MOKSHA
Moksha has been practising yoga for more than 25 years. Moksha started the practice looking for a way to heal his shoulder from a snow boarding injury and it slowly became a part of his life. He started his practice at the Gold Coast Yoga Centre with Mark Togni and loved the discipline of Ashtanga Yoga. He then traveled to Byron to study with Dena Kingsberg and embarked on a TT with her. He then traveled to India to practice with Pattabhi Jois.
He returned to Perth in 2003 and started working on his vision to create a sacred space for anyone seeking to learn and deepen their practice in a warm, open and accepting space.
In 2005 Yoga Om was born, starting as an Ashtanga Studio, it has now expanded to offering Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Pranayama, Meditation, Workshops, Retreats and Teachers Training.
Yoga has created more space in my everyday life. The practice of Asana, Pranayama and Meditation has created strength and balance in body, mind and spirit. I feel stronger and so much better, mentally and physically than I did in my twenties.
Apart from Yoga, Moksha loves being in the ocean, he is a passionate Kite Surfer, Musician and loves spending time nurturing the garden.
Class Schedule - Mysore - Weekday mornings; Tuesday 9:30am and Saturday 8am - Ashtanga Led
PUJA
Born and raised in Calcutta, India, Yoga was always an integral part of Puja’s family and culture. From memories of her mother praying, chanting and practicing Pranayama, the many aspects of Yoga have had a profound effect on Puja’s life. In 2000 Puja met Moksha and was introduced to the Ashtanga system, which she embraced immediately. She completed her teachers training with Moksha, has travelled to Mysore to study with Sharath and returns regularly with her family to Goa, India, to practice under the instruction and guidance of Rolf and Marci Naujokat. Taking the opportunity to do workshops with some of the most amazing Yogis; Paddy McGrath, Simon Borg Olivier, Tiffany Cruikshank and Mark Robberds, has been some of the most rewarding experiences on this path.
Although regular practice has often been challenged by her role as a mother to three beautiful boys, Puja always returns to her mat with love, compassion and humility. Puja’s teaching style is strongly influenced by her compassion for integrating the challenges and rewards of life off the yoga mat, such as being a busy mum, onto the yoga mat.
Puja is a certified kids yoga teacher and is passionate about healing the body naturally with homeopathy and nutrition. Like the practice of yoga, she feels beautiful food allows the body to be respected, treated and loved, for the temple that it is.
I’m thankful to all the teachers and students past and present I have had the honour to meet and work with.
Class Schedule - Monday - 6pm Hatha; Tuesday - 6:30pm Yin

SANNA ANSALDO
Sanna Ansaldo is a Swedish-Italian yoga teacher, and movement enthusiast based in Boorloo (Perth). With over a decade of dedicated practice and years of teaching across Europe, Hawaii, Southeast Asia and Australia, she brings a grounded yet expressive energy to her classes.
Rooted in yoga since 2013, Sanna’s journey began as a physical outlet and has since evolved into a lifelong path of self-discovery and reconnection. As the Bhagavad Gitasays, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self”—a quote that continues to guide her teaching and practice.
Influenced by Ashtanga and Rocket yoga, her classes balance structure with spontaneity, discipline with play. Sanna invites students to move with curiosity, meet themselves with honesty, and explore the body as a landscape of sensation, strength, and self-trust. For her, movement is not about performance — it’s about presence.
Now based in WA, Sanna offers classes that honour breath, embodiment, and the stories we carry, creating space for inner inquiry through movement.
Class Schedule - Wednesday 6pm Vinyasa Intermediate
