Mirella Parry - Yoga Therapist / Retreat Co-ordinator

Mirella Parry is passionate about travel and assisting others create awareness & balance in their lives.

She has 20 years extensive background in the health and fitness industry, facilitating groups in yoga, personal growth and wellbeing. She has taught various modalities of massage, bodywork and holistic therapies.

Mirella began her training with pre and post natal yoga, then moving into the stronger Ashtanga series of yoga asanas. Through her own challenging healing journey through injury, she has embraced a more wholistic approach to yoga, integrating yoga therapy and the more graceful forms of vinyasa flow and fluid power yoga.

"Much as I loved my yoga practice, it aggravated my condition. In rehabilitation, my introduction to Pilates was a true gift. I discovered I was able to safely resume my yoga pain-free, healing myself and regaining full mobility.

My love of both Yoga and Pilates led me to 'Yogalates', a fusion combining the best of both Eastern & Western disciplines. This inspired me to continue exploring different forms of Yoga Therapy in Australia, USA and India."

Classes are multi-level and provide modifications - to cater to each participants individual needs, both in personal training and within the group structure. Brining awareness to your body and mind connection, Mirella will guide you through a safe, balanced, yet dynamic yoga practice.

"I see our bodies as a temple and our practice as a movement meditation, a deep offering. I encourage you all to really listen to your body, honour it and be empowered in your yoga practice. Embrace it with a sense of joy, lightness and gratitude!"

Mirella's contagious passion to share her multi-faceted experiential journey has inspired and assisted many in their yoga, lifestyle, personal growth and healing paths. Her education and approach to yoga continually expands, evolves and deepens.

Client Testimonials

"I was lucky enough to hear from Mirella in time to book a slice of heaven for my holidays. We met up at a beautiful home retreat in The Bay and it all unfolded from there. My various food requests were willingly noted, the food was superb and the dolphins gave us day after day of their loving attention.

"Yoga was great, with Mirella being able to accomodate our different requirements and tailor to suit each of us. I was nervous about joining others for a beachside banquet but the friendship and comraderie that were offered made for a fabulously memorable night.

"I can highly recommend this holiday to anyone who loves dolphins, health awareness, the beauty of nature and who is open to revealing more of themselves to the world in a desire to grow."

—Ishka Massey, Property Developer

"My abs & pelvic floor are stronger. The Yoga focuses on using the larger muscles, while the Pilates aspect brings my attention to the internal mechanism and the unwinding of the vertebrae. I am definitely experiencing more awareness in my body.”

—Vicki, Masseuse/Counsellor

My experience is that Mirella’s classes offer means by way of meditative movement to restore, strengthen and restructure the body”

—M.B. Collis, B Ac Dip A

Mirella provides a safe, supportive and nurturing class which leaves me feeling appropriately challenged, refreshed and relaxed. Most importantly perhaps, I no longer experience the injuries I was occasionally getting in general yoga classes and I am feeling stronger. The subtleties of movement seem also to bring a profound sense of aliveness.”

—David, Business Manage
