Haydie Osborne
Haydie Osborne-Hitchens is a certified IYTA teacher with a diploma of yoga teaching. She has been teaching yoga for the past ten years in Melbourne and Brisbane. Haydie has been practicing yoga since the age of 20 and comes from a family of "Yogis". Haydie is also a Naturopath with special emphasis on fertility, preconception, healthy pregnancy, children's health and women's hormonal health. She conducts workshops on wholistic nutrition, health for pregnant mums and feeding and introducing solids to babies. She herself is a mother of 2 spirit-filled children. Haydie feels that we as women share very similar experiences. And it is through sharing these experiences and connecting with other women that we learn to trust our own wisdom and our innate impulse for mothering 'just right'. It is through others, especially women that we can receive support for nurturing our children and raising them in 'love'.

Kat Richter

Kat has been with Yogababy since 2005, first as a student and now teaching Fertility, Pregnancy and Mummy & Me Yoga classes. The journey to motherhood doesn't come easily to most women, and it gives Kat immense pleasure to be able to help support women and their babies along the way through all the transitions - from trying to get pregnant through pregnancy and beyond.

She is a certified Yoga teacher (Yoga Australia / YTAA registered) and is also certified in Shiatsu, a gentle Japanese massage technique using the body's meridian lines, related to acupuncture. Shiatsu and Yoga blend beautifully and Kat likes incorporating Shiatsu wisdom and practises into her yoga classes, promoting health and wellbeing. Kat is also mother of  two Yoga kids, "graduate" Yogababies.
