantra and immersed myself in music. This practice is pure serotonin release through yogic history, devotion, storytelling, vibration, breath and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system at its best! Thank you, Clare for sharing this love, your angelic voice and creating this motivation in me.” ~ Narelle, 2025

“I started my yoga journey late….I was 62. Five years later, something called me to teachers training…..for personal growth rather than a desire to teach. I’ve grown, I’ve learnt, I’ve laughed and I’ve cried….so much more than I could have imagined. Clare is a true gem…passionate, dedicated, knowledgeable and understanding. And a very rare integrity. My classmates are all now lifelong friends, we have all grown together, laughed and cried together…..and learnt SO much together. What a wonderful journey. I have so much gratitude for …well, everything! So if you are looking for a challenge, an interest, a change of direction or just looking for insight, have a chat to Clare, or someone who has undertaken the journey. She makes a great chai! And who knows, maybe I will teach sometime after all.” ~ Steve 2025

“The skills I gained are priceless. I feel more confident, more connected and more aligned with my purpose.” — Sarah 2024

Ready To Say Yes?

If you feel that quiet pull in your heart, trust it.

You dont need to have everything figured out before you begin.

You just need the willingness to take the first step.

I would love to welcome you into this experience.

Saturday 16 August 1030am - 4pm

Sunday 17 August 1030am - 4pm

“Cale vāte calam cittam, niścalaṁ niścalā bhavet”
If the breath wanders, so does the mind. When the breath is steady, so is the mind.
– Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā

There is only one way to reach the mind—through the breath.

Yoga teachers, you are warmly invited to a 2-day in-person immersion dedicated to the transformative practices of prāṇāyāma. Join me in demystifying and embodying these ancient techniques in a practical, accessible way.

Together, we’ll explore not only the how but the why of prāṇāyāma, so you can confidently teach standalone breathwork classes and seamlessly integrate these tools into your existing classes and private sessions.

What You’ll Gain

  • A clear understanding of the principles and applications of prāṇāyāma

  • Confidence to design and lead targeted breath practices for different outcomes

  • Deeper connection to the roots of this practice through ancient texts and chanting

  • Expanded teaching skills rooted in tradition, supported by modern methodology

As my teacher, Dr. Candrasekaran, says:

“Every technique in Yoga is like clay. The product depends entirely on the hands and teaching methodology of the potter.”

This immersion is designed to strengthen your hands as a teacher—to help you craft breathwork experiences that are intelligent, effective, and transformational.

Techniques We Will Cover

  • Pūraka & Recaka Prāṇāyāma (inhale- and exhale-focused)

  • Kumbhaka (breath retention)

  • Ujjāyī, Anuloma, Viloma Ujjāyī

  • Candra & Sūrya Bedana

  • Nāḍi Śodhana, Sītali, Kapālabhāti

Core Teaching Topics

  • Preparing students for prāṇāyāma within a regular class

  • Āsana as preparation for breathwork

  • Class design: sequencing, structure, and energetic arc

  • Breath assessment & 1:1 coaching

  • The Three Gates: Deśa (technique), Kāla (timing), Saṅkhyā (repetition)

  • Vinyāsa of prāṇāyāma: the art of progressive layering

  • Energetics of practice: kleśa, prāṇa, agni, mala

  • Brṃhaṇa, Laṅghana, Samāna: energetic effects

  • Modifications and adaptations for real students

  • Breath ratios in sitting and āsana (Viṣamavṛtti, Samavṛtti)

  • Integrating mantra, bhāvanā, and bandha into breathwork

Texts We’ll Reflect On

  • Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras (2.49–2.52)

  • Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā

  • Bhairava Tantra

  • Bhagavad Gītā

  • Teachings from the Krishnamacharya lineage

“Practice prāṇāyāma with attention. Then, when the breath becomes long and smooth, the mind is ready for meditation.”
T. Krishnamacharya

A personal story:

On the eve of my first yoga teacher training in 2013 I was sitting in the kitchen with my then boyfriend, feeling sick with nerves. What am I doing, I said. I cant be a yoga teacher. I cant even ‘do’ yoga very well. I’m completely uncoordinated, I have zero qualitifications, I dont have a home, I dont have any money, I’m almost 30, my life is a mess. I’m so scared I’ll fail at this as well, and then that will be it.

