Sarah

Founder of Physio Flow, Class Instructor and Physiotherapist

Sarah is a Chartered Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor and Yoga teacher.

Sarah travelled to Abhinam Yoga Centre in Goa, Western India, to complete her intensive Yoga teacher training which is accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals. Goa provided the perfect melting pot of oriental and occidental culture. The relaxed atmosphere, beaming sunshine, calm Arabian sea and white sand beaches provided an ideal platform to develop her physical practice as well as explore the spiritual and emotional facets that yoga entails.

Sarah works as a Senior Physiotherapist at Physio Flow. She has built a broad repertoire of skills, having worked with sports teams such as Harlequins RFC and as a Senior Physiotherapist in the NHS. She has a specialist interest in antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy. Sarah graduated with distinction in MSc Physiotherapy from the University of Southampton.

Outside her clinical work, Sarah is a keen sportswoman having competed internationally in Taekwondo, achieving a bronze medal at the 2014 Taekwondo World Cup in Jamaica. She continues to practise martial arts, ran her first full marathon in 2018, and is a keen surfer and snowboarder.

Tatiana

I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years and have taught it to friends and work colleagues in 4different countries, but it wasn’t until a few years ago when I settled in theUK and finally had the opportunity to complete a comprehensive 18-month-longYoga Teacher Training and become a fully qualified yoga teacher.

Since then, I have taught a variety of classes and courses face-to-face and online to students from allover the world and continued my yoga journey with further education focusing onYoga History /Philosophy and Sanskrit as I'm deeply interested the roots of yoga.

As a teacher, my motto is: “They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel”. So whether it is a dynamic Vinyasa Flow or a Restorative Yin class, I want my students to feel great about themselves, on and off the mat, and I am grateful that I can do it through sharing my love for yoga with others.

Ainsley

Hi, I'm Ainsley and I'm a newly qualified yoga teacher. I found yoga during the lockdown of 2020 and decided that I was going to take a leap of faith and qualify as a teacher. I have loved every step of the journey and each milestone brings about something new and exciting from teaching to a hall full of university students to setting up my own classes and now teaching at an established studio with other amazing teachers.

Jo has been practicing yoga for almost 20 years and during that time has explored many styles of yoga and had the privilege of meeting many teachers.

Wanting to dive deeper into the practice Jo studied Seasonal Yoga, a 200 hour Yoga Alliance course which is centred around the energy of each season and includes elements of T’ai Chi and Qigong.

She has remained a student of her teacher in Surrey and is currently working towards her advanced teacher training qualification.

Yoga is a huge part of Jo’s life and the practice has supported her over the years during good times and more challenging times.

More recently, Jo completed her Menopause Yoga Teacher Training with the British Wheel of Yoga enabling her to offer supportive and nourishing classes to those going through the menopause.

Sioned enjoys a mix of dynamic yoga flow and yin/restorative elements which she will be looking to integrate into her classes.
