The Hot Dog Yoga Team

As a former dancer, yoga was a natural progression for Jeremin in the physical sense. As with every great love story, she discovered so much more on a mental, emotional and spiritual level and…as a way of life. This has kept her firmly committed to her practice and led her to complete a 500hr Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching with the Australian Yoga Academy in Melbourne in 2011. Since then she has continued to learn from yogis around the world.

Inspired by creative playfulness, Jeremin encourages students to be present, and to keep their hearts open, wild and free. Her classes focus on breath awareness to create dynamic and mindful flows with an emphasis on strength development, flexibility and core stability.

The opening of Hot Dog Yoga is Jeremin’s way of spreading her deep love for the practice, and she is thrilled to provide a space for all to share their passion for dogs, downward facing dogs and hot yoga.

Bianca’s fluid teaching style is strong yet paced, emphasising cueing alignment and energetics. Each practice with her is an opportunity to sensitise to the body’s intuitive calls — to pay attention to all the metaphors, contradictions, and non-linear truths that yoga has to share with each breath and every movement.

“I developed a dedicated yoga practice in pursuit of regaining health after an autoimmune attack, losing my kidney function. This drastically changed my life. It didn’t take much time to realise what a powerful addition yoga is alongside modern medicine in regaining and maintaining physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. I credit my teachers, near and far, for the depth of knowledge and wisdom they’ve shared. It’s an honour to share this practice through my lens.”

Since gaining her yoga teaching certification with Sydney’s BodyMindLife, Bianca has deepened her offering as a Vinyasa and Yin Yoga teacher with extended training in Krama Vinyasa sequencing, Alignment & Assists, Yoga Philosophy, Yoga as therapeutics and ZenThai BodyWork.

Ciara started teaching yoga in 2017. She has since completed numerous trainings around the world - mostly vinyasa and yin. Teaching brings her so much joy, and she hopes she can pass that on to anyone attending a class. Ciara enjoys creative and intelligent sequencing to allow yogis to flow and move in safe and enjoyable ways. Her classes will always include some pranayama and form of meditation as she believes that along with asana, these are the keys to finding that sweet connection with self.

Ella first discovered yoga in her twenties while studying to be an actor. Working with movement and human energetics in her capacity as a performer and acting tutor for over a decade, yoga was an integral part of her arts practice and a way to manage stress and anxiety. With a desire to dig deeper into this ancient methodology, its benefits and applications, she completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher training with BodyMindLife here in Sydney. Ella has since gone on to complete a further 650 hours of trainings with teachers including Tara Judelle, Mel McLaughlin, Noelle Connolly, Rachael Coopes, and Duncan Parviainen.

Ella believes movement and breath are gateways to personal transformation. She offers a strong alignment based practice coupled with smart sequencing designed to challenge, support and empower you on, and ultimately off, the mat.

Kim comes to her classes with a passion to help her students achieve individual empowerment, liberty and personal exploration and development in body and mind.

One of her first introductions to the yoga practice was as picturesque as they come; on the rooftop of a small hostel while visiting the Taj Mahal in the Indian city of Agra. From then on the yoga practice became an integral and constant in her day-to-day. Understanding the beauty, power and releasing nature of the practice, each class is designed with a goal to help students find a little extra magic, connection, empowerment and happiness both on and off their mat.

Marc started his practice after searching for alternative fitness modalities following a knee injury that affected his running routine. After a few years of attending classes, he enrolled in the 200hour Teacher Training at Body Mind Life, which not only deepened his practice but also changed his entire perspective on Yoga.

Whether it’s the embodiment of the physical practice, or the stillness of breath and meditation, at the end of the day it’s how Yoga makes people feel that makes it a lifelong journey. At the moment, arm balances and inversions hold a special place on the mat in Marc’s personal practice. However, back bending (his nemesis) seems to be slowly getting more attention.

Off the mat, Marc is a foodie on all fronts and eats with his eyes first!

A health and fitness journalist turned yoga teacher, Sam first turned to yoga as a chance to remedy the aches and pains accrued from a desk bound job. However, once she began practising regularly, she noticed how much her body craved the physical release and was instantly hooked. Not long into her journey, she experienced a devastating career setback and it was during this time she experienced her ‘true awakening’ to yoga. A kind offer to practise at a studio with a respected teacher came and it was then that she discovered the soul soothing, mind nourishing nature of yoga.

Through yoga, she found solace, space and herself. Physically, it allowed freedom of breath, of mind, of body. As a former dancer, she loved the creativity of sequencing, flow of movement with music and the ability to hone in to flexibility and edge deeper into poses. Mentally, she gained acceptance and self-worth, the spiritual and philosophical teachings allowing a broadening of the mind and evolving into a wholehearted way of living and being. After five years of soul searching and devoted practise in Sydney and London, she followed her heart to India, where she gained her 200hr YTT at Ashiyana Yoga Retreat Village in Goa under the guidance of a respected UK teacher.

