MEET OUR TEAM

Tye – Talalla Yoga Manager and Resident Facilitator 

Tye is a curious student of life. Always eager to learn and understand beyond the curtain of physical experience. Through this curiosity and devotion to yoga, Tye has had the great fortune to learn from many incredible teachers and gurus allowing her to hone her craft and deepen her respect, interest, and experience of yoga and energetic healing.

Tye is a certified E-RYT 500hr Yoga Teacher and Trainer with a deep love for traditional and modern experimental forms of yoga. Captivated by Eastern philosophy and the intelligence of energetics, Tye is a skilled practitioner with qualifications as a Certified Reiki Master; Energetic Healer / Educator, and Massage Therapist.

Tye’s asana yoga classes incorporate a free-flowing vinyasa inspired by the pulsation of breath and embodied mudras. Tye is a warm and generous practitioner who loves to share her extensive knowledge of yoga, yin, meditation, pranayama, and self-healing modalities with others.

Rhian – Talalla Yoga Manager and Resident Facilitator 

An established and passionate RYT 200 Yoga Facilitator, Rhian finds inspiration through those who she shares the practice with. Australian-born and based in Sri Lanka for the past 5 years, she offers a deeply embodied yoga experience for students to gain benefit from both on and off the mat.

Incorporating traditional Indian practices with Western influence, she continues to share and develop creative styles of Vinyasa, Hatha, Energy Flow, Yin and Restorative, to help present the balance and unity of mind, body and soul awareness. 

Through her lighthearted approach to teaching, Rhian’s softness and attention to alignment allows her students the chance to explore their own self-practice with an open mind and sense of curiosity, in order to develop and connect to their innermost confident self.

When Rhian’s not teaching, you will find her creating extensive spreadsheets and yoga playlists for all to enjoy.

Portia – Talalla Yoga Resident Facilitator 

Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Portia’s yoga journey began in 2008, with her first meeting on the mat awakening something that had always been a part of her– a deep connection to the divine, which is something that we all share.

With a practice that draws equally from each of the eight limbs, Portia encourages her students to draw upon the power of breath, meditation, mantra, and movement to form a holistic, heart-centered relationship with Yoga, and to discover union with the self.

Over the years Yoga has taken her around the world where she has taught Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga on retreats and at studios, as well as on 200 HR YTTs alongside her teacher, Tanya Popovich.

Yogic philosophy and Advaita Vedanta have been a major focus in her studies and she seeks to impart these beautiful concepts to others.

She is a 500 HR certified teacher through Shri Gaia Institute

Lena – Talalla Yoga Resident Facilitator 

This magical, mystical ride we call life has been the source of inspiration for Lena’s journey on and off the mat. Hailing from a rural town in the US, Lena was formally exposed to the teachings of yoga in her early 20s when she was studying to become a lawyer, but felt right at home in the play, inquiry, and depth offered in the techniques. Ever deepening her curiosity to look behind the veil, Lena has devoted the last 15+ years to exploring yoga and other wisdom teachings, with a particular affinity for Non-Dual Tantra, Vinyasa Krama, Hatha, Yin, Vedic Meditation, Breathwork, and Yoga Nidra. 

With over 10 years of teaching experience (including a few stints teaching at Talalla in the past) and 800+ hours of formal yoga trainings, Lena’s intention as a teacher is to seamlessly guide you through intelligent, safe and inspiring asana sequencing, expansive breathing techniques and unifying meditations with the view of cultivating the space necessary for you to drop into presence with yourself, so that the Truth of who You are can spontaneously arise on, and ultimately off the mat. 

When not teaching, you can find Lena surfing, playing music, writing poetry, studying or generally contemplating the great mysteries of the universe masquerading as myriad mundane forms. While at Talalla, Lena will also be offering community ceremonies with cacao and blue lotus, movement and breathwork, as well as her signature 1:1 5 Kosha Purification Ritual for those ready to close old chapters of their lives so that they can transition into their next phase with grace and clarity.
