Samantha Hare

"I came to the practice of yoga in 2002 when looking to find more focus and grounding in my life.Since then I have been consistent with that journey, exploring different practices and trainings and know first hand the many benefits it can bring.

Whether we are looking to improve strength, flexibility, coordination - physical abilities, or wishing to create relaxation, focus, space in our minds and our lives, I believe yoga has something to offer everybody, just starting with where we are at."

Sam will be teaching on Monday mornings: Beginners, Intermediate & Chair Yoga.

Jane Barnes

"I love sharing the transformational journey of yoga and seeing the positive results. I teach stressed people, how to relax and melt stress away through yoga, pranayama and meditation.

I do this through devising creative yoga sessions, empowering them with techniques to use on a daily basis, helping students to combat the negative impact of stress and teaching how to trigger the relaxation response.

Through carefully designed sessions, stress melts away, leaving the students feeling freer in mind and more flexible in body...ready to embrace life!"

Jane will be teaching Monday Evenings: Yin Yoga & Vinyasa Yoga.

Phil East

Phil was introduced to Tai Chi in 1988. He was 19, grappling with depression after the death of two school friends in a car accident and failing his A levels. He went to Australia for 6 months backpacking and was introduced to Qigong and he knew he had found a special place; a safe haven from life’s trauma.

After 17 years working Mental Health, Phil decided that 2020 is his year to share his love of Qigong with others and to help as many people as possible to find peace and tranquillity through the gentle but precise movements, breathing and emotional release techniques that are relaxing but energising at the same time.

Phil will be teaching on Tuesdays & Thursdays: Qigong & Chinese Tea Meditation.

Kate Hamilton-Kapur

"I teach the Yoga that works for me! When I get onto my mat, I treat it as a sanctuary and a place to bring myself back into balance. Life can be hard, joyful, beautiful, exhausting! And so I move mindfully, I focus on my breath and see what happens.
And this is the approach I take into my classes. I have a lesson plan and I know where we're going but I offer lots of choices so that everyone is in that space of tuning in and we go wherever that leads us!

The peak of my practice and classes is when we all sit together at the end with a Mudra and Meditate / sit quietly for 5 minutes before a 15 minute Yoga Nidra. My classes are all suitable for beginners."

Kate will be teaching on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and weekends.

Sasha Jones

"As a qualified Sports Rehabilitator I have a passion for helping people live an active and pain free lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoy teaching Pilates as I feel this gives people the tools to try and self-manage any injuries they may have or just as a gentle form of exercise that may prevent these from occurring.

As a lover of Pilates myself I decided to train to teach in 2017 through APPI and began teaching Pilates in 2018."

Sasha will be teaching on Thursday evenings: Pilates & Men's Stretch Class.
