About us

Julie Caracatsanoudis

Ayurvedic Consultant
I began my journey with Ayurveda in 2012 after 13 years in the secondary teaching profession & 2 years as a Quality Assurance supervisor. I was travelling in Bali searching for self healing and practising various forms of yoga when I first experienced Ayurvedic therapy which deeply fascinated me both intellectually and spiritually.
Completing my Ayurvedic training as a consultant in 2014 with Professor Jason Chandler, I learned the tools of diet, lifestyle practices, therapy as well as the use of herbs which can profoundly support the mind, body, senses and spiritual self.I experienced changes firsthand after suffering a sense of deep dissatisfaction with my life and ongoing health issues.
In 2016 - 2018 I experienced a life changing crisis with life threatening health issues of which meditation, the knowledge of Ayurveda and the support of Classical 8 limb yoga with teacher Cameron Story assisted me to overcome without psychology or western medical intervention.
I am a qualified microbiologist, experienced science teacher, TESOL trainer & assessor & Ayurvedic Consultant specialising in Ayurvedic food preparation, cleanses & vedic counselling. I will be a registered Practitioner in early 2019 after several years of dedicated study and the founder of The Holy Cow medicated ghees but above all I am a mother and grandmother which inspires me to lead my life by example and with integrity.
I take Ayurvedic consultations by skype & I teach hands on cooking workshops in the Byron Bay area which aim to self empower clients for a healthy mind & digestive system.These incorporate teaching in both western & classical recipies using the Ayurvedic principles of the six tastes & the energetic properties of food in addition to their nutrition.

Lydia Burth-Weir

Yoga Teacher
Lydia is an Anusara Elements™ & certified Hormone Yoga Teacher, Prana Healer, Abhyanga & Hot Stone Massage Therapist and mother of 3 beautiful children. Lydia received one of her first initiations into yoga in 2001. Since this time she became dedicated to the path of yoga. Her beautiful yoga journey started with Iyengar, Ashtanga, Hatha Yoga and eventually lead to Anusara Yoga in 2016. Lydia brings a lighthearted dynamic energy to her classes that are the perfect blend of philosophy, therapeutics and insightful wisdom from her own life experiences both on and off the mat. She blends the alchemy of her own practice with decades of studentship. She aspires not to teach but to allow the practice to emanate from her, letting awareness blend with breath & movement. On the mat Lydia invites her students to generate their own transformation as an artistic expression of the heart and to find their own grace and playfulness through the practice of yoga.Lydia attests to the healing power of yoga.She believes that yoga has the capacity to heal and renew body, mind and spirit. For me Yoga is a journey about connection to your self and the universe. By connecting to our journey and sharing inspiration we find a meaning of yoga. It is the Journey of the Self - the remembering that you are a Divine Being!!
