Meet the Souls of Each CONNECT Experience

OUR FACILITATORS

Our CONNECT facilitators are the soul of each experience – gifted practitioners, teachers, and space-holders who bring their unique energy, passion, and purpose into every gathering. Each facilitator is carefully chosen for their ability to guide from the heart, holding a sacred, grounded space where healing, movement, and authentic connection can unfold.
 

With deep respect for the individual journey, our facilitators honour the courage it takes to show up. They offer their gifts – whether through yoga, meditation, sound healing, energy work, or mindful movement – with humility, presence, and intention.

More than leaders, they are gentle mirrors and companions, walking alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and others in a space that feels safe, expansive, and alive.

Their presence is an invitation: to slow down, to soften, and to remember the wisdom already within you.

Jenna Swain

Jenna Swain

I have been practicing yoga for about 15 years, getting serious about my practice 5 years ago and becoming a regular at many studios around Australia as I moved for work. As a busy professional I came to yoga to bring some peace and balance into my life, now I build my life around limbs of yoga. I have completed a 250 hour yoga teacher training in the Tantric linage and 150 hours of yin training – which had a strong anatomical focus. But my first introduction to Kirtan saw me bring my love of music and singing to the practice of yoga.