Now Sam is passionate about supporting others to live a soulful, compassionate and contented life through yoga. Sam’s classes focus on slow mindful movement with breath, heartfelt intention, feel good flows, strength building and balance work, along with a touch of philosophy and positive psychology.

Yoga has been a constant in Sophie’s life, providing a way to calm her busy mind and connect to the present. As someone who loves movement but often struggles to slow down, yoga became a bridge connecting her mind, body, and breath. It has strengthened Sophie’s appreciation for her physical and spiritual self.

When Sophie moved to Australia, yoga helped her stay centred. It also fostered meaningful connections and allowed her to find her community in unfamiliar places. Over time, Sophie realised she wanted to share the joy and transformative power of yoga with others and give back to this incredible community. Her training is rooted in Ashtanga, infused with a modern, playful twist and opportunities for deeper exploration of poses.

Sophie aims to create a welcoming environment where students can grow, experiment and embrace their own yoga journey.

Originally from Thailand, Thana was exposed to yoga from a young age but didn’t quite understand why yogis put their body into weird shapes and torture themselves!

In 2013, he chanced upon Bikram Yoga and knew straight away after stepping out from the very first class that he wanted to do that for the rest of his life. He also discovered Vipassana Meditation which had a big impact and completely transformed him to a better version of himself.

With 800+ hours of teacher training, he has been fortunate to learn from beloved teachers such as Maty Ezraty, Shiva Rea, Noelle Connelly, Simon Park, Kat Clayton and Jo Phee.

Thana’s classes are guided from his passionate heart. They are creative, light-hearted, have a carefully curated playlist and a great balance of effort and rest allowing them to be mindful. He also merges the asana practice with a touch of philosophy. Experienced in Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Myo-yin & Meditation, Thana’s style is a Vinyasa “Rhythmic Flow” – a slow steady pace to create strength and move with grace.

Originally from Denmark, Caroline’s first formal training began only a few months after joining her first yoga class back in 2017 with Les Mills bodyflow — a blend of yoga, tai chi, and pilates, which further sparked her love for embodied movement and energetic flow. Not long after, she felt a deeper call and in 2018, at the age of 19, she travelled alone to Rishikesh, India and completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Shiva Yoga Peeth.

Since then, she has been teaching both online and in-person, and later refining her skills through Certificate IV and Diploma-level studies in yoga here in Australia - the country she has always known as the home of her soul.

Caroline teaches from a place of presence, offering a gentle structure with intuitive flow, encouraging curiosity and embodiment. Her classes honour yoga's deep spiritual roots by weaving in ancient stories that we can use to enhance our modern everyday lives, whilst holding space for your individual experience.

Jacqueline completed her first teacher training in Mysore, India in Ashtanga yoga. She loves fusing her passion of Ashtanga yoga with a slow, soul flowing Vinyasa style as she strongly believes in slowing down and getting back to basics and more importantly the breath.

Jacqueline fell in love with the “feeling" of yoga 10 years ago and strives to share her passion and love of yoga with others of all ages, abilities and levels to help people connect back to their bodies, through their breath and the universal power within.

Yoga had always existed on the periphery of Nate’s life. He used to roll out his mat at home and follow along with YouTube videos, dipping in and out of the practice. It wasn’t until Nate moved to a small mountain town in British Columbia that yoga truly became a part of his everyday life.

Initially, Nate turned to yoga to build strength and prevent injury in preparation for his first ski season. But what he found was far beyond what he expected. Nate began to experience profound physical benefits—healing old injuries, restoring mobility, stabilising his joints, and creating balance between the hemispheres of his body. Alongside the physical shifts, he noticed a deeper transformation: reduced stress, greater mental clarity, and a stronger sense of self-awareness. Yoga began to influence not just how Nate moved, but how he lived and related to the world around him.

When Nate returned to Australia, he felt called to deepen his understanding and completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at BodyMindLife, followed by Yin Yoga training with Persia Juliet. Now, he teaches with the intention of sharing these deeper benefits—supporting others to reconnect with themselves, reduce stress, and find clarity in their lives. Nate’s hope is that by helping others feel more at ease in their bodies and minds, their purpose can be realigned and they can live more authentically, creating a ripple effect of compassion and balance that extends far beyond the mat.

Rachel has been practising yoga since she was a teenager. It was the natural next step as she always had a love for movement coming from a dance background. For her, yoga is all about coming back to your natural state, dropping out of your mind, and into the intelligence of your body. This idea is at the heart of her classes and personal practice. Rachel uses slow, strong and juicy sequences to create a moving meditation.

She has trained with the likes of Shiva Rae, Noelle Connelly, Kat Clayton, Lara Zilibowitz and Brooke Elliston.
