About Natasha.
After 20 years of kickboxing, Natasha turned to yoga as a way to enhance her performance and to aid recovery from injuries. Completely unaware of the vast health benefits that yoga would have on her life, she was quickly amazed by the way her life was improving in so many different areas and both in body and mind. Yoga soon became her version of “me time” to compliment her existing busy schedule of Kickboxing, coaching and her ambassador work of empowering women through sport. 
Determined to deepen her knowledge and to spread the benefits of yoga, Natasha travelled to India in 2018 to immerse herself in the world of Ashtanga Yoga and gained her teaching training in Vinyasa & Ashtanga yoga.
Natasha offers a super safe space for anyone to practice yoga, she encourages you and leaves you feeling like you can conquer your day.

About Anna.
Movement has always been a big part of Anna’s life, but it was during a difficult period of illness in 2014 that she truly discovered the power of yoga.

About Bhavesh.
Unlike most yoga teachers, Bhavesh’s journey began with meditation rather than physical yoga. Introduced to the practice by his parents as a child, meditation gave him a calm and focused mind, but years of an active lifestyle left his body feeling stiff and restricted.
After discovering physical yoga in 2013, he quickly realised it was the missing piece. His practice transformed the way his body felt and inspired him to deepen his understanding of yoga by training in Rishikesh, India, widely recognised as the birthplace of yoga.
Bhavesh is passionate about sharing both the physical and mental benefits of yoga, believing the body moves best when the mind is at peace.
