Hi I'm Emma! I've been practicing yoga regularly since around 2008 and in October 2018 completed my 200 hours teacher training, more recently I've also qualified as a Menopause Wellness and Sleep coach. I've always kept physically fit but I love that yoga goes further and provides both the mind and body with fulfilment which feels so good. My classes provide a blend of gentle challenge along with mindful movement. My teaching style is down to earth and rooted in making everyone feel welcome and included. Alongside yoga, I'm a wanderluster and love to be on a sunny beach or snowboarding down a mountain!

Hello everyone, I am Helen - nice to meet you! I have just arrived in this lovely part of the UK from the flat lands of the Netherlands. Whilst overseas, I really missed the hills, so it is now delightful to be surrounded by such lush undulating countryside! My yoga teaching is an ongoing journey and has corresponded with my physical journey around the globe. I am a qualified Yoga Alliance Yin and Vinyasa teacher, having been trained in the Netherlands, I was inspired by the spiritual yoga classes which followed the teachings of the philosophical guru Ram Das and yoga teachers such as Sarah Powers. I therefore, love to combine the practical asana elements of yoga with inner awareness, so that we can dive deeper into the true nature of Yoga. I also love using breathwork and including relaxation in the practice, as well as the core fire, when we need it! Each of my classes have their own flavour. Each season brings a new rhythm and a new energy level. Join me when you can, I am looking forward to meeting you on the mat Helen x

I was initially drawn to yoga to complement my gym based fitness. Within a few classes I was hooked, drawn by not only the effect Yoga had on me physically but also emotionally and mentally. Yoga teaches you how to really listen to, and connect with, your body, your breath, and your mind. This connection is fundamental not only to my own personal practice, but also to my teaching. Drawing from the flow of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and also the more passive and longer held postures of Yin yoga, my classes include a combination of flowing postures and held postures, to challenge the body in different ways, enabling deeper exploration of the practice and all the positive effects that Yoga brings. I hope that you will leave my classes feeling not only more flexible, stronger and invigorated, but also calmed, balanced and restored.

Matilda fell in love with Pilates as an antidote to a busy, stressful, surging London lifestyle. She found her time on the Reformer would still her mind and strengthen her body. Studying as a Dynamic Reformer Pilates Instructor in late 2019 cemented her practise and passion. During the Pandemic, Matilda took Pilates online - creating ‘Pilates in the Wild’ an online community that grew throughout Lockdowns. She delivered sessions and workouts from a square-metre of grass in Harringey, to half-built barns in the French countryside, to an organic farm in Stroud to an infamous, historic country pub, where the London girl became a Landlady. She teaches Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates and is training to teach Aerial Pilates. Matilda can promise you’ll find a fiery, free-spirited energy in all her classes, and leave feeling challenged and energised. Outside of the studio, she can be found hiking the hills of the Cotswolds, trying as many restaurants as will have her and is taking her Level 2 Award in Wines.
