Hi, I’m Efi - yoga teacher, researcher and mum of two. What initially got me into yoga was a curiosity to move in new ways and to keep fit. But what I found was so much more than that. After many years of practice, yoga helped me find calm and heal from anxiety and chronic digestive issues. After 20 years of practice I trained in Hatha & Restorative yoga at Bristol School of Yoga and also in Yoga for digestion at Yoga Campus. I’m now delighted to be able to share this amazing practice with others, who I hope are going to find the same love and enthusiasm for it as so many others have. Whether you’re already into yoga or someone who’s just reluctantly giving it a go for the first time, I create a space where you can show up as you are, move how you need, and maybe even surprise yourself along the way. No need to be able to reach your toes or stand on your head. My classes are mostly about connection. Connecting movement with breath, mind with body and us with our own selves. Expect thoughtful sequences, clear instruction, and a reminder that yoga isn’t about perfect poses—it’s about being present. Let’s move, breathe, and not take ourselves too seriously. Every body is very welcome.

I began my yoga journey in Senegal, taking time for myself and moving in the early mornings before the village would wake up. Witnessing the benefits this practice brought to my mind, body, and soul inspired me to go deeper, leading me to complete a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in France in 2020. Alongside this, I explored the power of breath and resilience through an initiation into cold exposure and breathwork practices. Since 2023, I have continued to expand my understanding of asanas by studying anatomy and neuroscience, focusing on how neurology connects to the physical practice of yoga and how this knowledge can support students in their own journeys. For me, yoga is a space to explore movement in unexpected ways, a playground where I can fall, experiment, and allow emotions to rise and pass. It is a practice that continually brings me back to my authentic self.

I am a 200 hour certified Hatha and Restorative yoga teacher who believes that yoga is a practice of listening to the body and the breath. My classes offer a mindful and grounded approach to movement, encouraging students to explore how postures feel rather than how they look. Drawing on the traditional principles of Hatha yoga, I aim to guide through sequences that balance strength and softness, effort and ease. Breath awareness is a strong influence in my classes, helping to calm our overactive nervous system, steady the mind, and create a deeper connection with the body. I hope to see you soon!
