Michelle is an Appleyoga trained teacher and has practised yoga for over 12 years, exploring many styles of yoga along the way, including Sivananda, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Vinyasa Flow yoga.  Her class includes elements from many of these styles of yoga, but is mostly influenced by her love for vinyasa flow yoga.  Her teaching style is friendly, fun and informative; there is an opportunity to explore an understanding of the mechanics of the body and how yoga arises from this; rather than as an aesthetic art for the external observer. 
Michelle teaches with the needs of the stressed-out, city-living individual in mind; focusing on the synchronization of breath and mindful movement, helping to bring body, mind and spirit into alignment.  Classes are strong, steady, and light-hearted; physically challenging, whilst providing the time to deeply relax, restore and recharge.  Michelle is deeply thankful for all the teachers she has encountered on her yoga journey so far.

Austeja first encountered yoga as a moving meditation six years ago and since then it has been an on-going inspiring journey towards the discovery of the true self. She found that the fast pace of life where you are being constantly bombarded with messages, encouraged and even forced to compete to get a better job, better life, or just to get on the train during the rush hour made stress and anxiety more common in her daily life. All these factors combined to make it rather impossible to live in peace. Moreover, Austeja was suffering from the severe back ache and was advised by specialists to try yoga. To her surprise she noticed the mental and physical benefits of yoga after just a few sessions, and so continued the practice. Yoga taught Austeja how to stop and rest and breathe... “Since then yoga teachings not just assisted in soothing away mental tensions and increased my flexibility and stamina, but also continue to subtly benefit all aspects of my life.”

I have been practicing Yoga for around 7 years, and been teaching for just over a year. I learnt about the Art and Science of Vinyasa flow at Yeotown in Devon, with the amazing Mecedes Ngoh. I attend workshops all over London to find inspiration from other great teachers, as well as running my own and teaching classes whenever I can.

I teach Vinyasa Flow, which is a dynamic powerful Yoga built around creative sequencing and sun salutations, classic standing Asanas and also grounding floor postures. I build the class around a ‘peak posture’ and every class is different, as I will focus on a different area of the body. It is physically challenging and you will get sweaty! I also create a modern soundtrack/playlist to accompany you through the different paces of the class.

Within the alchemical mix of Liz's classes there is space for healing, space for creative play, space to get to know your “inner guru” and space to transcend perceived limitations (yes, that can be mean challenging!)

Lex is accredited by the Yoga Alliance and has been practicing yoga for over 10 years. Although he has studied with many teachers, he thinks of Yogi Ram of Rishikesh and Don and Amber Stapleton of The Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica (formerly of Kripalu) as his main influences; the former being a very traditional Hatha Guru from the foothills of the Himalayas and the latter, teachers of interdisciplinary yoga (a blend of Vinyasa, Yin, Faldenkrais, Somatics, Iyengar and Ashtanga).

His classes incorporate aspects of all these traditions within a Vinyasa flow context.

Open to both beginners and experienced students, Lex believes it is very important for the individual to make each asana an expression of their own body type and state of mind, whilst encouraging the release of old blockages and limiting thought patterns through a combination of breath, movement and awareness.

An accredited shiatsu masseur and hypnotherapist, Lex also has special interest in Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) which is a mixture of relaxation and deep observational awareness of the breath, body and mind, all of which are incorporated into his sadhana.

"moving with the grace of a divine force is as much about falling on your bum as it is about flowing with a perfect alignment.

when both are executed and observed with humility and acceptance, both become the actions of a god".  - Lex
