Shahrean’s Yoga journey started at the age of 3. She was fortunate to be born into a family of Yoga practitioners and almost everything she learnt has been under the guidance of her late grandfather and mother. From the time she can remember, she has always loved practicing Yoga and looked forward to the early morning sessions with her mother before going to school. There was something about that time on the mat that just made her happy!

She has since been teaching Yoga for over 15 years and has never looked back. A mental health advocate, she completed a degree in Psychology at Monash University to support her understanding of the complexities of the mind which has greatly complimented her Yoga teachings. She is also a qualified personal trainer, has additional training in children’s Yoga from Rainbow Kids Yoga and is a registered member of Yoga Australia.

Shahrean truly believes the practice of Yoga and Mindfulness especially at a young age can offer tools to regulate our nervous system, deal with tough emotions and develop resilience.

I’m delighted to be a new member of the team at MKY. I enjoy the fun and unity that the power of play brings to each session. To me, this form of group interaction is unique to a kids yoga environment – non-competitive, free and collaborative. My classes are led with prep-readiness in mind, supporting posture, finding their voices and creating an environment that encourages growth of the individual child through expressive movement. I’ve completed over 500 hours of training with The Yoga Social and have received vocational training with Kids Yoga Ed.
