Claudia
Life has been gifted Claudia the experience of many cultures, countries and professions. Underlying her journey has been a seeking for the deeper truths of life and Yoga has been her portal into that dimension.
Claudia teaches embodiment. Claudia’s classes are designed to help people be in their bodies and to develop the awareness and ability to remain present for all of the physical sensations, emotional fluctuations and thought formations that bubble up through the layers of the body-mind during the practice.
Students are guided to refine their sensitivity and ability to listen to what is happening in their body. To use the breath to clear away the contractions and tightness they feel and the light of their awareness to peel back the layers of conditioning so that they can begin to experience with more clarity who they really are.
Claudia’s style is fluid, with attention to alignment and energy. The classes are designed to leave you feeling energized, calm and serene.
Tracy
Tracy came to yoga 10 years ago and immediately developed a strong connection with the practice of yoga. Her classes provide a balanced combination of asana and traditional yogic philosophy. Tracy is sincere and light hearted allowing her students plenty of space to develop their practice through the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The classes provide a safe and nurturing space to explore a powerful blend of physical strength and flexibility while facilitating a true depth in wellbeing.
Tracy’s classes are dialogue led - which enables her to guide, support and assist students when required. Her intention is always to deliver classes in a way which enables integration of these teachings into life beyond the studio.
Tracy is experienced in teaching all levels and all ages from teens to seniors and celebrates her students reaching their fullest potential.
Rachel
Yoga has brought an abundance of connection within Rachel's life, both on and off the mat. She enjoys the physical benefits of strength and flexibility, alongside mental and emotional clarity through meditation practices. Within her teachings, Rachel aims to hold a space where students can safely connect, reflect, play, explore, and simply be with themselves.
Rachel's favourite classes to teach are Yin Yoga, Slow-Flow Vinyasa and Meditation. She enjoys working closely with beginners, holding a particular focus on foundational alignment cues within classes of flow. Whilst within the stillness of Yin, she loves incorporating meditative practices to deepen the experience.
Bruna
Students coming to Bruna's classes can expect a slow but strong Vinyasa flow practice, focusing on the connection of breath and movement and always inspired by a physical and philosophical theme/intention.
Bruno engages in ongoing learning with her senior teachers and attends workshops to keep expanding her knowledge. Bruna has recently completed a certificate in Yoga Massage with the intention to deepen her understanding of anatomy, breathwork, energy systems, chakras, meridians and a more metaphysical understanding of the body. She also attended a day-workshop on Pregnancy Yoga in order to be able to more confidently welcome expecting ladies in her classes. Her next goal is to complete the 500HR teacher training.
Kimbali
Kimbali began practising yoga in 2008 and was introduced to Ashtanga yoga a few years later by her first teacher, Yumi Kaneko.
Through teaching Kimbali hopes to share her love for a practice that changed her life, and which continues to support her daily on many levels. Working as a Mental Health Social Worker for over 10 years, her yoga practice has been the most important tool in supporting her capacity to continue to carry out therapeutic work – through assisting her to manage the associated pressures and attend to her own self care needs.
Kimbali’s practice and teaching involves a devotional enquiry into self, arrived at through attention to breath and dristhi while practising asana. Through practising this method, she experienced more space in the body and mind, building steadiness and strength within – and her hope is to share with others’ that the qualities of peace and grounding cultivated through practice can be carried into daily life.
Natalie
Natalie brings her years of professional experience in women’s fitness to her yoga classes.
She has integrated her regular, personal yoga practice into her profession, and has embraced the balance that yoga brings to her dynamic physical work as a personal trainer, by qualifying as a 350hr RYT in 2018. She is committed to ongoing professional development to broaden her yoga knowledge.
Natalie’s Vinyasa Flow style incorporates mindful strength and restorative mobility to energise and uplift. She aims to create a relaxed and open energy in the room for students to be themselves. You’ll feel empowered & positive after her classes!
Natalie wants to connect with beginner and intermediate yogis who are looking for a teacher who brings diverse life experience, maturity and warmth to those who seek authenticity & fun in their practice.

Our background story if you would like to know a little more:
Junction Yoga is a small family business with a passion and commitment for doing good in the local area. We are the third generation of the Sullivan Family to put our energy and effort into the Coorparoo Junction via Sullivan’s Building.
With a vision for the local community, James (J. A.) Sullivan, our grandfather, built the Sullivan’s Building in 1952. J.A. sought to do good in and for the community and became well respected in this regard. J.A. had instilled the same values in his children, and our father, John Sullivan, followed closely in his footsteps.
Dad had an incredible determination and was known for his exacting standards and generosity to the local community. He was charitable in the support he offered to organisations that did good in the world also to the local businesses at Coorparoo Junction.
Dad and Mum married in 1959, and then we came along. James, Katrina and Claire are three of seven siblings. Growing up in the local area, the Coorparoo Junction and Sullivan’s Building have always been a part of our lives. While we all have had our own adventures, lived and worked away, family and community has always remained central to our lives. In 2008 we came together in business and strive to continue the Sullivan family involvement in the local community.
We are generally all-round good sorts. Our goal really is to create the best environment and instruction for you to get what you need out of your yoga practice. Contact us if you have suggestions, feedback or just want to know a little more about what Junction Yoga could offer you.
Namaste,
James, Katrina and Claire
