Justin Bannister

Justin is a musician spending his time playing in bands as well as teaching and supporting the Humane Yoga studio. Justin is a bit of a science geek and blends his knowledge of music with science to educate, inspire and activate peoples’ passion for their health and wellness journey.

When playing any music, especially sound bowls, Justin’s focus is always on Intention as it creates reality. His goal is for everyone to leave their sound bowl experience with calm awareness. Justin has a very happy and relaxing demeanour which helps him create a safe place to come and enjoy a Qi Gong, or Live Sound session. Whatever is occupying your life and mind, experiencing a session with Justin is sure to bring joy into your day.

Maxime Willems

Maxime started her journey as a Yoga Practitioner in the jungle of South America after finishing her Master of Education in Europe, which had left her overwhelmed and restless. After beginning yoga, her energy levels increased, her daily mood changed for the better and from then on, she knew that she would never let go of the practice. In 2020, Maxime completed her Certificate IV in Yoga Teaching at Byron Yoga Centre and began combining her position as a Yoga Teacher with a NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner role.

Maxime is passionate about integrating meridian-based yoga therapy teachings into her classes to bring body and mind back into balance through targeted therapy movements, breathing exercises and powerful meditations. She aims to leave her students feeling empowered and support them in making their own decisions, both on the mat and in daily life, in line with their unique personal needs, health and wellbeing. 

Styles: Tantric Hatha Yoga, Trauma & Depression Informed Yoga

Vibe: Empowerment, Educational, Supportive

 
 

Toby

Humane's resident support dog. You'll often find him quietly nearby during classes and circles, offering the kind of calm only a dog can bring.

Toby is always with Robyn in the studio. If you have allergies, or feel unsure around dogs, please let us know before you book so we can talk it through together.

Vibe: Fun, Sweet, Loving
