About Mary Anne - "I started practicing Bikram Yoga fifteen years ago after my daughter suggested I try it for my lower back pain. After years of running and long distance driving, I struggled to get out of bed some mornings and bending over to put shoes on was impossible. After practicing for 3-4 weeks my back pain had gone, I felt so much better and was in love with this healing practice. I love teaching others and watching their postures change over time. Also seeing their overall physical and mental well-being improve. As a mother of five and granny to six, I want to have a long, healthy and happy life. I believe practicing this challenging yoga has set me on my way."

Pedro practised his first hot yoga class in 2016, he struggled through it and hated it. But not one to let anything get the better of him he persisted and the constant back pain from working in hospitality, paving, and stonemasonry, was gone. He has been practising ever since!
When Inferno Hot HIIT Pilates was introduced he gave it a go and has been hooked ever since. He believes that these two practises are the perfect combination for a healthy body and mind. Pedro encourages everybody from all walks of life, any body shape and fitness level to come give it go, and loves helping and watching people progress through their fitness journey

Cheryl is our beautiful talented Sound Bath lady! Pop up classes, next one November 19th at 5pm. 75min Sound Healing Session.
Enjoy a Sound Bath full of healing vibrations from a wide range of singing bowls. Such a beautiful way enhance your self-care. The bowls frequencies have the ability to entrain the brain and entice it to slow down. This makes it ideal for those who find it hard to relax and also very helpful for experienced meditators who want to dive deeper. Clears blockages and activates Chakras, bringing more of a sense of grounding and harmony. 75mins NON HEATED class, lay in peace in Savadana while the bowls are being played to you. Bring a pillow, Yoga Mat and towel or throw.
