Brigit Cogrossi
Brigit Cogrossi has a passionate fascination with health, healing and well-being since the 80′s. Her interest in human bio-mechanics, anatomy, dance, fitness, the natural world, and how the body heals led her to start teaching fitness & stretch classes at the age of 18.
After some injuries, Brigit discovered the healing powers of massage therapy and rehabilitation through movement, breathing and stretching. In 1989 she became licensed as a Registered Massage Therapist.
After 30 years of practicing yoga and 12 years of teaching, Brigit feels the benefits of her yoga practice: clarity, gratitude, focus, strength, flexibility, compassion, ability to heal, greater mobility and comfort in her own skin, allows her to flow a little freer through whatever life brings. This is her ultimate passion to share with others. Using the practice, Brigit has learned shining the light of Awareness into the sensations of the physical body and mind fosters the connection to your True Wisdom.
Brigit is grateful for her teachers, from her earliest Iyvengar training, to Hatha Yoga, Anusara with Desiree Rambaugh and Martin Kirk, to completing her 300RYT with Tracey Rich & Ganga White at White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, following 200RYT in pranayama & meditation,the following year. The most recent teacher she has been drawn to is Natalie Rousseau of Living Yoga. Natalie shares her amazing amount of wisdom in the subtle practises, meditation, Ayurvedic Science and mythology. In June 2016, Brigit completed another 200hr Advanced Training Intensive: Skill in Action, in Victoria with Natalie.

TOMMY MONNIER,
As long as Tommy can remember he has been interested in what makes us tick, at the age of 14 he took the Phycology book " nature vs nurture" out of the library. Since then he's been exploring within the fields of Biology, Phycology and Spirituality.
Tommy was introduced to the physical aspects of yoga for stretching and strengthening around 20yrs ago in a climbing gym in the UK.. It would be 10 yrs. later that Tommy attended his first class, which was with Brigit of In Touch Therapeutics. This was during a time of heightened stress and busyness, when searching for Balance he found a silent meditation retreat which he experienced a profound "Pranic Healing" that changed the direction of Life in a flash. After recently completing his YTT 200 in Feb 2023 at Yoga By The Sea Tommy feels Blessed to be able to offer a path to ease and inner peace to his fellow travellers. He was inspired to do this training after taking a class called Soul Stir, it lived up to its name.
Tommy quotes " What I found in yoga was a path to connect to the Big Stable Self"
" Yoga is a journey of the self through the self " ( Bhagavad Gita)
