Emma Arscott

Emma’s intention is to create an inspiring space for joy and transformation through yoga, meditation and breathwork. She truly believes that there is so much wisdom within the yoga practice that can reconnect our mind, body and soul and is passionate about making yoga available to as many people as possible.

She trained to teach yoga in Rishikesh, India, the home and heart of yoga and is extremely grateful to all of her amazing teachers she has worked with and learned from. Like a lot of people, she first came to the practice for the physical aspect and very quickly realised that there was a certain magic beyond the poses. The positive effects that the practice generated started to trickle into all aspects of her life and were so profound she felt called to share it with others.

Emma loves to blend modern anatomy teachings with traditional yogic philosophy to create well rounded sessions where you can learn about the fascinating biomechanics of your body, while giving your mind some well needed time and space away from the pressures of daily life. You can expect to be challenged in a slow, yet strong alignment-based flow to strengthen, tone and soothe your body. You will explore and connect through movement and breathwork keeping mindfulness at the heart of the practice. Each class will have a different focus, and there will always be options to make sure you’re practicing the right way for your body. You will finish the sessions feeling uplifted, nourished and refreshed ready to take on the world!

Her approach is to lead you through yin & yang classes that often begin with a slower more restorative practice with longer holds to help you unwind. Transitioning into a more dynamic vinyasa-based flow to allow you to leave the space feeling energised.

Her love for yin has been developed with trainings with Norman Blair and most recently Bernie Clarke.

Ali Gilling

Ali is a trauma-informed breathwork practitioner, yoga and mindfulness meditation teacher who has been travelling extensively around the globe as a nomadic Yogini for over 25 years, running retreats and workshops since 1999.

Her journey began when she headed off to India in 1993, discovering ashram life and met her first teacher on the river Ganges in Varanasi where she dived deep into spiritual India, living there for two years and studying 1-2-1 with her teacher.

Out of all the transformative principles Ali has studied and practised for almost 3 decades, she believes there is nothing for powerful than the breath. Discovering breathwork several years ago, her teachings now take a somatic approach. The emphasis is on the power of the breath to release stuck and stored emotions in the body, with gentle yoga movements that are slow resourcing on the body’s intelligence to support conscious breakthroughs and awareness through mindfulness enquiry.

Ali continues to expand her knowledge through training and personal development. Her passion is to support others, not just to feel better but to get better at feeling. She offers a heartfelt space to empower people to improve their physical and mental wellbeing, embarking on their own journey of self-discovery and personal transformation.

Belle Greenwood

Belle took up yoga 30 years ago, prompted by back pain as a teenager. Through regular practice she discovered a positive shift not only physically, but – like a bubble of oxygen rising up through turbulent waters – also in terms of clarity to choose the next best step forward.

Her desire to joyfully share this underpins her teaching since 2003 with formal teacher trainings including Yoga Therapy Diploma, Satyananda & Sivananda traditions, and extended study & travel in India.  Many years of Astanga Vinyasa, Iyengar & Scaravelli practice also inform her yoga journey.

For the past 15 years, Belle has lead retreats internationally, bringing both her skills in practice & her experience of global travel to create safe & positive spaces for transformational yoga experiences.

Through Yoga Therapy, Belle safely adapts practices for those with compromised health & for whom individual or small group classes are more appropriate. Her Satyananda training in classical teachings of asana, pranayama, mantra, meditation & Yoga Nidra continue to be a rich seam to mine, especially when the ability to practice dynamic asana is limited.

Since 2006, her London base is the lovely studios & home of Siobhan Davies Contemporary Dance, running weekly classes, workshops & 121 Yoga Therapy.

Mantra has been at the heart of 20 years of Buddhist practice & as a singer songwriter, Belle enjoys sharing voice, guitar & song on retreats & in class.

Molly Harragin

Molly found yoga in 2009 in Bali. Not gym yoga but the kind of yoga that seeps deep into your bones.  It was a complete awakening, like seeing the world properly for the first time. She got a tattoo of Ganesh on her neck and things have never been the same.

Molly’s first yoga training was an intensive Jivamukti Yoga teacher training in Dorset which she followed with what she felt was a much needed year apprenticeship to establish the art of teaching. Jivamukti was very popular then so she was lucky to get work at yoga studios in London straight away and began slowly to teach on retreats around the world.

A few years later she did an 18 month yoga therapy diploma to learn more about working with people with injuries and illness. This changed her attitude towards yoga and she began to slow down her practice and respect the often much needed body’s innate healing capacities.

Since then Molly has taught and studied around the world taking courses in yoga nidra, thai yoga massage, EFT, yin yoga, and most currently an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regents University. Molly believes that yoga is much more than just movement. It is a science and a way of life that can keep you happy and healthy at all levels.
