Tanaya Ti'en About the Founder

Tanaya is an accredited Yoga Therapist, Senior Yoga Teacher, and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coach.

Founder of Mind Body Collective Australia, and Advisory Member of the Australasian Association of Yoga Therapists (AAYT), in partnership with AUSactive, Tanaya’s work is centred around the mind-body connection and the psyche’s key role in illness, wellness, and the healing process.

With experience spanning over three decades in mind-body research and practice, including extensive studies in India, Spain, Indonesia, the UK, and Australia, Tanaya’s philosophy is that the path of yoga can be transformational for everyone, regardless of physical capacity, age, or religion.

Drawing from a diverse background in both Eastern and Western mind-body disciplines, Tanaya trained as an actor and performance artist at Melbourne’s VCA and the Victorian University of Technology. It was amidst this intensive training in the 90’s that she first explored the body’s ability to express and indeed, repress its truth. Gaining insights into how the mediums of prose, movement and sound could combine with yoga as a powerful pathway to healing the mind and body, her work today seeks to bring yoga’s ancient science to light in the context of the modern world.

Guided by the insights of Taoist, Buddhist, and yogic philosophies, Tanaya has studied under an array of esteemed mentors across diverse traditions. Drawing inspiration from the Kriya Yoga lineage in particular, and the teachings of luminaries including Swami Kriyananda, Asha Nayaswami, Ajahn Brahm, Bernie Clarke, Dr. Vasant Lad, and Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, Tanaya's work is deeply rooted in reverence for the transformative wisdom passed down by these teachers.
