Renee Italia (Inverloch)
It was this magical feeling that landed Renee on a quest to India where she completed her first yoga teacher training. While she never intended to teach yoga, she found herself leading friends, through practices in her lounge room.
Renee went on to deepen her studies in yoga along with Reiki, Thai Yoga Massage and as an Integrative Health Practitioner. In 2018, Renee opened her intimate home studio in Melbourne. More recently, her internal GPS has called her closer to nature, where she now lives on the Bass Coast with her husband in Inverloch.
Renee Italia was drawn to the yoga mat 10 years ago when living a high paced lifestyle, in Singapore, she gives yoga credit for bringing her back to her childlike intuitive wisdom
