Yoga has been a constant thread in Edna Reindhart’s life since her own adolescence. What continues to draw her to the practice is the sense of having a home base to return to — a place of steadiness, gratitude and resilience.

She is attracted to the natural beauty of the postures and the profound mind–body connection they offer. There is a quiet grace in both the shapes themselves and the process of arriving at them, a reminder that strength and stillness can coexist.

Edna formally began her yoga journey in 1975, studying with Dorothea Mangiamele, founder of Mangala Studios, whose integration of music and movement left a lasting impression on her teaching. Over the years, this practice has guided Edna through her work with children and teenagers.

Alongside teaching and founding two studios, Edna established Yoga Education Resources in 2006 (now continued under ednareinhardt.com) to create practical supports that help teachers and facilitators inspire young people to discover their own sense of balance.

She has presented at numerous professional development conferences and workshops, sharing her approach with educators and allied health professionals.

Her resources continue to be used in educational and therapeutic settings across Australia and internationally, including the Creative Yoga for Teenagers book and the Relaxation for Teenagers audio recording — trusted supports designed to nurture calm, confidence, and inner connection during the often-challenging adolescent years.
