Starting her health and fitness career after moving to Canberra in 2011, Eliane Haski worked as a dance fitness instructor and personal trainer before evolving into kinesiology, kinaesthetic healing and body work, sound healing, and yoga. The first teacher signed on when Canberra Yoga Space opened in 2014, Eliane agreed to buy the business four years later and continues to work with many of the studio’s original teachers, who are all highly skilled and dedicated to yoga in their own lives. “I love human movement and helping people feel better in their body,” she says.

What do you consider to be your key strengths?

“My key strength is my ability to connect with people. It is this that has helped create a welcoming space where everyone feels seen and heard. This natural skill helps me in my teaching and in my body work practice as I really listen and can see the bigger picture for people. I have a lot of empathy and am good at guiding people out of their comfort zone. I’m not big on enabling or excuses. We can all be more than we think we are, and our capacity for personal growth is limitless, sometimes we just need some gentle guidance. Canberra Yoga Space is a sanctuary for those seeking the benefits of yoga. We aim to maintain a space that is nurturing, safe, welcoming and, above all, sees the divine humanity in us all. My generosity of spirit enables me to run my business in alignment with my sense of ethics and yoga philosophy.”

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

“Helping people discover the joys and benefits of yoga for themselves. I can see how much it has helped me both mentally and physically and I love sharing it.”
