About Annabelle

A lifetime in practice, in service of your calm

I am Annabelle Leray, a holistic therapist, wellbeing coach and yoga teacher based in Adelaide. For more than two decades I have walked the path of yoga, meditation and self-inquiry, and my work is simply this: to share what I have learned so you can feel steadier, clearer and more at home in yourself.

My story

I was born in France and moved to Australia with my family in 2013. Yoga, though, had been part of my life long before that, more than 20 years of personal practice that slowly grew into a calling to teach and share my knowledge, and life experiences, through which I can inspire a broader view of life.

Over the years I trained as a Hatha and Kundalini Yoga instructor and taught widely: one-to-one, in groups, and on retreats. But the deeper my practice went, the more I was drawn to the wisdom traditions behind the postures. Since 2015 I have studied Jnana Yoga and the Vedanta philosophy continuously, exploring the non-dual teachings through the Bhagavad Gita and Tattva Bodha that ask the most important question of all: who are you, beneath everything you think you are, beyond the dualistic worldview that shapes much of our experience?

Alongside this, I have gathered a broad set of practical tools over the years: EFT, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Reiki, tarot reading, sophrology and relaxology, breathwork and meditation, as well as active listening (which I trained in back in the early 2000s). What unites them is how I hold space for people: with full presence, genuine warmth, and no urge to fix or judge. It is why so many people tell me they feel truly heard, often for the first time in a long while.

Today I weave these threads together, movement, wisdom and deep listening, into holistic support sessions, yoga classes, women's circles, workshops, and wellbeing programs for schools and workplaces. My approach is whole-person and practical, supporting mental, emotional and physical health, and shaped around the real needs of each person or organisation I work with.
