Meet the AYTT team ⭐️

Meet Carol Merry - an experienced yoga teacher whose approach is shaped by nearly two decades of practice, continued study and a deep respect for the tradition of yoga.

Carol brings a considered, technically informed approach to teaching, with a particular interest in intelligent sequencing, the relationship between movement and breath, and the ways asana, pranayama and meditation can support deeper self-understanding.

A dedicated student herself, Carol understands that skilled teaching is built through curiosity, practice and a willingness to keep learning. She brings this depth of personal experience and practical knowledge to her work, supporting students to move beyond simply learning shapes and towards a more considered understanding of how and why we practise.

In 2027, Carol will be teaching with AYTT on the Gold Coast at Yoga for Living ❤️‍🔥 delivering key components of our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, including asana, alignment, the use of props, adjustments, sequencing, teaching methodology and pranayama.

We’re stoked to have Carol sharing her knowledge and experience with our next generation of yoga teachers ❤️

Meet Amy Booth — yoga educator, studio owner and co-founder of The Yoga Partnership, a charity whose work is driven by a commitment to making yoga accessible to more people.

Since 2009, Amy has owned and led Amber Tree Yoga Studio, bringing more than 17 years of experience in teaching, studio leadership and building a yoga community.

In 2020, The Yoga Partnership was born - with a clear purpose: to reach the people yoga wasn’t reaching. Recognising that cost, location, accessibility and the traditional studio model can prevent people from accessing yoga, Amy helped develop a different approach — bringing yoga and mindfulness into communities, mental health services and rural areas, in ways that respond to people’s individual circumstances and needs.

During her university studies she was fascinated in the anatomy and physiology labs learning off cadavers, seeing how bodies fit together and function.

Amy is our Brisbane lead facilitator teaching Asana, alignment, adjustments, sequencing, Pranayama and teaching methodologies. She teaches anatomy across all of our trainings ❤️

Gopali ❤️ Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner whose work brings together decades of study and practice across yoga, Ayurveda, counselling and social work.

Raised in Northern NSW, Gopali grew up immersed in Bhakti yoga and the Ayurvedic lifestyle. She has owned her own yoga studio and runs her own Ayurvedic practice in Murwillumbah, supporting her community through this traditional system of health and wellbeing.

Gopali brings a depth of knowledge to her teaching, with particular interests in nutrition, emotional health and the relationship between our daily habits and overall wellbeing.

Gopali’s teaching offers students an opportunity to explore yoga beyond the physical practice, developing a deeper understanding of the koshas, chakras and subtle body, while discovering how Ayurveda can inform their understanding of themselves and their wellbeing. Her ability to make complex concepts accessible helps students connect these teachings with their own experience and practice ❤️

You’ll find Gopali teaching across all 200hr trainings - Brisbane, Gold Coast and Online.

Excitedly, Gopali will also become a regular teacher on the schedule of our online classes membership from next week! More info on this soon ❤️

What if yoga is the missing piece between body and mind?

For Evie Bowes, this question has been a lifelong exploration — through Buddhist philosophy, psychotherapy, trauma and attachment, motherhood, and the practice of yoga itself.

Her yoga journey began at 15, in a small community hall in the UK. The main motivation? Avoiding PE outdoors on a cold winter’s day. 😂 But it was the trāṭaka (fire gazing) that closed each class that captured her attention, offering her a first glimpse of the profound stillness found in sitting meditation.

In her late teens, Evie discovered Buddhism, which she continued to study and practise throughout her twenties. Along the way, she completed a BA in Philosophy and an MA in Gender Studies and Religion, deepening her interest in how Eastern wisdom might inform the realities of modern Western life.

This inquiry led her into child psychotherapy, where she gained a MA in Child Psychotherapy and spent the following ten years working with young people who had experienced complex and developmental trauma. Her work in trauma and attachment brought her back, once again, to yoga — this time with a deeper understanding of the relationship between our experiences, our nervous systems and our capacity to heal.

Motherhood then brought its own profound challenges. Experiencing postnatal depression took Evie into the depths of healing in its most personal and raw form. During this time, she trained as a yoga teacher and began finding her way back towards health.

Despite never having been particularly drawn to physical exertion, she found herself practising Ashtanga yoga — discovering a way to bring her enduring interest in yoga and healing back into the spotlight.

Today, Evie brings these worlds together with depth, compassion and a nuanced understanding of what it means to care for ourselves and others.

We’re so grateful to have Evie bringing her experience and perspective to AYTT.

You can find Evie teaching across all of our trainings (Gold Coast, Brisbane & Online) specialising in philosophy, ethics, the critical history of yoga and meditation.

If you’re a yoga teacher struggling to build regulars, this might be worth leaning into.

I want to tell you that’s it’s rarely about your sequencing.

It’s more often about whether people feel truly met when they walk into your class.

Whether there’s structure and space.

Whether you’re reading the room, and working with what emerges, rather than sticking to a plan.

This is what our next training is about - relational awareness, the nervous system, and what trauma-informed teaching actually means (hint: it’s not just offering endless choice).

The course is practical - grounded in yoga philosophy and nervous system research - two different worlds landing on surprisingly similar conclusions.

You don’t need fixing to teach well. You already have what it takes - this training will simply sharpen it.

Reach out for more ❤️

Such an honour to walk beside each human that enters into our training world ❤️

On the weekend, we had our final closing ceremony for our 2026 200hr trainings.

What I love about the online program is that despite being virtual, the sense of community is still so strong.

Creating safe, trauma informed, nervous system aware and deeply relational teachers is something we are so passionate about at AustraliaYogaTeacherTraining.

Early bird options across our online, Brisbane and Gold Coast trainings are open! If you join our in person trainings, you get full access to our online training, meaning you can start whenever you are ready. Especially if you are someone that likes to take your time and immerse and prepare before we come together.

If this feels like the right time for you, we’d love to have you with us 😀
