Founder & Senior Teacher

Welcome to BIYOME

I am Celia Roberts, a Senior yoga teacher and therapist with Yoga Australia and Meditation Australia, and among other qualifications, I have a Bio-Medical Science degree.

My education and experience combined has brought me to a place where, above all else, I believe in offering you the highest quality education. This is done through continually revisiting and reinvestigating research, resources, values, and touchstone delivery of teaching in the field of yoga, meditation, and mind-body medicine.
