Basia Zieniewicz
I am a fully qualified and insured Yoga Instructor. After almost 20 years of practice, I began an 18-month teaching diploma training under Sevanti at Unity Yoga in 2019 and completed more than 400 hours of various training since.
Beginning my yoga journey in 1999, I've found my practice to be an incredibly powerful tool for support and positive transformation in my life. I've practiced and studied with teachers from various styles and traditions but I consider my practice and sharing to be post-lineage. I endeavour to share yoga practices in an inclusive, accessible and non-hierarchical way which respects your own inner wisdom and natural rhythmic cycles.
I embrace the role of a guide in the realms of both tenderness and resilience, softness and strength, in what I like to call “subtle activism” and am inspired by embodiment practices. I like to slow things down and I encourage this at every opportunity. My approach emphasizes nurturing an inquisitive awareness of the body, mind, and spirit. I aim to be playful in my devotion and facilitation, interweaving my various yoga trainings, esoteric practices, and transpersonal psychology. I like to focus on honesty and introspection in practice, guiding yogis to connect deeply with themselves to discard the superficial and delve into the breath to clear the mind & steer it towards clarity. I am passionate to guide towards cultivating a more sensitive connection to the subtle cues within and outside the body in order to align you with your most unique compass code. It's my firm belief that our duty is to discover what inspires us so we can be bold and share our sparkle in this world.
In addition to my initial teacher training certificate, I see myself as an ongoing student of yoga, inspired by many brilliant teachers, and have trained under Dr Kumar in Traditional Vedic yoga, Uma Dinsmore Tuli in Yoga Nidra, WeEvolve and Katonah yoga under Selena Gareffino, as well as yoga for children with Zen Kids and Trauma-Sensitive Foundation with Centre for Trauma and Embodiment.
With a degree in arts education and an accredited and certified Therapeutic Depth Psychology Coach, my post-graduate therapeutic trainings include Integrative Arts, Psychosynthesis and Grofian Psychedelic and Breathwork psychological models, being an ongoing student of spiritual psychology since 2020. I specialise in supporting and integrating spiritual emergence and emergencies.
A humbled co-creator to our avant-garde yoga club in East London, Yoga In the Stars, where we embody the philosophy of being a "merging of the emerging," and space for continuous learning, community and growth.
I offer 121 coaching packages, yoga sessions, yoga nidra and am in the process of creating an online mentorship program - in due course

Your guides:
★ Astrologer, Eliza Veretilo ★
Eliza is an artist, singer-songwriter, palm reader, tarot reader and astrologer based in London. Originally from Ecuador and Belarus, Eliza's interests in astrology, psychology and art have been a life-long affair, but she only started diving deep into Astrology in 2011 during her final year studying Philosophy at University, she discovered the many layers of her own natal chart and never looked back. She uses Astrology as a psychological tool to help people understand themselves and actualise their highest potential, working with the energy rather than against it. She has a deep interest in Jungian Psychology religion, esotericism and Philosophy, as well as self-development through art. She has a background in education and holds both art and astrology workshops.
★ Astral Psychologist & Shaman, Fernanda Baraybar ★
Fernanda Baraybar is a spiritual coach and Shaman working with the Quero community in Peru. She specialises on psychic research and energy archetypes doing transpersonal studies with the Alef Trust. As a Shaman, she provides path alignment therapy and frequency attunement. Her love for Pachamama and the psychedelic realms expands her connection to the astral planes, working as a channeller and guide through our dimensional awareness.
★ Sound Therapist, Maybe Laura ★
Maybe Laura; a Lithuanian-born London-based DJ and sound therapist deeply intertwined in the local electronic music scene both as an artist and curator, and well-loved for her genuine and warm energy behind the decks. She carefully selects music and weaves together worlds that allow for experimental, downtempo and dance music to effortlessly coexist.
★ Yoga Teacher, Personal Trainer & Nutritionalist, Lucy Krizan ★
Lucy's daily Yoga practice is her studying and teaching guidance, which she is also reflecting in her daily life. She calls her class Grace of Vinyasa. Lucy's guidance is very direct and precise during the class, whether encouraging through an anatomical understanding of our body - what we do and why, or spiritual acknowledgement of our existence along with the inseparable relationship with our mind. Lucy's classes are far away from what the posture looks like, but what your body feels like and mainly what experience you bring into that precious moment of practising on the mat and at the same time off the mat in your daily life.
★ Yoga Student & Psychosynthesis Coach, Basia Zieniewicz ★
Basia Zieniewicz is a certified yoga facilitator, arts educator, Psychosynthesis coach and Grofian Psychedelic Therapist in training with a background in Transpersonal Psychology, plant medicine, and Integrative Arts Therapy. Basia's current commitment is to align with, what she's called, her "Cosmic Constitution" thereby discovering her destiny. Her biggest undertaking is turning life itself into an art form and to share this process is her greatest privilege.
