Brigid Costello

A yoga teacher, professional dancer, choreographer and movement director, and arts educator, Brigid’s love of teaching yoga began ten years ago in Wellington, when her Ashtanga yoga teacher asked her to cover the beginner's classes.

As a child, she joined in with her mother’s home yoga practice group during the school holidays and remembers enjoying trying out new shapes, and the quiet, peaceful time at the end of the practice. 

In 2002, at the beginning of her professional dance career, yoga became an important part of Brigid's life beyond the physical practice. The pranayama (breath work) and meditation techniques were transformative for both her dance career and her approach to life in general.

Brigid's formal yoga teaching qualifications include: 200YTT in Bali, Yin and Mindfulness Teaching Intensive in Sydney, Advanced Vinyasa Sequencing in Melbourne and most recently in 2020, an Anusara-Inspired Immersion in Bali.

Brigid’s yoga classes are an interdisciplinary blend of creative flow, detailed alignment, mindful stillness and playful exploration. She hopes that her classes will inspire you to take the practice of yoga beyond the mat and into your life, creating a healthy connection with yourself, with others and the world around you.
