Tiffany Fleetwood-Bird
Tiffany has been teaching for the past 22 years & brings her passion & enthusiasm for yoga to all her classes.
Originating from the UK Tiffany discovered Yoga whilst travelling in Nepal, attending a week course in an Ashram just outside Katmandu. Her introduction to yoga included all aspects & she began a daily practice right from the start which has supported through the ebbs & flows of life.
Undertaking a nine-month full-time teacher training course in Byron Bay 2001, she met her main teacher Matthew Sweeney & has continued to study with him regularly. She completed an apprenticeship under him & is currently one of his senior Vinyasa Krama Teachers. She visits him yearly to deepen her own practice & teaching skills & values his ongoing mentor ship.She spent time in the earlier years studying both Satyananda & Iyengar Yoga but found her true home in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which was her main practice for over 10 years. In the past few years her practice & teaching have evolved towards the Vinyasa Krama Sequences designed by Matthew Sweeney.
