Meet The Teachers

Lorna has been practicing yoga for about 20 years. Having finished her first 200 hour teaching training in 2010 she went on to do Ashtanga and Anusara Training Immersions and a 300 hour advanced level training in Embodied Flow. She combines all her training to date with her many years of personal practice to teach a fluid vinyasa style of yoga that invites her students to fully embody the practice. Her classes are designed to strengthen and make space in the body and mind, utilising the power of the breath and a felt sense of the body to stop gripping, to start grounding and to experience a real sense of freedom.

Since studying Hatha Yoga and the Eden Method and turning many corners in her life, Sian began to feel happy (from the heart) and experienced a purpose she had not felt before. Having experienced these benefits, Sian’s aim is to share them with you and so she has brought her learnings together to create a powerful holistic combination. In this integrated approach we bring awareness into the body; away from what tends to be an over-busy, negative mind to a calmness within us to enjoy a full, expansive and joyful life. Remember that we start from where we are. Yoga is for everyone who want to make positive changes in themselves for the greater good.

Cliff’s classes are geared to accommodate all sorts of bodies and abilities, using basic Yoga poses to work on strength, balance and flexibility, and simple breath practices to ease the body, and to focus the mind. We will push ourselves up to (and never over) our limit, and rest at any time we need to, without any judgement. We will also find some ease and comfort, to let our bodies recover, and our nervous systems process what we’ve done. So, if this sounds like it might be right for you, and you’re interested in giving it a try, message Cliff to enquire about joining him for a class.

Michael grew up with plenty of freedom to lead an active life. After several injuries sport took the back burner since every attempt at returning to sports ended in recurring injuries.

Discovering yoga in his early fifties proved to be the way forward for him to perform beyond the restrictions of the old injuries.

Michael’s interest lies in helping others rediscover their connection to their own body, to anchor our mind and bring space into ourselves.

For over 3 decades Michael has practised traditional acupuncture and massage. He gained a deep appreciation of the individuality of our lives. For the past 7 years, he offers yoga classes in a caring, supportive manner, encouraging the individual to achieve their goals.

His aim is to bring mindfulness, fitness and joy to anyone who is looking to improve their well-being and expand their lives through the practice of Dru Yoga & Breathwork.

Hugo has practiced yoga for over 20 years, studying and training in Iyengar Yoga, named after B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014) who is credited with bringing the ancient practice of Yoga from India to the Western World. Iyengar developed yoga to be much more accessible to all, aided by the introduction of props which are all available at the Chepstow Yoga Space. Hugo has learned over the years from senior teachers who have all been directly taught by B.K.S. Iyengar.

The path to becoming a fully certified Iyengar yoga teacher is thorough to the extent that it is a minimum 6-year process. At over 5 years through this process, Hugo is currently teaching one class group by invitation only. He is looking forward to being able to extend that to open enrolment soon and welcomes enquiries on the contact details here

Heather is a fully qualified Pilates teacher whose aim is to help others gain the same benefits from Pilates that she has experienced herself. She is an active mum of 3 who loves gardening, horse-riding, hill walking and looking after her many animals. Although she has dabbled in Yoga for many years, she began focusing on Pilates 5 years ago whilst rehabilitating from a difficult shoulder injury. Pilates helped her to regain her strength and mobility whilst undergoing and following on from the Physio that was required. She was stunned by the benefits Pilates offered and after 4 years decided to train in teaching Pilates to share her experience.

As a former secondary school and early years teacher she has vast experience in delivering clear and structured teaching methods. Her teaching ethos puts everyone at ease with encouragement and individual focused attention whilst helping everyone reach their full potential. She considers teaching a true skill and has thoroughly enjoyed her Pilates instructor career so far. Her other part time occupations include Floristry (in which she also teaches workshops) and administration for their family business.

She is a level 3 qualified Pilates instructor (fully insured) and is currently working towards achieving her level 4.

If you’re looking to rehabilitate from injury, improve your core strength or flexibility then Pilates could be for you. It could help you to manage conditions such as Osteoporosis, Arthritis and Hypermobility. It can also play a key role in managing back pain. If Pilates sounds like it could benefit you then please get in touch with Heather to book in to a class or perhaps even a 1:1 booking.
