Tash has spent over a decade in the wellness industry and has worked just about every corner of it. She started out on the Devon coast teaching Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow and Rocket, alongside SUP yoga out on the estuary, because if there’s a way to make a practice more playful she will find it. She went on to co-own Easy Tiger, an award-nominated yoga, breathwork and meditation studio in the heart of the City of London, then spent time in Japan running a high-performance yoga and fitness hub in Niseko. These days she’s based in Brisbane as Group Fitness Director at Function Well, one of Australia’s most respected wellness hubs, where she leads the coaching team and still teaches every week.

What you can expect on her mat: strong, intelligently built sequencing that actually goes somewhere. Clear cueing you can follow without craning your neck to check. A real reason behind every shape, rather than because it photographs well. She teaches mobility the way a coach does, with attention to joints, range and recovery, and she teaches flow the way a yogi does, with breath leading the movement. Expect good music, a proper sweat, and full permission to laugh. There’s no reverent hush in a Tash class, which is exactly why people who were sure yoga wasn’t for them tend to stay.

She’s also unfashionably devoted to the basics. In an industry obsessed with tracking, hacking and optimising, Tash will ask about your sleep long before she asks about your handstand. She has little patience for wellness that turns into another thing to win at, and that steadiness is what makes her such a safe pair of hands on retreat. Nothing to prove, nothing to perform, just good work done well.

By the time we land in Bali she’ll be a certified PRANABEAT Method breathwork facilitator, currently deep in the training. Two facilitators, one method, two very different sets of hands.

“Call me old fashioned, but wellness shouldn’t feel like another job.”
