Lainie Jenkins
Yoga, Reformer, Yoga Teacher Trainer
Co-Founder and principal teacher at One Family Yoga & Fitness, Lainie believes that it is important to let go of the identities that we take on in the world (Mother, Yogi, Father, Sister, accountant, etc) while on the mat. It is a time to strengthen the body from the inside out through Ayurveda (science of Life), Asana (Posture), to connect to the breath to open the body through conscious breathing (Pranayama) to calm the mind with Meditation.
Lainie teaches to the individual, she guides you gently in and out of each pose regardless of your experience with yoga so that you always feel, comfortable, confident and successful.
“Yoga for me is timeout, timeout from the busyness of motherhood, business owner and the mind. Time to self reflect on what is working for me and what is not. Time for silence in my life, for space in my mind and body, so that I can be fully present with my family and the demands of the studio when needed. Time for self .”.
Laine Jenkins is a ERYT500 GOLD teacher with Yoga Alliance and a certified Level 3 Senior teacher with Yoga Australia, she has been a devoted yoga practitioner for 17 years and teaching yoga for 14 years. Lainie’s teacher training study initiated with level 1 ISHTA System, with Rachel Zinman. The ISHTA System that Integrates the Sciences of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda for an integral practice.
In Lainie’s classes and trainings, students of all shapes and sizes find tips, tricks, and modifications to make yoga asana work for their unique body, instead of being squished into poses for the sake of form over function. She emphasises safe alignment and mindful transitions, and guides each student to honour the body they bring to the mat today, while being empowered to learn about the body’s intelligence and power to serve you on and off the mat in everyday life.
Lainie’s interest in movement began as a dancer and she was later certified as an International Les Mills Trainer and Presenter and Pilates Instructor. After 20 years in this world, these interests led her towards yoga.
Lainie has further qualifications in Ayurveda, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Kids Yoga, Teens Yoga, Pre and Post-natal Yoga.
Lainie is now lead teacher and course creator of the One Family Yoga & Fitness 200/350/500hr Yoga Teacher Trainings.

While completing her PhD in Marine Science her passion for Pilates and yoga grew, as both practices were an outlet for creativity, a time to let go and only focus on the movement and strength of the body and mind.
Christine is a certified Pilates Mat and Reformer instructor. Teaching Pilates brings her joy and she hopes to share her love of Pilates and its incredible benefits to the body and mind to the One Family Yoga and Fitness Community.

Shannon Pettigrew
Yoga Instructor
After practicing Yoga for 5 years, at the age of 51, I started Yoga Teacher Training with Lainie @ OFYF in 2019. I decided I wanted to delve deeper into my Yoga practice, both on and off the sticky mat. Yet during that training I also realised that I would enjoy teaching Yoga to others whom like me, had put it of, or never experienced how truly benefitting a regular yoga practice could be. I urge everyone to at least give it a go!
Yoga is for everyone, every body shape and size, no matter how old, stiff or bendy you think you are. I see my role as a Yoga Teacher to offer those in class, the class they need on that given day.
I look forward to seeing you on your mat!

Shannon Power
Yoga, Kids, Teen, Family Yoga Instructor
I have been practicing yoga for 5 years and teaching since 2018. I found yoga whilst healing from a car accident and in attempting to heal the body I found a beautiful way of separating from the stressors of everyday life.
I did my Yoga Teacher Training with Lainie at OFYF and fell in love with the studio and Lainie’s style of teaching to the individual in front of you.
I love meeting students that are apart of the One Family community. They are such amazing, friendly students, willing to have a giggle mid-class. I have been blessed to also teach kids (kids, tween and teen yoga classes) and family yoga classes at One Family. The kids’ classes focus on building the skills of yoga, such as balance, body awareness, teamwork and mindfulness through fun yoga games for each age group. The family classes build all of these skills with an emphasis on fun family time.
I hope to see you or your family at one of these classes!

I found my love for Reformer after having my two little ones – it’s my new found passion! Pilates goes hand in hand with my love for dancing that began when I was a child. I love helping out people with their practice and bringing a touch of the dance world into my teachings.
But my true happiness lies seeing people grow and building their strength and confidence week to week.

Sarah Fleming
Reformer Instructor
I have over 20 years of experience in fitness and coaching. I first trained in Pilates mat work in 2006 and then Reformer and Trapeze table in 2007 and the Reformer soon became my firm favourite to teach and practice.
My Pilates and PT work experience has primarily included 5 years with a Physiotherapist, 14 years at Fernwood Fitness and Pilates Reformer Studios both on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
I have always had a special interest in helping clients recover from injury and improve their posture and core strength. So it’s easy to see why I’m a strong believer in the Pilates Reformer workout. It enables your ‘powerhouse’ muscles to activate like no other exercise machine can and clearly creates balance, stability and length in the body.
In early 2018 I completed a Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy. I wanted to be able to offer clients further help with relief from pain and injury. I find that Pilates and Bowen Therapy complement each other well and so I teach my Bowen Therapy clients Pilates exercises to enhance their treatments.
I like to say that everyone should have a Reformer at home instead of a couch!
