Since 1974, Toowoomba School of Yoga, under the guidance of its Principal, June Jackson, has offered an integrated mind-body approach to yoga. June's vision has been to provide students with a holistic understanding of how to use practical yoga techniques in their own personal health management and lifestyle choices.
The School's goal is to assist students to best navigate the journey towards their own personal integration of yoga within their lifestyle and life choices.
The Mission Statement of the School is:
- to enhance the individual's lifestyle and personal development through effective health management within a yogic system of teaching and practise; and
- a commitment towards standards of excellence within a quality of assurance process in the development and delivery of training programs and client service.
In 2000, June consolidated her years of teaching and learning into the establishment of Yoga Queensland (Training Division) Pty Ltd as a Registered Training Organisation offering nationally recognised training courses.
June's own journey into Yoga began over thirty years ago when recovering from a serious illness. June found yoga as a pathway to her successful rehabilitation, and as an ongoing focus to rebuild her own health and personal development within a traditional yogic system of learning and teaching.
