"Tall trees, warm fires, strong winds, deep waters.
I can feel it in my body, I can feel it in my soul."

Nature - Connection - Play
Giinagay and namaste! I am Ilka and my small yoga studio is called Tall Trees Yoga. Tall Trees Yoga is located in Hyland Park on the beautiful Mid-North Coast of NSW on Gumbaynggirr Jagun nestled under some impressive tall trees. Here I passionately share my love for yoga, kirtan, bodywork as well as shamanic healing. I am a qualified senior yoga teacher with 14 years of teaching experience. I also hold a Masters Degree in Vocational and Tertiary Education. Through my playful nature I will help you connect with your inner child and most likely we will have some giggles together.
I am glad you're here and maybe you will become a part of my creation story. To find out more about me follow this link:
Please check out my current weekly classes:
I currently have mats available for Yin Yoga on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Hyland Park. Please reach out if you would like to join.
Thursday's chanting is currently on hold until we have found a new location. More info coming soon ♡

What others say about my classes:
"Your Sunday class is the highlight of my week."
"This class is exceptional! What a wonderful way to start your Sunday."
"Best teacher and preparation yet."
"Ilka was an amazing teacher. She created a safe environment for the students level. I absolutely loved this course and would recommend it to anyone, no matter what their yoga experience."
"Thoughtfully prepared for all ages, abilities, experience and interest. Highly recommended and should be included in the next Camp Creative."
Finding your Ikigai
I am excited to share the fascinating Japanese concept of Ikigai with you.
Ikigai roughly translates to "Reason for Being". In this workshop we will explore what your Ikigai looks like by placing a lens on the various aspects of the Ikigai. We will identify what you love, your talents, what our community needs more of as well as potential options on how to generate an income. You will leave feeling inspired and more clear on how to take the next step in your life, your field of interest or in your business venture. I am looking forward to creating with you.
