About

Jacqueline Brumley & Shimon Tchobutaru are devoted to a life of Yoga. Together they have over 70 years of collective experience and have been sharing their expert knowledge with students for over 4 decades.
In a world where knowledge is available at our fingertips, where information on any subject is saturated & diluted, Jacqui & Shimon are learned teachers & are walking testaments of Yoga authenticity.
They are skilled, knowledgeable and highly experienced Yoga instructors. Coming from a diverse background of Yoga teaching styles, both Jacqui & Shimon gained Iyengar Yoga certification which they taught for many years. They have also trained in the more classical systems of Yoga before formulating their own unique style of teaching.

Collective experience, knowledge and a deep understanding

Jacqui started Yoga at 16 and taught her first Yoga class when she was 19. She has now taught Yoga for over 4 decades.
Shimon started Yoga in his 30’s in Perth and soon after completed teacher training to begin his teaching vocation.
In 2000 they opened their first Yoga studio called Hawthorn Yoga Centre.
