With over a decade of experience in yoga education and facilitation, Sandey is dedicated to inspiring and empowering aspiring teachers to deepen their practice, refine their teaching skills, and, most importantly, realize their innate potential. Sandey’s own journey into yoga and the healing arts was born from a desire to break free from her own patterns of past conditioning, fuelling her dedication to healing and growth.
Her journey began with a 200-hour Hot Yoga Teacher Training in Wellington, New Zealand, with her beloved teachers Claire Szabo Costello and Lou Costello, specialising in The Barkan Method. This ignited her lifelong love for yoga teaching and education.

Sandey has also trained with Janet Stone specialised programs in Mantra and Mindfulness based Stillness Meditation training with The Gawler Centre in Melbourne.
In addition to her yoga training, Sandey has extensive experience as a bodyworker in both sports and recreational settings, which informs her holistic approach to movement, healing, and spirituality. In 2021, she obtained a Certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, broadening her understanding in the area of somatics and trauma. She further deepened her expertise in this area with a 300-hour Trauma-Informed Facilitation Training completed in September 2024 with SomaPsych.
Currently, Sandey works in the sensitive claims area, applying her trauma-informed skills to support the well-being of individuals dealing with trauma. Her diverse background in bodywork, yoga, and trauma therapy allows her to guide students and clients through meaningful transformational journeys with compassion, understanding, and care.

For Fiona, “The on-going self-inquiry of yoga allows me to look deep inside and be clear of what I need on and off the mat. Yoga helps me open to life’s limitless opportunities, live with a more open mind and an open heart, soften and relax into whatever is arising in the moment.”
