Julee Yew-Crijns
Julee's classes are playful, dynamic and flowing, sequenced to take you into a different peak pose each time. This is the way of Prana Flow yoga, focused on moving with the breath, and tuning in to the body's intelligent alignment, to find balanced action in your practice and leave each class feeling lifted.
Marc Laws

Rishin Paonaksar
Yoga Alliance RYT 200 (Power Yoga)
Rishin grew up in India, and although yoga was taught at his school, he didn't take it up until several years later to recuperate from a cycling injury. In 2012, he left a career in banking to start his own food business and also completed his 200 hour Yoga Alliance training at Hot Power yoga. He has since then trained as a myofascial body worker with senior Forrest yoga teachers Jambo Truong and Brian Campbell and as a yoga sports coach with the Institute of Yoga Sport Science. He teaches classes and workshops at studios around London as well as online classes.
Jon Cinque
Jon's first yoga experience was a packed donation-based class in New York with three inches between mats. Despite shaking limbs and a sweat-soaked mat, he found himself in a unique state after the hour, enjoying a vigorously energized body and creatively awakened mind. Through big changes and depressive episodes, yoga has been the stabilizing constant giving the opportunity to ground the body in a physical routine and ease the mind of stresses. After living benefits of a yoga practice for years, he pursued teacher training in London to share the practice with loved ones and new friends.
Yvonne Manzi
Sivananda Yoga Vedanta School Yoga Alliance RYT 200 (Sivananda Yoga)
Having grown up in a family of yogis, for Yvonne yoga is a lifestyle. She began to take her practice seriously while at university, and ultimately completed her RYT 200 teacher training with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta School. Her classes are energizing and challenging, always following the classical Sivananda tradition with some variation. She values the importance of adapting each class in order to meet the student’s present needs and feelings, and always maintains a friendly, relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.
Melina Kirtata
Melina was born and grew up in Athens, where she graduated from the State School of Dance in 2003. During her prevocational attendance at school, she had sparse contact with Hatha yoga. That’s when her passion for yoga began. She decided to learn yoga in schools abroad, such as in Belgium and Amsterdam. Her most profound approach in Hatha yoga began with the teacher Andrea Provellengio, taking more substantial knowledge not only on the science of anatomy, psychology, but also on its philosophy. After training with Tanya Popovich, she moved and started teaching Hatha and Aerial yoga in Corfu.
Flavia Cerrone
British Wheel of Yoga (Yoga)
Yoga Alliance International (Yoga)
When she first started practicing yoga, Flavia was surprised by the benefits she could experience after class, especially the sense of happiness and gratitude in addition to the physical well being. Life seemed a little easier after yoga and she resolved that she wanted to go deeper. She graduated from the triyoga teacher training program with distinctive grades under Jean Hall and Mimi Kuo-Deemer. She is now a British Wheel of Yoga and Yoga Alliance professional registered teacher and she is currently teaching assistant on the triyoga teacher training program.

She practices at the Centre de Formations et de Consultations en Kinésiologie (CCFK) in Paris, which she founded with Sophie Pascual and Anne Wojtyna. Her two passions have led her to create Ki’Danza, a method that combines dance and kinesiology.
Jasmine Pradhan

Her early upbringing between Nepal and the Sussex countryside has instilled a deep love a deep love for nature in her.

Kate Lister
Kate found yoga the tender age of 14, and her practice has become increasingly important throughout her life. With a background in Ashtanga, training in Vinyasa Flow and Yin yoga, and an aversion to taking life too seriously, Kate shares playful, dynamic, breath-led sequencing with a focus on mindful alignment. She encourages students to find a personal practice in each class, so that they may cultivate their own yoga and experience the many ways in which it expands all areas of our human life. Also a professional singer, when Kate’s not on a yoga mat, she’ll likely be at the piano.
Angie Pollacchi
Angie strongly believes in working with your body, rather than against it. Everybody's body is different and she encourages you to explore, celebrate and focus on your yoga practice, no one else’s! She creates practices that acknowledge individual body differences, contribute to strengthening and conditioning the body and the mind but primarily focus on encouraging a sense of self-awareness, compassion and care within a safe environment.
Ashley Ahrens
Ashley started taking yoga classes in 2010 at the Sattva School of Yoga in Edmonton, Canada. After experiencing several losses, a friend recommended she try yoga. She was keen to try anything and gave yoga a go, albeit skeptical as she has a background in science, and had never heard of mindfulness before. Having never been a fan of physical activity, she enjoyed the challenge that yoga offered. She began noticing the profound effects yoga was having off of the mat. She felt much more focused, and daily stresses and anxieties started to become insignificant.
Luna Anderson
Movement and exploration of one's self is what first drew Luna to yoga. She treats her asanas like a dance for the mind and body, knitting together the emotional and physical aspects of Yoga harmoniously. She found yoga or rather yoga truly found her a few years back, after leaving the world of dance behind due to an on-going struggle with her health. She had dabbled in a few classes throughout her teens, but the extent of what yoga can do for the mind and body didn’t come to her until she had reached a particularly challenging point in her life.
Becky Crepsley-Fox
In Becky's classes, you can expect creative sequencing and a strong emphasis on the breath. Becky is very good at adapting a class to mixed level groups, always teaching with many variations so everyone in the class can practice to their own abilities. On the retreat, the morning classes will be based on uplifting energetic energies giving you the vitality you need for the day and the evening classes will be based around grounding energies to get you relaxed and ready for a good nights sleep. Becky now lives in north London with her partner and 3 cats, teaches 5 styles of yoga.
Fern Ross