He looked at me.

You’ll be fine. He said, ever nonchalant. Have another beer.

I didn’t think that would help but I drunk it anyway.

The next day I got up at 5am which was unheard of for me back in those days. The only 5 am I ever saw was on the way home from a party. I got on the train to St Peters. I had my yoga books under my arm. The only other people on the train were bleary eyed tradies in fluro vests drinking cans of Monster. I arrived at Dancing Warrior Yoga. My training had begun.

Over the course of the next few months I quickly realised a few things.

  • I mumbled and no one could hear me. I was constantly told to speak up.

  • I was terrible at arm balancing, handstands, planks, anything involving arm strength.

  • I couldn’t learn sequences

  • I had problems with left and right

BUT

  • I had a natural aptitude for yoga philosophy

  • I remembered I loved to write

  • I realised that with enough practice I could do anything

  • I started to believe in myself for the first time since I was a little girl

During that training I turned 30. We went to the local cafe and my teacher Matt bought me lunch. You’re so young. Everyone said.  I didn’t feel it. 30 felt so old. Surely at 30 I’m supposed to feel like an adult. Surely I’m meant to have a house, or at least a car, or savings or kids? All I had was a tattered backpack and some falling apart clothes and a string of unsuitable relationships.

A huge part of the training was learning to teach, which meant mock classes, getting up in front of the group and leading a sequence. Somehow I hadn’t quite realised that teaching yoga meant speaking in front of people. I would get so nervous my voice would crack and my hands would shake so much I couldn’t hold my notes.

It’s easy to look at someone teaching and think they were born like that. I’ve been teaching for 10 years and not just teaching a little bit. I threw myself into teaching yoga with everything I had. I was desperate, but more than that I was on fire. Something had been ignited within me that would never go out. I soaked up every mystical word. Even though in many ways teaching was the hardest thing I’d ever done, and I was objectively terrible at it, I kept going. I got really lucky. I’ve had brilliant teachers and brilliant mentors who tell me how it is and dont let me get away with blaming others for my problems, or running away when it gets challenging.

My greatest teacher has been my own inner strength. I never would have considered myself a strong person. Definitely not a leader. I thought I was the opposite. Fade into the background, go with the flow, never rock the boat.

In my most outlandish dreams I never could have imagined I’d be here. Its 2025. I’m at the helm of a successful yoga studio, 7 years in. Thriving in business against all odds. Doing it my way. Never writing a business plan. Never writing a budget. No formal education. Just a whole lot of passion, determination and old fashioned hard work. When I first started soul tribe we had 3 regular students. Now the newsletter is read by over 4000 people. When I first started the whole building was empty. A ghost town. I was sleeping in my van in the carpark. Between classes I’d basically beg people to come in and drop thousands of flyers that probably never got read all over town. Many people told me to give up. They told me it wouldn’t work.  They told me that so many people had tried and failed to run businesses in the Bay. Especially yoga businesses. It’s not going to happen they said.

I didn’t believe them. And anyway I had nothing to lose. I’d packed up my life and started again so many times I wasn’t afraid. The skills I learnt in that first yoga training course taught me how to trust my intuition. Yoga gave me the courage to say yes, and no, at the right times. Which is really all life is. a series of choices. Yes or no.

If you’re feeling called to step up and really embody the qualities you want to receive, peace, joy, abundance, success, love, play, isn’t it time you said yes?

