Yoga. Moving with the breath, developing strength, flexibility and calm

From 78.78 C$ /h

Yoga is how I nourish the introvert part of my artist self, connecting my body with my love of both movement and creation. It is like entering an alternative space that exists within the mat, where I am allowed to simply "be."

Yoga brings incalculable value to our lives. Aside from its mental and physical benefits, sharing a yoga practice can also be a spiritual experience. There is a special synchronicity happening within oneself and with others when moving and breathing together.

For nearly a decade, I've enjoyed leading yoga practices around the world, witnessing discovery and growth in a wide range of practitioners. With a 500+ hour certification from Yoga Alliance, I teach a wide variety of styles, including Vinyasa Flow, Vinyasa Chakra, Power, and Yin Yoga.

Bringing my dance experience, as well as my knowledge of breath, meditation and Ayurveda into the yoga practice are my favorite ways of creatively catering the class to all the different age groups, goals, levels of experience, and times of the day. I believe in making any given practice the best possible opportunity for growth, presence, and gratitude.

You don't need any experience and the class is one hundred percent focused on your own needs and goals.

In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation.

You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious.

The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

I’m a self-employed yoga teacher freshly installed in London. I teach vinyasa yoga as slow or fast paced as you need, with a strong focus on intertwining the rich yoga philosophy with the physical practice.

I trained as a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher in San Francisco at Laughing Lotus (now renamed Lotusland Yoga) with Jasmine Tarkeshi and Brima Jah. This teacher training was life changing for me, and as I soaked in Jasmine & Brima’s knowledge, kindness and values, I strengthened my own yoga practice and developed my own way of sharing yoga with others.

My approach to teaching can be summarized in three major commitments:
- honouring yoga’s roots: I use both sanskrit and english names for asanas, I’m passionate about yoga mythology and love sharing the stories behind my favorite shapes
- offering teachings that represent the whole yoga philosophy: yoga is so much more than a workout, my classes always have an intention to them, they tend to be focused on one or two of the chakras and include at least another of the eight limbs (pranayama, one of the yamas or niyamas, meditation...)
- making my classes accessible to various communities and identities: yoga is for all! I offer many options in every asana to make them accessible to all bodies, I always encourage practitioners to rest as needed and follow their own pace, and I avoid using gendered cues that are inherently exclusive.

I’ve lived in many places and I've worked as a medical imaging software engineer for six years. A year ago, I quit my job and spent a sabbatical year with my partner, traveling Europe in our van. This year-long journey taught me so much and reinforced my confidence that I want yoga to be a major part of my life (both professional and personal). So as we settle into our new home in London, I’m taking this opportunity to focus on my career as a yoga teacher.

Yoga is so much more than a tool for exercise and working out. It is a practice that allows one to work through their mind, body and soul simultaneously. I will be offering private in-person and zoom classes that are based purely on your needs, goals and preferences when it comes to the outcome you would like to receive through the practice.

We will focus on different areas of the body, gain strength and flexibility as well as maintain a zen and relaxed feeling through breath and meditation.

Yoga can be extremely beneficial for all ages and abilities and it may just be the perfect thing you need right now.

Personalised sessions are great for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. With one-on-one attention, you can work towards a specific goal and learn ways to build your practice based on your specific needs.

Beginners will be introduced to the fundamentals of yoga and Pilates (postures, breath, philosophy) and can ask questions, break down postures and receive explicit alignment instructions. For those wanting to advance your practice, you will receive the teacher’s undivided attention as you explore postures, work through any obstacles and go deeper into your practice than you might do in a public class

I teach the 8-week Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) as well as lead hourly guided meditation sessions privately 1-2-1 and in groups/teams.
The MBLC is run once a week in 2 hour sessions. There is an introductory session approx. one month before the first session and a follow up session approx. one after the eighth session.
Guided meditations can be tailored accordingly.

I am a qualified Kundalini, Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga teacher with several years experience. I tailor make the classes to support the individual needs of the person. This allows for calm, mindfulness and balancing of the energy at the end of the day or start of the day. Kundalini Yoga Therapy is a 1:1 session which will allow you to work on clearing blockages within the energy of the body and individual chakras.

Yoga is a powerful instrument that can help us to understand and grow confidence in our bodies and mind. It is fundamental in mental and physical wellbeing, and even just one session a week can make a difference to your life.

In this class, you will learn a range of asanas in depth, including their purpose and effects in your body. There will also be an abundance of yogic philosophy and techniques for meditation and pranayama (Breath-work). Each student will delve into their being and explore any blockages or stressed energy, and gradually smooth them out. Yoga is an ideal way to stay fit and healthy, and remove pressures from day to day life.

For this Class, I want to create an intimate and comfortable atmosphere for the student; all ages and levels of experience welcome. There will be a sequence of asanas, short teachings of yoga philosophy, and open discussions between teacher and student. Aside from the class, I am always an open ear for anyone in need, and will provide the best support I can.

The classes can be tailored to the student's needs and ability.
Just have a chat with me about what you want to learn - any specific poses or philosophies, or just general ideas.
I am able to provide sessions more similar to a workout for physical fitness and training, or a more relaxed class with in depth postures and open conversations.

Music has always been a huge part of my life and I would be thrilled to pass on my knowledge. I studied music at university and have Grade 8 in both piano and vocals, but I have also performed in many different venues across the UK. I have helped previous students with stage-fright and anxiety with performing as well as aiding them learn their favourite songs on piano - and singing along at the same time. I can teach in many different piano styles from popular music to classical and I can also teach music theory.

I have a deep passion for traditional, holistic yogic practises and I understand that large classes can be overwhelming. I have found that Yoga is very individual, and with gentle 1:1 guidance, has lots room for personal growth. I can teach poses, breathing techniques and meditation to help us feel the best we can.

All my lessons will be tailored to each student, we will discuss together the goals of the practise, and provide the balance of learning, but also making it fun and enjoyable and a space to relax.

Yoga is for everyone! This class is designed to be as inclusive as possible. Promoting students to be present and true to their unique bodies and set of experiences. The class invites students to participate in Asana (movement) practice as well as Paranayama (breath work) in order to feel grounded and present on and off of the Yoga mat! There will be a combination of strengthening and opening Yoga Asanas.

My classes are informed by my own experience of being deaf - if you have any access needs or are apprehensive about joining a studio Yoga class I aim to give you the confidence and understanding of the possibilities of Yoga.

This class will involve an opening meditation, warm up, sequence of flows, closing meditation and savasana.

Each class will focus on a different theme, whether be building towards a peak pose, honing in on a chakra or working on strengthening/mobilising a specific part of the body. This can be requested by the client.

Hannah teaches open & friendly Vinyasa flow classes accompanied by mood boosting playlists, where we will interweave work on strength and stability. She uses the breath as a core element of the practice, helping students connect with themselves throughout.

Whether you are looking to increase flexibility, gain strength or feel more grounded in your everyday life, her classes will offer a space to take what you need on any given day. Hannah passionately believe that yoga is for everybody’s body and always give variations and modifications so the practice can be accessed by all. She also gives gentle offerings of assists, adjustments and breathing techniques that can be used on and off the mat.

You'll be encouraged to meet yourself on the mat, practice with self acceptance, and leave feeling centered and content!

This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind.

For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’.

We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome!

A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body.

The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.

The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and
healing.

The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system.

The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit.

I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
