Everton
Trained in the STOTT PILATES Method, Everton has a keen eye and has worked with many body types of all ages and levels of experience. Moving forward with continued education, his focus is fixed on Pilates for special populations.
With an energised teaching style he gives, but also demands a lot from clients in both group classes and one to one sessions. Realising the great benefits Pilates holds for the body Everton continues to develop in all areas in this field always achieving great results. With many years experience teaching dance, Everton has transferred skills and developed a teaching style all of his own. Using that energy one would find in a dance studio with encouraging and motivating phrasing through the exercises any client taking class with Everton will feel revitalising and long lasting results.
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
Anna has been practicing Yoga for over 15 years and is a 600hr registered teacher, including pre and post natal. Anna is dedicated to supporting her clients to progress. She is thankful to her teachers; Andrea Everingham who ignited the fire and Stewart Gilchrist Emi Tull, and Marcus Veda who keeps it burning.
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.
Yas
Yasmin is a sculpt, barre and yoga teacher. She trained as an actor, before realising her heart lies with movement. One life changing trip to Rishikesh, India and she was back on the mats, this time teaching in London. She has since taught and trained as a barre instructor with some of London’s best barre studios, later adding sculpt to her offerings. Yas’s practice is fun, strong and always led with kindness. Expect a motivating playlist and layered sequences!
