Established in 2002, the Hawthorn Malvern Yoga Centre (HMYC) was founded by husband and wife team – Shimon Tchobutaru & Jacqueline Brumley. Devoted to a life of yoga, they have over 60 years of collective experience and have been sharing their passion for yoga with HMYC students for over a decade. Both have extensive teacher training and certification with a diverse range of yoga styles and have travelled to Europe and India to undertake formal study with the masters.

HMYC teach a dynamic method of Hatha Yoga with the Iyengar precision. Encouraging postural alignment, balanced muscular action along with steadiness of mind, thus developing effort, intelligence and accuracy. Emphasise is on integrating the many aspects of ourselves - physical, mental and spiritual. Students can expect to experience increased strength and flexibility, mental clam and wellbeing, whilst learning in a friendly and welcoming environment.

All of the Yoga classes at the Hawthorn Malvern Yoga Centre offer a systematic and progressive approach at the appropriate level. All classes are carefully structured so that students learn how to practise properly and progress in an effective way. Students can attend casually or take our 5 or 10 Week course. Students can move between courses within their level throughout the Term.

Testimonials

I began yoga at HMYC 5 years ago and under the experienced guidance of Jacqui and Shimon I have seen my yoga practice mature and continue to grow. Yoga has brought me closer to myself, improved my general well-being and supported my body through injury and illness. I love the well-rounded practice offered at HMYC through the balance of asana, with a focus on postural alignment, alongside pranayama and mediation and their accessibility through the use of props. It is also non-competitive and fun and I highly recommend HMYC to anyone thinking about starting their own yoga practice.

'I was nearly 55 years old when my friend Rod introduced me to the world of Yoga. To me it felt as if I were dancing in slow motion and I immediately fell in love with it all. A few months later I enrolled myself at the Hawthorn Yoga Centre. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. That was three and a half years ago now and I haven't looked back since. The environment at HMYC was so friendly, encouraging, supportive and non-competitive that I felt completely at ease and I rapidly built my practice from 1 to 3 times a week. I now enjoy such a greater sense of well being, physically, mentally and emotionally, that I know I will keep up my practice till the end of my days. I will always remain a grateful and devoted student to my excellent teachers without whom HMYC wouldn't exist at all. Thank you Jacqui & Shimon for giving me the life-giving gift of Yoga.'

- ANNETTE GROSS

I have been practicing yoga for 20 years, 15 of those years with Jacqui and Shimon. I have found them to be totally dedicated to the yogic lifestyle and teaching.

They both have excellent technical knowledge in all aspects of yoga and are able to impart that to their students.

Both Jacqui and Shimon are caring and bring humor to their classes.

With their guidance yoga has become an important part of my life enhancing my health and wellbeing.
