Unmasking Your Power

10. Where ancient practice meets modern life: inside Newcastle’s most grounded and welcoming yoga community

Ep. 10

Today, we're joined by Cveta, the founder and guiding force behind Yoga Loft Newcastle, a studio which is a tranquil inner-city sanctuary where movement meets mindfulness, and every breath invites you home to yourself.


At Yoga Loft, the experience is unlike anything else in Newcastle. With highly trained teachers many with over a decade of experience: each class becomes a deeply personal journey. Whether you're flowing through a strong vinyasa or surrendering into a quiet yin session, you’ll be met with heart, wisdom, and a down-to-earth sense of community.


The studio itself is a peaceful, grounding space, inspiring, and designed to help you disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with the energy and creativity within.

In this episode, Cveta shares the story behind Yoga Loft, her passion for holding space, and what it really means to live a modern yogic life. If you’ve been searching for stillness, strength, and a sense of something more this conversation is your invitation in.
