Karen
I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years in some shape or form. Having my first baby made me realise that I had to invest in myself to ensure I could show up more effectively for my family. Throughout this time period yoga became such a treat for me and having a growing family, as well as a demanding job in the city, it became an essential part of my life. So much so that I decided to train as a yoga teacher in 2015 with the world renowned Katy Appleton. Before this training I really saw yoga as lovely way to move your body, but throughout this intensive course it became so much more. Once this box was opened for me I found it impossible to shut and I went on to immerse myself fully into the world of yoga and teaching.
The style of yoga I teach is Vinyasa flow, which means linking postures together to form short sequences that can be constantly changed and played around with. I pride myself on creating new classes each which link breath body and spirit so that anyone attending will learn more about works for their own individual sense of self.
Anna

Justine
Since her initial 200-hour teacher’s training with Casey Chiang, a student of both Ana T. Forrest and Dylan Werner, Justine has expanded her teacher’s training repertoire extensively. She has attended masterclasses and workshops with Jared McCann, Patrick Beach, Jason Crandell and London School of Hand Balance’s Master Sainaa. In 2023 she completed Advanced 50-hour teacher’s training with Ambra Vallo and was coached in handstands by hand-balancer Manuele D’Aquino.
Figen
Figen has always been interested in the movement of the body and fascinated by the relationship between body and mind. She tried a variety of exercise classes, but after her first Pilates session it was clear this was different than anything she’d tried before. It didn’t take her long to become a believer as she saw how the practice transformed her posture, strength, body awareness, as well as her mind and spirit. After practicing Pilates for years Figen decided to deepen her understanding and share it with others. She trained to become a Pilates practitioner completing her training with Polestar Pilates.
