Julie Ayres

Qualifications: Diploma in Fitness & Nutrition 1992 AOGB Step Instructor 1992 AFAA Group Exercise Instructor 1996 BSY Hatha Yoga Teacher Certicate 2004 Freestyle Fitness Yoga Certificate 2004

Having taught exercise for 17 years, I have always had an underlying interest in yoga and discovered Freestyle Fitness Yoga five years ago at a workshop with Jayne Nicholls previous 'fitness leader of the year'. She had developed this new contemporary approach to an ancient practice. I wanted a yoga style that challenged every muscle, was graceful and flowing and lively enough to keep me interested. I found it all in Freestyle Fitness Yoga. Freestyle Fitness Yoga is a fitness programme that incorporates deep stretch, Yoga postures and Pilates exercises. Every element of FFY is validated from a fitness perspective. Postures can be sequenced together to create fluid, graceful moves which will increase strength, flexiblity and core stability in an exciting and challenging way. It is suitable for beginners through to advanced as postures can be modified and you will know that you have worked! There is a well deserved 10 minutes of relaxation at the end of each session.

Vicki Austin

'I started teaching Yoga 8 years ago after deciding that my chosen profession (PR and Marketing) was no longer for me. I had practised Yoga for about 5 years and found it calmed me and helped me manage a busy and stressful job.' Vicki trained with the Sivananda Vedanta Organisation, a tradionalist Yoga organzation based in India and founded by the great yogi and teachings of Swami Sivananda. Training is based on the ancient gurukula teaching system which integrates the student's daily life in an ashram (yoga retreat centre) as a fundamental part of the teacher training course itself. This allows for a firm foundation on which to build a teaching vocation, self discipline, self practice and an awareness of the true nature of yoga. Vicki is based in Buckinghamshire and teaches general classes in the area.

Bella Galt

Bella was introduced to yoga by her grandmother. In 1996 she explored yoga in the ashrams of Rishikesh,India, moving to Lao in 1997 where she met her first inspirational yoga teacher, Sally Sizemore and dedicated herself to regular practice of hatha yoga. In 2000 she left Laos for Canada to complete Sivananda Yoga teacher training and karma yoga in the ashram in Val Morin, before returning to London. Bella began daily Ashtanga Yoga practice in 2001 under the guidance of her mentor Hamish Hendry, apprenticing in adjustments and assisting teaching Mysore Style classes with Hamish, Roberta Giannotti and Denise Christian at Astanga Yoga in London until moving to Oxford in 2009. She met Guruji Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and family Sharath and Saraswati in 2002 in London, practicing with them in their London workshops from 2002-2006 and at the Krishna Patthabhi Jois Astanga Yoga Institutue (KPJAYI) i Mysore since 2006, returning for extended study as much as possible ever since. It is a blessing to practice Ashtanga Yoga and share these transformative practices with others. Thank you to all our teachers.
