I discovered Pilates in 2006 when I started going to studio sessions at Thirdspace and then Tranquillity Pilates in London. After a few sessions I started to see changes in my body, back pain was disappearing, I was getting stronger and so I became addicted.

In these sessions I was getting both physical and mental improvement from my Pilates practice and was reaping the benefits for days after. It was in those sessions that I thought – I would love to do this and this is when my true Pilates journey began.

To become a true Pilates teacher is a massive commitment it includes 700 hours of teaching, observation and training, so in 2011 I decided to enrol in  my teacher training with Balanced Body under Tranquillity Pilates. Other the years I have studied various lineages and now focus on the classical work, and have been lucky to learn from Dana Santi who studied with Romana and Jay Grimes, who is now my key teacher and mentor.

I have always wanted to help other people, whether it be through overcoming back pain, helping with anxiety/depression, helping women during and after pregnancy or working with sports professionals to enhance their current training regime. 

It’s always great watching clients become stronger, flexible, improve bad postural habits and fall in love with this method. I have seen over the years 
how amazing the human body is and the ability it has to heal itself when trained well.

I look forward to meeting and working with you on your journey.

Elaine is a drama teacher working in Peckham and living in Crystal Palace.

Her practice began after studying European Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford then going on to co-found the theatre company SoundBoxed in 2013. SoundBoxed explored actor musicality in relation to live drums and creating extreme characters in dark, atmospheric spaces. She has worked in venues across London including Barbican, BAC and Theatre Delicatessen. After her theatre company separated in 2016 Elaine freelanced as a performer in primarily immersive events, including the immersive city at Boom Town Festival.

She has been teaching drama in secondary schools since 2021 and loves sharing her passion for drama.

Elaine believes drama workshops are liminal spaces in which people can play and relate to other human beings in an extra-daily way. We rarely set time aside to play and explore our imaginations together as adults, the experience is uplifting and can create strong bonds. They are also a space to understand ourselves from different perspectives by breaking our habitual routines and expectations of ourselves, allowing us to understand the varied abilities we have and building a deeper confidence.

In her workshops she leads a selection of theatre games and improvisation activities that evolve with the group who attend. Elaine uses images, text, objects and chosen themes to inspire creativity. After developing the group through a process of theatre games Elaine will introduce more complex scene building, with the potential to work towards devising short performances.

My own adventures in yoga began 25 years ago, and naturally progressed into training to teach. Along the way, I've picked up a few specialisms including Yoga for Pelvic Floor, Pranayama and Yoga Nidra, and took the journey to becoming an Advanced Restorative Yoga Teacher.

I'm committed to creating inclusive spaces, where everyone is encouraged to listen to and appreciate their own body with all its capabilities. My classes focus on mindful and functional movement, breathing and relaxation, helping people to find balance in busy city living.

Classes are suitable for all levels, beginners as well as those who want to deepen their practice, refine somatic awareness and take yoga beyond physicality. My goal is to help strengthen, relax and create space in body and mind.

​

As well as teaching yoga, I'm also a Functional Medicine health and energy coach and EFT practitioner, focusing on helping people with overwhelm, stress, burnout and big life changes. I infuse this knowledge into my classes to build balanced energy and encourage a healthy nervous system.

I'm a Wellbeing Coach focused uniquely on helping teens and young people to carryOn/calm with Mindfulness & 'Goal-Getting' mentoring sessions.

I also have a real interest and passion for the importance of emotional wellbeing in the early years and support this currently with Baby Massage workshops and courses instilled in Mindfulness for Parents.

Mindfulness is about living more in the present moment, appreciating where we are and what we’re doing and learning to self-regulate to not be overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

While mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, we’re able to tune into it more when we practice the techniques on a regular basis, with yoga, meditation, breathwork etc.

For me, Baby Massage is about encouraging the positive relationship between parents and their baby’s.

It’s one of the earliest classes that your baby can benefit from using their first language – before they understand words or even see clearly, they can feel.

Loving touch is so powerful for us all – for comfort and as a direct transfer of kind and safe connection.

I want to help to build the foundations of positive parenting in this way from the start; through bonding, nurturing and promoting this peaceful practice for parents and their babies to also carryOn/calm throughout their journeys.

