Jaina
I specialise in pregnancy, antenatal education and postnatal care for women and their families. I am passionate about empowering and supporting people, on and off the mat through the journey of practicing yoga, leaving you physically, emotionally and mentally balanced. I look forward to supporting you.
Tara
Originally from Ibiza, Tara has been a practitioner of yoga for over 17 years. After a series of life events and becoming a mum, Tara left her fast paced life in a legal career to train as a yoga teacher, in order to help others experience the healing benefits and equilibrium stemming from a regular yoga practice. Watching a person's journey back to themselves and the joy that brings is priceless.
Her aim is always to guide people through the vehicle of the practice, physically, mentally and or spiritually, for their benefit.
Initially undertaking a 200 hour Hatha Vinyasa training, she then went on to train with the internationally renowned Angela Jervis Read in both advanced yin and trauma informed yoga, totalling 350 hours.
You will find plenty of classical Indian yoga philosophy and 5 element theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine, subtly woven through her classes.
Tara teaches a range of different yoga, meditation and breathwork practices in the form of classes, workshops and to corporate clients. She also provides both private and small group practices on request.
Whether she is teaching a more dynamic class such as vinyasa or a still practice such as yin, Tara ensures there are plenty of options built in, whether it's your first time on the mat or you're a more seasoned yogi looking to find growth in some way.
You will always find a warm welcome at any of Tara's classes, wherever you are at in your journey, on or off the mat.
Eleanor
Eleanor uses various techniques to promote wellbeing stemming from a personal quest of healing and self care. Qigong has by far been her favourite and most useful exercise that she has integrated into her life.
Qigong has brought challenges in that it is a completely different way of moving the body to anything else Eleanor had ever learned. The slow wave-like quality and moving from an inner strength, was at first surprising. As everything else in life is taught at 100 miles an hour with almost 100% effort level, to be given permission to use minimum effort and work within the parameters of your energy levels was a wonderful feeling. The constant comparisons to nature and animals brings light heartedness and fun.
Eleanor wishes to share this magical practise of Qigong with as many people as she can.
Angela
I am a qualified Holistic Sound Therapist and have a strong interest in studying energy work also using my intuition.
I was drawn to well-being after having an undiagnosed injury for 4 years. It supported me along my healing journey and kept my hope and optimism going.
This is why I was drawn to sound and using it to help restore healthy vibrations within the body.
I also like to use my intuitive side with the instruments too.
Donna
I began practicing Ashtanga Yoga with Rolf Naujokat at the end of 1998, when I happened across a class on my way to the beach in Goa.
I began teaching in 2012 after realizing how much this practice had transformed my life, and that I would like to pass on some of the benefits I had gained to others. I completed a week’s intensive TT with David Swenson in 2012, and my 200 hour Teacher Training with John Scott in 2014.
In 2017 I was Authorised by Manju Jois to teach Primary and Intermediate series of the Ashtanga method. I feel honoured that he chose to authorise me and trusts me to pass on his life long practice.
I endeavor to practice with John Scott, Manju and Rolf whenever I can, I am still very much a student as there is definitely so much more to learn.
I love the Ashtanga system because it is so transformative and when practiced traditionally is perfect for everyone. Now I can’t imagine my life without yoga.
I teach Ashtanga as it is the only yoga I know and I love the intelligence and the logic of it! I use the counted vinyasa system because it helps to keep focus during class, and has really helped me to understand this system properly. I like to encourage people to find their own practice and take as much time as they need to work at the postures. I love to teach Mysore style classes because it’s the original all levels class, suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Every body is different so Mysore style allows for people to work at their own pace without having to keep up with the rest of the class, and truly makes the practice your own.
I work with consent cards so that people feel empowered to accept or refuse hands on adjustments throughout the class. My adjustments are more of a guide of where to move to, rather than a full on strong forcible adjustment. There is a lot to be said about suggesting the direction of a posture and working with the energy of the person to get them to the point they are comfortable with rather than forcing the “perfect” posture, which may not be right for everyone.
This practice has transformed my life and helped me to uncover the light that, for so long lay hidden within me! I love the Idea that through yoga you can help others to find their own light and change the world one person at a time!
Rosy
Hello! 👋 What to tell you about me?! Well, firstly, my name is Rosy. I’m a wife and a Mummy and my yoga mat is my ME time whether I move, take a seat or simply lie down! Previously a teacher in many forms, I have found my second home in the yoga spaces where I bring gentle classes combining flowing movements, moments of stillness and blissful relaxation designed to nourish and nurture you. I am passionate about creating warm and welcoming communities based upon self-acceptance, compassion, and support - meaning my classes are perfect for those looking to start or return to yoga and especially those who are a little nervous and/or self-conscious.
My yogis often tell me that I should start a podcast to help them with getting to sleep … I’m hoping that means my voice is soothing and relaxing rather than just boring and monotonous!! 🙈
I look forward to welcoming you to your YOU time in your new community.
Rosy 🙏
Hannah
As a qualified massage therapist I have always had a keen interest in the body and looking after it as best I can. Helping to prevent injuries and illness. My hobbies over the years have included Pilates, Yoga, Pole Skills, Boxing, Running, and Hiking. Following the birth of my 2nd child, 13 years ago, I experienced lower back issues, it became very clear to me that looking after your body the right way is imperative. It was my love of Pilates (and coming across the right teacher), plus the realisation that Pilates will help to protect my back, that lead me to take my teaching qualification. Which I achieved in 2020.
I am passionate to pass on the benefits of Pilates on to others.
My motivation and focus when planning classes are to get people moving in a safe and enjoyable manner. Enjoyment of a class is important to me. Encouraging participants to have confidence in their ability. I look forward to meeting you in class.
Christin
Originally from Germany I have lived in England since 2012 and now settled in Greater Manchester.
I am a passionate mother of one son. I started my journey to become a qualified lifecoach in 2018 after going through a challenging time in my personal life and found it difficult to get the help that I really needed from my GP. During my course to become a life coach I found my passion in working with the subconscious mind and so trained to become an NLP practitioner and clinical hypnotherapist. I have since helped clients discover their values, needs and goals in life and guide them on their journeys to reach their full potentials, break unhealthy habits and generally start living calmer, peaceful and happier lives.
I offer my clients tailored 121 therapy sessions and run a monthly group session with a different focus each month at the studio.
Yvette
My yoga journey began many many years ago when I rolled out my mat for the first time in an Ashtanga class.
Ashtanga is still my 'go to' practice. That first experience created the start of a journey that still continues today. I am continually inspired and mesmerised by the transformative and supportive nature of Yoga and Holistic therapies.
I now offer a range of yoga styles and mindfulness practices in class, private and corporate environment
Sophie
Sophie is also a Practical Assessor for the British School of Yoga, provides Mindfulness sessions in several corporate environments and has worked alongside the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and the NHS.
Bronte
My yoga journey began several years ago when I was searching for something to combine the elements of body, mind and spirit through one practice. Movement is medicine and stillness integrates, yoga is the perfect balance of both these things. I set out to learn more about yoga at the end of 2023, and completed my training in Vinyasa, Hatha and Nada (sound) yoga.
As a new teacher, I am so excited to hold space for others and offer practices focused on finding our inner flow. I find inspiration in nature and will be integrating this throughout the classes.
I look forward to seeing you on the mat
Love and light.
