  • Accessible yoga
  • Philosophy
  • Support

For over a decade I have been exploring the yogic paths, first as a passionate practitioner and, for the past couple of years, also as a dedicated teacher.

Read full profile

I am versed in teaching varied classes to both adults and children. No matter who or what I am teaching, I bring a person-centred approach, as it is of utmost importance to me that yoga feels accessible to students of varied experience. This approach is largely shaped by my background in support work.

My education also includes two philosophy degrees, as I have spent my lifetime hungry for knowledge and truth. In my classes you can expect yogic wisdom to be woven throughout. The metaphysical and ethical philosophies of yoga have served as a practical guideline throughout my life, and I live my values aligned with these.

When I am not teaching, you might find me at the gym, crafting, exploring, gardening, studying or thrifting.

Ryko Heart

  • Reiki
  • Shamanic healing
  • Sound healing

Ryko Heart is a bridge-walker, a healer who carries the whispers of ancient mountains, island winds and ancestral pathways into the modern world. Born on the emerald shores of Mauritius, Ryko’s spirit was shaped by the rhythmic crossing of cultures and prayers: Buddhist chants, Christian hymns, Islamic callings, Hindu offerings and the silent teachings of earth and sky. From childhood, he learned that spirit speaks many languages, and he listened to them all.

Read full profile

His lineage stretches across oceans to the Mosuo and Hakka peoples of southwest China, nomadic lineages woven with resilience, story and profound earth connection. Through his Mosuo matrilineal heritage, Ryko carries a deep current of feminine nurturing energy, the intuitive strength of mothers and grandmothers who guided generations with compassion, patience and inner fire. This ancestral softness and strength flow through every healing he offers.

Ryko’s path deepened upon arriving in Australia. Under Kevin Rain, he trained in shamanic practice, learning to walk with the spirits of the land, to feel the pulse beneath the soil and to honour the ancient guardians of place. With Lucy Little Moon Price, following the lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui, he mastered the gentle but powerful art of Reiki, channelling light through the body’s subtle currents, restoring harmony, clarity and inner stillness. Sound healing entered his path as a natural evolution, where bowls, drums and voice awaken ancestral memory and dissolve what the heart is ready to release.

Ryko carries a presence that is both joyful and grounded, soft yet unwavering. Clients describe him as a lantern in shadow, a steady river, a holder of safe and sacred space. He moves with quiet integrity, a gentle stoicism and a heart wide open.

Aayushi Mishra

My path with yoga began uniquely early. I started practising at just four years old, allowing the discipline to shape my childhood and eventually my life’s work. By 17, I had transitioned from student to teacher, driven by a spirit of service.

To provide my students with a truly world-class experience, I have completed multiple teacher training courses in Hatha and Vinyasa across renowned schools, integrating the most effective techniques from each tradition.

Beyond the physical postures, I have dedicated years to the study of traditional yoga philosophy alongside the physical aspects of yoga. This academic and spiritual foundation informs my belief that yoga is the union of spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing. It is not merely exercise, but a holistic lifestyle that fosters internal harmony.

As lead yoga instructor at Sun & Sage, I specialise in Hatha yoga, focusing on mindful alignment and breath-centred movement. My teaching is professional yet deeply heartwarming, designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Strength in every body

My approach is rooted in the belief that yoga is for every body. It does not matter if you are four or 84, a seasoned athlete or someone who has never touched a yoga mat. My mission is to make you feel strong, confident and entirely comfortable in your own skin.

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all practice. I focus on your unique strengths, helping you navigate limitations with grace in a judgement-free space.

What to expect in training

  • Authentic information: theory-based teaching, Sanskrit foundations and spiritual insight drawn from years of study.
  • The real side of yoga: transparent lessons from lived teaching experience, including mistakes and growth.
  • Precision and care: prompt, clear cues, hands-on adjustments and variations for specific physical needs or injuries.
  • Professional responsibility: ethics, professionalism and the responsibility of holding space for another person’s wellbeing.
