Lisa stepped on a yoga mat for the very first time in 2016 and although the physicality of the practise interested her, she realised the ability yoga has to calm and balance her mind. Lisa believes in living life free of judgement, filled with joy and gratitude. These feelings inform her practise and guide her teaching, which help students better connect to themselves and their surroundings in today's busy world.

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.

Liam wants to bring the gratitude he has for this life-enriching practice, into each of his classes. Liam very much believes in movement as medicine, and putting the body in motion to still the mind. Whether you are new to yoga, or a seasoned-pro, Liam will give you the opportunity to turn inwards for an hour, so that when you step outside, you will feel revitalised, relaxed, and ready for whatever comes your way.

Life can feel very fast-paced sometimes, and Hannah loves how yoga can help us to slow down, feeling calmer and more grounded. Hannah is confident that you don’t need to be bendy or super zen to practice yoga, and she enjoys supporting yoga students to focus on their own body and breath, rather than worrying about what they look like or what others are doing. Hannah’s yoga classes are never too serious, and she guides students with warmth and friendliness.

Amy began her physical Yoga journey a few years back whilst living abroad – however never realised how great of an impact Yoga would have on her later in life. She kept some physical form of Yoga practice up over the years and started to notice the benefits emerging in the background (if not yet fully acknowledging them!).
She really wants to share the positive affect Yoga has had on her with others, with the aim of hoping they experience some benefits too.

Sam started yoga at university to compliment her karate training. Whilst she began practicing for the physical benefits, she became passionate about the calming, grounding effects yoga can offer both body and mind.

Sam loves to find strength, balance, and fun in her flows. She believes yoga is for everyone and loves helping students explore their potential and find curiosity in their practice.

I'm Viv and I’ve been movement enthusiast from a young age and practitioner of yoga for over 10 years.
Like many, initially I was attracted to yoga as a means of exercise but realised over time and through practice that yoga enabled me to experience a profound sense of presence, contentment and joy that I struggled to find in otherwise in my daily life. It draws me to return time and time again to the mat! I started as a beginner myself at Tri-yoga London and practiced as a student for many years in numerous studios and styles of yoga such as vinyasa, hot and Ashtanga yoga as well as attending retreats in the Portuguese mountains. I've been incredibly fortunate to train alongside some incredibly knowledgeable teachers who have all influenced my own teaching style today.
In 2022 I qualified from a 250 hour vinyasa tantra Yoga teacher training here in Bristol. I aim to teach in a kramic (step-by-step) style in an way that is assessable to all levels of students and encourage and intuitive style of practice for my students.
I feel yoga is an incredible tool of self discovery that can help us bring balance back into our lives (on and off the mat!)
until we show up for ourselves first we cannot truly be of service to others. This ancient and beautiful practice continues to accompany me as a powerful resource in my life and I look forward to sharing it with others in the hopes that it may do the same for them.
