No Prior Yoga Experience Needed

Our beginner program is designed specifically for people who have little to no yoga experience, or yogis that may not have practiced for a long period of time. This program is to help establish awareness in the body and understand how to move your body in and out of yoga poses in a safe and controlled environment. Build a consistent and lasting practice that will help to increase mobility and strength with easeful postures designed to bring vitality and energy into your life.

Experience and flexibility are developed overtime and are not necessary to join our beginners yoga program. All you need is the desire to start, comfy clothes and a yoga mat.

Strengthen Your Foundations

This program is an offering to acknowledge the importance of why we are utilising these tools and technologies so that we have the awareness to observe all sensations that showcase themselves.

Our aim is to give you the guidance to create a lasting practice so you can dismantle and dissolve structures that cause disharmony in the body and mind.

Whether you are new to yoga or a practiced yogi, this program will support your journey by deepening your awareness and understanding.

Unwind From The Stresses of Life

We seek to share and service the collective through the ancient tools and wisdom of yoga, constantly teaching and sharing inspiring holistic ways to enhance one’s life, both on and off the mat. Our mission is to evolve the body and mind. Start your self care ritual and make yoga a lasting habit.

Increase Strength & Flexibility

Our skillful teachers carefully craft their classes to help guide a student’s physical experience so that every time they step on the mat they are receiving deep anatomical benefits. Our students report that they feel stronger and more capable in their bodies with consistent practice and because of that they are dedicated to showing up for the deep healing and restoring qualities received. Flexibility is something that is developed and not required to participate in a yoga room, especially ours.

Explore Our Brookvale Studio

Let us welcome you personally to this space. We want to connect with you and share the many ways to make the most of your practice and the community around you.

Hear From Another Beginner

I am a 47 year old tradie/ex-rugby player and I have put my body through hell by not stretching or maintaining my flexibility.

I was looking for a yoga studio that I could feel comfortable going to without feeling judged, pressured or inadequate. My niece told me about D-F studio and that I should give it a go. I can't really put into words how much I love going to D-F studio. It has such a fantastic vibe and I feel truly valued by all the instructors. They really care about my personal practice and give me things to do at home to get more benefit out of it.

I also bring my 17 year old daughter who is in year 11, Eliza has really taken an interest in her and is a fantastic mentor and role model for her. I now feel happier, more flexible and relaxed thanks to the Divine Flow team and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about giving yoga a go, to come to D-F studio… you won't regret it!

She offers a gentle, embodied approach to every yoga class— including asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy — guiding students to explore presence, ease and awareness within their own body, mind and spirit.

Her work as a somatic practitioner naturally flows into her teaching. Drawing on private clinic healing sessions, Radha helps students tune into their bodies and individual needs bringing a compassionate and responsive energy to every class.

Through her life as a mother, mentor, and lifelong student of yoga, self‑study, and spiritual growth, Radha brings warmth, curiosity, and presence to her teaching. She encourages students to move mindfully, feel fully, and connect with their own inner strength, creating a safe and welcoming space for exploration and growth.

Elise Griffin

Vinyasa | Strength + Soul

With over 17 years of personal yoga practice and a strong background in the fitness and wellness industry, Elise brings a depth of experience, intelligence, and embodied understanding to her teaching. With a Bachelor’s degree in Sport & Exercise Science and more than a decade working as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and movement coach, Elise bridges the gap between strength, mobility, and mindful movement.

Elise discovered yoga as a powerful complement to her athletic training, and over time it became a central pillar in how she moves, lives, and connects. Her approach is informed by both science and lived experience, blending functional strength, breath awareness, and fluid sequencing. Her classes invite students to feel strong, capable, and supported – meeting their edge with curiosity rather than force.

Elise is deeply passionate about the way yoga supports not only physical health, but nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and connection. Her classes offer a space that encourages students to build trust in their bodies and confidence in their practice.

Above all, Elise is committed to creating a welcoming environment where students can deepen their relationship with movement and carry the benefits of their practice beyond the mat and into everyday life.
