Christine Du Fresne is a Certified Anusara Yoga® teacher.

I began practicing yoga in the mid-1980’s when I was raising a young daughter and completing a post-graduate year in painting. As I began to learn about the philosophy that gives meaning to the physical asanas (postures) I understood how the practice could give shape and clarity to my life.

My teacher for the first 10 years was Pixie Lillas, a senior Iyengar teacher in Sydney. I am grateful to her for helping to instill in me a commitment to and love of the practice. I soon undertook a teacher training programme with her.

Some years later I completed a 4-year apprenticeship with Craig Sharp, then a certified Anusara Yoga® teacher. When Craig first spoke of his intention to follow this “yoga of the heart” I knew I had found my true path.

My deepest gratitude goes to John Friend, the highly respected founding teacher of Anusara Yoga who has also been my teacher on many memorable occasions, and to Craig for his guidance and rigorous training in this wonderful, extraordinary system of Yoga asana and philosophy. I have been teaching regularly for the past 11 years. I have also found time to make a film and write a book, and to build a sustainable straw bale house with my daughter.

2012 marks the beginning of another great journey - a workshop programme combining the teaching and practice of art-making with yoga.