I’ve been designing and leading exceptional teacher trainings for over 8 years now. That’s hundreds of students who overcame self doubt, self sabotage and stories of lack to live the life they always dreamed of. Many of them are teaching yoga and in love with it. Some have opened their own studios. Some are teaching in a quiet way, simply by living their lives with more awareness. Whatever the reason, yoga teacher training is the gateway to inner peace. It’s all within you.


Weekend Training Dates:

  • August: 9th–10th, 23rd–24th

  • September: 6th–7th, 20th–21st

  • October: 4th–5th, 18th–19th

  • November: 1st–2nd, 15th–16th

  • Final Retreat: 28th–30th November


Yoga Teacher Training isn’t only about teaching yoga. Yes you learn how to be an exceptional yoga teacher, but it’s so much more than that. The teaching skills you learn are transferrable to EVERYTHING ELSE YOU DO.

Learn

  • How to use your voice authentically and clearly

  • How to overcome shyness and self doubt (if I can do it, as the shyest person on the planet, so can you)

  • How to access a powerhouse of energy within you using the ancient techniques and technology of yoga

  • How to apply ancient yoga philosophy to your modern life and use these teachings to live a fulfilled life that benefits others as much as you

  • How to follow your passions without fear

  • How to tap into your unique purpose

  • How to live each day with peace and gratitude

  • How to access your inner confidence and move past limiting beliefs.

I completed my first YTT in 2014, age 30. At the time I had very little money, no savings, no qualifications, no degree, no trade. I was waitressing and bartending and was generally very lost. I had extremely low self confidence and was very shy. I spoke so softly , no one could ever hear what I was saying. I felt extremely awkward in most situations.

Fast forward 11 years. I own and teach at a thriving yoga studio going from strength to strength, coming into my 7th year of studio ownership and 11th year of running my own business teaching yoga. I make all my income from teaching and the studio. I’ve never had another job on the side. There can never be enough yoga teachers. This knowledge and ability to guide people to regulate their own nervous systems and learn how to love themselves is SO NEEDED EVERYWHERE. Whether or not you decide to teach yoga classes, you will automatically teach everyone around you, just through your way of being.

 

In August I'm facilitating a four month deep dive into Yoga, a transformational Yoga Teacher Training that will change everything. I've been running this training yearly at the studio since 2018 and each year the course becomes more embodied, more potent, richer and deeper. 

 

If 2025 is the year you say YES to your passion and love for Yoga in all its myriad forms, this training is for you. 

 

I dont usually throw statements like this around but I truly believe everyone should do a yoga teacher training with a teacher who resonates with you. 

 

  • It doesn’t matter if you dont want to teach yoga in a class setting.

  • It doesn’t matter if you cant hold handstand or bend yourself into a million positions.

  • It doesn’t matter if you dont think you’re calm, spiritual, flexible, young, old, ‘good’ enough.

  • A yoga teacher training is a training for life. You learn how to take responsibility for your life.

  • You learn how to forgive yourself and others so you can free up all the valuable energy you’re wasting on holding grudges.

  • You learn how to face life’s challenges with grace, strength, courage and a sense of humour.

  • You learn that your mind doesn’t have to control you.

  • You learn that your thoughts aren’t true.

  • You learn how to regulate your own nervous system.

  • You learn how to deal with conflict in your relationships.

  • You learn how to not take everything so personally.

  • You learn how to stop blaming others, the government, capitalism, the system for the way you feel.

  • You learn that only you are the master of your own feelings.

  • You learn all of this through the rich, supportive lens of yogic philosophy taught in a way that is relevant to your life now.

  • You grow within a supportive group of people who have your back, no matter what.

  • You grow with one on one mentoring support.

  • We can do hard things, gently.  Yoga gives us the strength to do them.

 

Yoga Teacher Training starts on 9th August held over alternate weekends at our beautiful South Coast studio, ending in a luxurious retreat at Murrah Dream. Our studio is right next to some of the most pristine beautiful beaches in the world for pre and post study swims.

