“Being a Public Health Nutritionist (Bsc Hons Human Nutrition) and Yoga Alliance accredited teacher I am really passionate about encouraging health & positive wellbeing to all. I first discovered yoga whilst at university and still remember the feeling of happiness after completing my first class. Yoga began to play a more important role in my life after realising the positive effect it was having on how I viewed the world, treated others and myself.
I really love experimenting with yoga and have completed several teacher trainings; AntiGravity aerial yoga, 200hr Yogahaven Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga with David Swenson and most recently Rocket Yoga. I really do love ‘all the yoga’ and particularly enjoy Vinyasa flow, Ashtanga, Jivamukti, Dharma and Yin. I believe that yoga is the union of the mind, body and spirit, a place where we can find stillness on and off the mat, I believe that without compassion there is no yoga.
My classes are based on ‘Lila’ or ‘leela’ Sanskrit loosely translated as ‘playful’, a journey of self-discovery, compassion, imagination, laughter and overall playfulness. Within my classes there is no pressure or competition merely the desire to learn from that pure, curious, childlike state within.
I am the owner of Yogalicious Yoga and Wellness studio in Shrewsbury which was one of my biggest dreams. This is a place where people can come and find their own individual yoga journey hopefully falling in love with the practice. I love teaching and regularly teach Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, yin, rocket, meditation and yoga nidra.”

“I have been doing different physical activities since I was 10 years old. Being an energetic and self-motivated teenager, it wasn’t too hard to train in different sports during the same day: Rollerblading, Climbing, Freerunning, Capoeira, Slacklining and Acrobatics just to name a few.
After graduating with a Master Degree in “Leisure Activities and Extreme Sports” I am fully dedicated to sharing my knowledge and sports experience with other people.
At the moment I work as a Personal Trainer and Partner Acrobatics coach in London and from time to time I travel internationally to teach my “Training for Acro” workshop and share my knowledge with the local AcroYoga communities.
My goal is to help people to get stronger and more flexible for Acrobatics. I’ve been practising many disciplines but none of them makes me happier than Partner Acrobatics and AcroYoga. I particularly like it because it requires no equipment, just another person that’s it, also you enjoy it from the first day having no previous experience and this is amazing. When I work with someone for the first time I get to establish a connection based on trust and this can last a lifetime.
When I help people I get filled with energy as I really love what I do. Then I pass this energy on to others in their process of achieving a higher level of fitness through different activities. All these fun activities lead to an improved quality of life.”