Associate Level 2 Yoga Alliance International (Yoga)
Fern has a love of alignment and teaches grounded yet playful flows. Students are encouraged to experience and embrace the simple joy of being in your body and mind that this beautiful practice brings. She first discovered yoga in 2007, and in 2015, she signed up to do her 200 hours with Stretch London and Frog Lotus Yoga, and graduated later that year. She’s been teaching ever since and completed trainings in pregnancy yoga with Nadia Narain and Triyoga, Yin yoga with the incredible Norman Blair, and a six-month mentorship with the inimitable Naomi Absalom.
Allie Rimanic

With a degree in health science, a love of movement, and her dance background, Allie enjoys teaching dynamic flows and facilitating the connection between breath, body, and soul. Allie also teaches Acro Yoga and is passionate about the practice and its ability to cultivate trust, connection and community. Allie has committed to living her yoga on and off the mat and continues to delve into the richness of yogic philosophy as well as the physical practices.
Darren Hunter
When curious, adventurous and reckless Darren discovered yoga, it was a baptism of fire but he immediately felt the benefits as the practice built both strength and flexibility helping him to continue hiking up mountains, cycling across the country and swimming in the sea. Also an advocate of the benefits of the deeper philosophy of yoga, Darren aspires to weave the ancient spiritual practice with fun creative flow, linking it to the modern world through storytelling and having a laugh. Expect his classes to be strong and mindful leaving you with a new perspective both in body and mind.
Sammy Furnival
Yoga Alliance RYT 200 (Yoga)
After discovering the transformational benefits yoga, and beginning a journey towards mindfulness, self-love and light, Sammy traveled to India to complete her 200hr yoga teacher training. Forever learning, Sammy now practices and teaches regularly across London, as well as in Europe and India. Her classes aim to empower and invigorate, regardless of whether you are a yoga jedi or a yoga newbie. Using creative sequencing, rooted in strong breath her classes both ground and balance. You can expect a non-judgemental setting, a mindful theme to sink your teeth into and good dose of playfulness.
Hannah Almond
Hannah discovered yoga whilst training to become an actress over 14 years ago and hasn't stopped getting on the mat since. Hannah completed her 200 hours yoga alliance training in 2013 with Hot Power Yoga and then returned to further her studies with a year long mentorship programme. Having taught at surf camps and retreats, she is now head of yoga at BLOK London.
Sarah Powdrill
With a strong background in strength and conditioning, personal training as well as competing in competitive running, Sarah was always taking part in physical challenges. For a long time, she felt that yoga was boring or too slow for her but after attending a yoga retreat 4 years ago, that mindset began to change. Slowly, she started to build the habit of practicing for just 10 minutes per day no matter how she felt and over time this grew into a deep love for the strength and grace both physically and mentally that time on her mat was adding to her life.

Retreat location

Offering a beautiful yet tranquil alternative to the bustling, cosmopolitan beach of Acharavi, Almyros is a peaceful paradise escape, perfect for those looking to take a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Almyros is located in the Corfu Island, Greece.

In addition to its picturesque setting, relaxed way of life and delectable food, the Greek island of Corfu is also steeped in cultural history. The origins of Corfu can be traced back as far as Greek mythology. The island's Greek name, Kerkyra, is related to two powerful water symbols; Poseidon, God of the sea, and Asopos, a prominent Greek river.

According to the myth, the God of the sea Poseidon fell in love with the beautiful nymph Korkyra and took her to this stunning but unnamed island. In marital bliss, Poseidon named the island Korkyra after his wife. This name gradually evolved throughout time to the Greek name of Kerkyra, which the island retains to this day.

In addition to Greek mythology, the island's history is also full of battles and conquests. With castles enclosing the islands capital Corfu town, it has been officially declared a Kastropolis, or castle city by the Greek government.

A picturesque landscape

With its rich, mountainous landscape, Corfu offers a beautiful view to its visitors. The Northern area of the island has preserved its natural and architectural environment, making it popular with visitors and locals alike.

Dominated by mountains, the island has a never ending expanse of rolling hills and blossoming trees, bursting with lush vegetation. Coastal areas offer tranquil white sandy beaches, while the shimmering blue sea provides a perfect backdrop to the green Corfiot countryside.