Christina started her yoga journey over 20 years ago as a way to overcome lower back pain and with regular practice she started to feel the benefits of increased flexibility, strength and relaxation. Yoga helped bring her balance, self-awareness and support through health issues, pregnancy and motherhood and inspired her to help others discover the tools to bring balance to their lives. Through her yoga teaching, she hopes to share the benefits of yoga with others to help bring them an increased sense of physical and mental well-being.

​

Christina teaches yoga with an emphasis on breath and good alignment. Her classes link breath with movement, aiming to create a mindful practice that increases a sense of connection with the body and breath.

She enjoys teaching yoga to a range of ages and abilities and finding ways to empower people to improve their own wellbeing, strength and range of movement.

I am a Yoga teacher with a past as a hip-hop dancer (what a combination, I know!). As an introvert I have always loved anything that has to do with movement and creativity, as a way of expressing my inner world. Also, caring for and supporting people has always been in my nature.

Since I can remember the attraction to Yoga and spirituality has always been part of my life, but it started to become very clear when I joined my first university course in anthropology and eastern philosophies, where this fascinating and immense world started to unfold under my eyes. This inspired me to focus first on my spiritual journey and after, on my asana and pranayama practice.

I truly believe that Yoga is a continuous and transformative life journey that changed the life of many, and the best way to understand this, is by experiencing it, on the mat and in life.

In my teaching I combine my knowledge of Yoga, Pranayama (as a very powerful tool to connect with and heal ourselves) and eastern philosophies, with my passion for supporting others in their personal and unique life journey, adults and kids.

I hope you will give me the honour to be part of yours and to share my practice with you.

I love sharing these powerful tools and the ancient teachings which empower you to empower yourself.

I was blown away and fascinated the first time I experienced a gong bath. From that very first moment I was in total awe with these handcrafted instruments. I now can’t imagine life without a gong.

While playing the gongs I channel energy and let that guide me. Every session is unique and can never be repeated, it is what it is in that moment. To me that is like nature, like watching a river or waves in the sea, they come and go, flow by; a scent of a pine tree in the woods, the experience in that one moment, that is, but cannot be grasped.

I see myself like a conduit for the sound to come into being. So I am not a healer, but the receiving of the created sound waves and vibrations might stimulate one’s body to activate its own self-healing abilities and positive energy. And all that is what I enjoy to share with others. I draw inspiration from my shamanic practice & journeying, as well from my own experiences of working in stressful work environment / industry and from her own healing journey through which I see & realised that sometimes we just need a safe space where we can stop the thinking & talking and just be…

I have practiced different styles of yoga for most of my adult life . 10 years ago I ‘discovered ‘ Kundalini Yoga,  found it life-changing and eventually undertook teacher training so that I could share the benefits with others.

Kundalini Yoga has been called the yoga of awareness . Using posture, breath work and the chanting of mantra, it enables a greater connection between  our minds , bodies, spirits.

No previous experience of Kundalini or other yoga is  necessary . Just let me know if you are new to the practice and any health issues that may impact.

She guides mothers towards reclaiming their postpartum journey by working together to craft personalised health plans, incorporating accessible steps that nurture recovery through nutrition, mindful movement, and pragmatic strategies to navigate the shifts of motherhood.

As part of the health plan, she provides resources as well as tailored Yoga Therapy. She strongly encourages clients to book at least two follow-up appointments to review and adapt health plans, as she is committed to supporting and encouraging mothers every step of the way.

I found myself at a yoga class many years ago. At first, it was a means to keep myself in the best condition mentally and physically. As a young actress, I saw it as a way to keep my ‘instrument’ well. 

​

The practice became more and more absorbing and in 2000, I took my first yoga teacher training.

As it was in Kundalini yoga, where mantra plays a huge role, I quickly connected with some wonderful devotional musicians. 

​

I’ve completed further trainings and studies in hatha, flow, yin and more.

​

I love to combine elements of these systems, the chakras, and the elements with sound to create a unique offering where I hope you can take time to find balance, calm and inspiration.

​

I hope you’ll join Zoot and me for a heart-opening sound experience.
