The teachers so generous, knowledgeable and inspiring. Even though I never had the intention to teach, I’m now entertaining the idea and I feel fully equipped to do so.”

Gertrude Street Yoga Studio is a place to explore, elevate, and expand your yoga practice, on and off the mat. The studio was founded in 1997 and is an urban centre for yoga, wellness, and community. Our vision is to cultivate a community that values yoga as a holistic practice, which begins on the mat and expands into everyday life. Rather than teaching from a specific lineage, we have created a diverse and varied curriculum, that allows our teachers to provide instruction on topics and areas that they are truly passionate about.

Faculty

Hannah Campos

Hannah practices and teaches movement for the purpose of finding freedom, comfort, and ease in the body. Her own experience of discomfort and instability in her body while pregnant and postpartum led to a dramatic overhaul in her approach to movement. She has a passion for functional movement, engaged and inspired alignment, and using asana as a gateway to the deeper, more subtle practices of yoga.

 

Motherhood is one of the primary laboratories for her practice. Every day she is challenged to take her yoga off the mat and put it into action as she strives to parent consciously and gently.

 

Hannah is a co-owner of Gertrude Street Yoga alongside her husband Jaspah. She offers classes on the weekly timetable, and is the lead teacher for the 200 hour training.

Jaspah Marques

Jaspah first discovered yoga and meditation in 2005 as a way of managing the demands of his corporate job. Over the following years, Jaspah’s journey with yoga and meditation deepened as he experimented with various styles from a range of lineages and traditions.

In 2013, after living in Canada, Jaspah undertook his Yoga Teacher Training in Mexico where he met the woman who is now his wife and yogi partner in life. Together Jaspah and his wife Hannah own and run Gertrude Street Yoga Studio in Melbourne, Australia.

Jaspah has studied and practiced various styles of yoga, meditation and coaching across North America, Australia, and Asia. He enjoys variety in his practice and works to utilise a range of techniques to help his students find an approach that suits their specific needs and style.

Ana Uribe

From a very young age, Ana started to ask herself and others questions that turn her into a quest inside her body. Since then, she has spent the last 18 years seeking her own personal healing through yoga, earth base wisdom and human connection. Throughout this time, she has spent traveling the world, learning from other cultures, exploring different tools and ancient techniques to tap into her own personal power and since then she has been in a mission to share these with people. In the last years she has dedicated herself to design and facilitate classes,
programs, and retreats for people of all of sorts of backgrounds,
and she is also part of our Teacher Training Faculty.

 

Ana believes is everyone’s birthright to access these tools so she is dedicated to sharing them with people specially from Youth justice, youth homelessness and young girls as well as yoga studios and centres nationally and internationally. Whether she is sharing through words, movement or the space in between them, her mission is to meet people exactly where they are, share the power that comes from going inside their bodies, and watch what unravels.

 

On the 200 hour training Ana offers sessions on Meditation, Pranayama (breathwork), Trauma informed Yoga, and Yamas and Niyamas. She also offers support during the final mentoring and teaching aspects of the course.
