Read Phil Liney's Bio

“A committed and authentic yogi, Phil enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge. His clear and eloquent teachings weave together in a masterful way an eclectic range of traditional yoga practices. Drawing on his life experiences and expertise, Phil’s teachings are accessible and relevant. A charming and thoughtful teacher, Phil creates a supportive and nurturing environment for exploring the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of yoga. A yoga teacher myself, I benefit enormously from his elegant and sapient teachings; and am enriched by attending his workshops and retreats. I have incorporated many of the practices into my personal sadhana, as well as my classes; and find the pranayama practices particularly potent.”

Karen Nicoll (Newcastle)


“Philip is very highly regarded for the way he communicates his own depth of experience in a very clear and systematic way. He is an inspirational teacher, combining humour and support for the students to delve more deeply into their practice of yoga and especially pranayama.”

Satyaprem (Teacher Training Co-ordinator, Sydney)


“I thank Phil for opening the door of knowledge and guiding me through it with his teachings on Pranayama. Following Phil’s instructions and a dedicated daily practice, I have experienced remarkable advancements with meditation, my personal yoga practice and particularly with the subtle body energies of the chakras. Amazing!

Angela (Campbelltown Yoga)


“Phil is a truly committed practitioner and teacher, who teaches with loving compassion. I have gained much from the experience.”

Janet (yoga teacher, St Ives)


“Phil Liney introduced Hatha yoga into my life. As a Ki Yoga teacher I am well aware of the benefits of Ki Yoga but had not spent a lot of time with Hatha.  Through Phil’s gentle approach to yoga, I now enjoy the challenges of holding the poses through the breath, coupled with the meditation practices that he includes in the class. I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga retreat run by Phil.  The whole weekend was full of nurturing, nourishment and knowledge.  He has a wealth of experience which he brings to every moment when he is teaching as well as a very calm and comfortable nature which comes through in his teachings and his own practice. I look forward to attending any class that he would be teaching, as well as any future retreats.  I gain not only a beautiful practice from his classes, but, as a teacher myself, I always come away with something I can pass on to my students.”
