Yoga therapy and mindfulness classes combining traditional yoga and science

From 54 £ /h

Hi, I’m Jana - yoga and movement therapist and mindfulness facilitator from Estonia. I’ve been practising yoga and meditation for more than 8 years, coming from hatha yoga background and enriching it with therapy methods, secular mindfulness practices and my academic background in mental health, nutrition and public health. My approach is a combination of traditions and modern science, which allowed me to create a unique mix of efficient, safe and sustainable practices.

I’m a certified yoga therapist and adaptive physical activity instructor so I’m able to tailor a practice to any needs. I’ve worked with a wide range of health problems starting from spinal disc herniations to different injuries. As a mindfulness facilitator, I’m working with stress management, including emotional reactivity, anxiety, panic attacks and many others. It is also possible to adapt the practice to individual inquiries such as improving concentration and memory, working on creativity or improving relationships or confidence.

I’ve done various of yoga-, mindfulness- and health-related courses and certifications, assisted in yoga and mindfulness study in Victoria University in Australia and currently involved in writing a research paper on mediation and yoga in collaboration with academics from different fields.

I teach hatha yoga, vinyasa, yin or restorative yoga. Although, usually my classes are the mix of different styles and approaches, including yoga and embodiment methods, mindfulness and meditation, counselling and other non-yoga techniques.

I usually teach 1- or 1,5-hour classes, individually or in groups, I can teach both online or face-to-face (outdoor or at your place). We can choose one focus (either yoga or mediation) or have a mix of everything.

I also offer nutrition and health counselling if you want to lose, gain or maintain weight, improve your eating habits or become more physically active.

Personalised sessions are great for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. With one-on-one attention, you can work towards a specific goal and learn ways to build your practice based on your specific needs.

Beginners will be introduced to the fundamentals of yoga and Pilates (postures, breath, philosophy) and can ask questions, break down postures and receive explicit alignment instructions. For those wanting to advance your practice, you will receive the teacher’s undivided attention as you explore postures, work through any obstacles and go deeper into your practice than you might do in a public class

Yoga is a powerful instrument that can help us to understand and grow confidence in our bodies and mind. It is fundamental in mental and physical wellbeing, and even just one session a week can make a difference to your life.

In this class, you will learn a range of asanas in depth, including their purpose and effects in your body. There will also be an abundance of yogic philosophy and techniques for meditation and pranayama (Breath-work). Each student will delve into their being and explore any blockages or stressed energy, and gradually smooth them out. Yoga is an ideal way to stay fit and healthy, and remove pressures from day to day life.

For this Class, I want to create an intimate and comfortable atmosphere for the student; all ages and levels of experience welcome. There will be a sequence of asanas, short teachings of yoga philosophy, and open discussions between teacher and student. Aside from the class, I am always an open ear for anyone in need, and will provide the best support I can.

The classes can be tailored to the student's needs and ability.
Just have a chat with me about what you want to learn - any specific poses or philosophies, or just general ideas.
I am able to provide sessions more similar to a workout for physical fitness and training, or a more relaxed class with in depth postures and open conversations.

Nutritionist and Living-Well Coach

Hello,

My name is Jay, a Nutritionist and Living-Well Coach in London who is driven by a desire to help people live optimally and purposefully realise their potential.

Background

I have travelled and lived in London and Los Angeles, helping people with demanding lives to achieve what every health conscious individual wants - a fundamentally healthful, harmonious and fulfilling life.

Over the last fifteen years, it has brought me immense joy to share my accumulated knowledge and experience in nutrition and wellness, understanding that every person is unique in what they are going through and, accordingly, I adapt myself to line up with the client’s vision for him/herself.

It was an inborn desire that fuelled me to want to attain self-actualisation initially, and (now) self-transcendence (overcoming the limiting imposter, the ego). It has been a personal journey, which has been ultimately rewarding, reflected in a deeply necessary and satisfying transformation in all areas of my life.

I went from losing enormous amounts of weight (17.5 stones down to 8.7 stones) in my twenties, and took the decisive action to show the proverbial red card to ego in favour of establishing and welcoming peace and balance. It was the greatest act of love for myself, and for others by extension. My spirit changed, and my outlook and zest for life became beautifully heightened, so much so that I no longer wanted to go back to the old way of ego. Everything in my life began falling into place, harmoniously and abundantly.

The hardest is going it alone, thinking no-one can relate. Unless, of course, you find someone who genuinely can. I am here to help.

There is no substitute for personal experience and I cherish every opportunity to share what I know and trust will be of immeasurable benefit to you. The world is transformed through our kind choices to share from the wealth in and from our hearts. I want everyone to live well and optimally. It is the birthright of every individual!

Music has always been a huge part of my life and I would be thrilled to pass on my knowledge. I studied music at university and have Grade 8 in both piano and vocals, but I have also performed in many different venues across the UK. I have helped previous students with stage-fright and anxiety with performing as well as aiding them learn their favourite songs on piano - and singing along at the same time. I can teach in many different piano styles from popular music to classical and I can also teach music theory.

I have a deep passion for traditional, holistic yogic practises and I understand that large classes can be overwhelming. I have found that Yoga is very individual, and with gentle 1:1 guidance, has lots room for personal growth. I can teach poses, breathing techniques and meditation to help us feel the best we can.

All my lessons will be tailored to each student, we will discuss together the goals of the practise, and provide the balance of learning, but also making it fun and enjoyable and a space to relax.

This class will involve an opening meditation, warm up, sequence of flows, closing meditation and savasana.

Each class will focus on a different theme, whether be building towards a peak pose, honing in on a chakra or working on strengthening/mobilising a specific part of the body. This can be requested by the client.

Hannah teaches open & friendly Vinyasa flow classes accompanied by mood boosting playlists, where we will interweave work on strength and stability. She uses the breath as a core element of the practice, helping students connect with themselves throughout.

Whether you are looking to increase flexibility, gain strength or feel more grounded in your everyday life, her classes will offer a space to take what you need on any given day. Hannah passionately believe that yoga is for everybody’s body and always give variations and modifications so the practice can be accessed by all. She also gives gentle offerings of assists, adjustments and breathing techniques that can be used on and off the mat.

You'll be encouraged to meet yourself on the mat, practice with self acceptance, and leave feeling centered and content!

This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind.

For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’.

We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome!

A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body.

The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.

The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and
healing.

The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system.

The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit.

I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

Yoga Nidra is a sacred practice of conscious rest, where the body sleeps while awareness remains awake. Rooted in the ancient yogic tradition, this guided journey gently draws attention inward, allowing the nervous system to settle and the mind to enter a deeply receptive state.

The practice begins with breath awareness and body sensing, followed by the setting of a Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention planted in the fertile ground between waking and sleep. Gentle mantra vibrations and guided imagery support the release of physical, mental, and emotional layers, leading toward a sense of wholeness and inner stillness.

In this liminal state, the fluctuations of the mind soften, echoing the yogic understanding that true rest arises not from sleep alone, but from presence. Yoga Nidra nourishes clarity, emotional balance, creativity, and deep renewal.

Suitable for all levels, this practice invites you to rest, realign, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