Love Clare Meet Your Lead Teacher: Clare Lovelace

At my core, I believe in love—that we are all naturally compassionate, kind, and deeply connected. My purpose is to hold space for you to rediscover your magic, trust in yourself, and move through life with joy and authenticity.

My journey with yoga began when I was searching for something more—a deeper connection, a sense of belonging. Through movement, breath, and meditation, I found my way home.

Since completing my first 200-hour training in 2014 with Mathew Bergan (Dancing Warrior Yoga, Sydney), I’ve devoted my life to teaching. I’ve studied with masters like Sarah Powers and taught at renowned studios across Sydney, as well as for UNICEF and ABC Broadcasting.

In 2018, I founded Soul Tribe Studio, where I’ve been leading teacher trainings, retreats, and classes ever since.

I know firsthand how this practice can change everything—not just the way you move, but the way you see yourself and the world.

I can’t wait to walk this path with you. 💛

FAQ’s

💭 I can’t do advanced poses—does that matter?
Not at all! Yoga is about how you live, not what you can do physically. Over four months, you’ll find more strength, space, and confidence in body, mind, and heart.

💭 I don’t want to teach—will I still benefit?
Absolutely. Many students join for personal growth, not to teach. This training will enrich everything in your life, helping you live in alignment with your truest self.

💭 I want to teach—will this prepare me?
YES! From week one, you’ll gain hands-on teaching experience. Many of our graduates now teach at Soul Tribe and beyond!

💭 What if I can’t make all the weekends?
Live-streaming and recorded sessions are available, plus catch-up options. You’ll also have lifetime access to our online learning platform.

💭 Will I be certified to teach?
Yes! Upon completion, you’ll be registered with Yoga Alliance International, allowing you to teach worldwide. Just make sure to have First Aid certification and public liability insurance.

YTT Info Session with Clare

YTT Info Session with Clare

💫 YOGA TEACHER TRAINING INFO SESSION

Saturday 14 June | 11am–12pm
In-Studio at Soul Tribe + on Zoom

Thinking about doing your Yoga Teacher Training—but not sure if it’s the right time, the right fit, or even if it’s for you?

This free Info Session is a chance to get clarity. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about our upcoming 200hr Soul Tribe Yoga Teacher Training, starting Friday 9 August.

Yoga teacher training is not about learning how to do a great ‘downward facing dog’. It’s about getting intimate with the parts of yourself that have been under the surface for many years, maybe things that feel scary or challenging but that actually contain the seeds of your fullest potential.

Yoga teacher training is about accepting yourself as you are, it’s about saying NO once and for all to those self limited beliefs or stories of unworthiness.

It’s about taking responsibility for your own life, turning towards the light whilst embracing the shadow and realising ultimately they are one.

It’s about resourcing yourself with a toolkit of physical, energetic, emotional and mental strengthening practices that actually support you through the waves of life. These tools allow you to surf the waves rather than get stuck in them.

I’m so grateful to be able to do this work. I learn so much every time. This will be the 9th Yoga Teacher Training I’ve run at Soul Tribe and each year the course becomes deeper and richer.

If you’re even the tiniest bit curious, this info session is for you. Either in person or via zoom.

We’ll cover:

  • Who this training is for

  • The course structure, schedule, and what you'll learn

  • How we integrate anatomy, sequencing, philosophy, and real-world teaching skills

  • What makes Soul Tribe’s approach different (intimate group size, real feedback, deep mentorship)

  • Payment options—including 12-month and 18-month plans

There’ll be space for any questions you’ve got. Whether you're a “maybe” or already halfway to “yes,” come along and get a feel for the training and the community that holds it.

You can join in-person or via Zoom—just let us know when you book which one you’ll attend.

📍 All info here: soultribestudio.com.au/yoga-teacher-training/200hr-yoga-teacher-training-2025

Let’s chat, connect, and take the first step toward something big.
