Nina Hearne

Nina’s approach to teaching yoga creates a space for inclusivity, from styles such as slow flow to something a bit more challenging. Yoga as a physical practice that allows us to create change and with that we learn patience and acceptance. We look for strength and length on our mats, for adaptation and exploration in the mind and importantly choices across the board.

Rachel Lindars

Rachel has practiced and studied several styles of yoga. She weaves these approaches into her classes making them creative, challenging (with options for differing levels of ability) and fun, she likes to keep her classes focused but not too serious! She is a firm believer that there is always an option for everyone, empowering you to adjust your practice and tune in to what your body and mind truly need each time you’re in the pod, be it a challenge or to go softer. This will allow you to work hard but also respectfully.
