Sarah has been exploring Yoga for over a decade and is 500 hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher

Sarah is particularly inspired by Vinyasa Yoga and its ability to create freedom and liberation in the body. Her teaching embodies the skill of delivering a lighter, more grounded and present awareness in the body and mind through using the creative art of Vinyasa Yoga ­ the synchronisation of breath and movement.

Sarah is the co­-owner and founder of Yard Yoga, a highly sought after Yoga studio in the South East of England, Forest Row. The studio not only offers Sarah’s blend of creative, dynamic Vinyasa Yoga but also a unique Hot Yoga known as Tapasya Yoga. This is a blend of Yoga postures which does not use the wrists and focuses primarily on building heat for deep muscle release and strength which results in greater coordination in the body.

Sarah is well known for inviting students to come and ‘try’ and for creating enthusiasm and motivation to enjoy yoga and all its amazing benefits.

Hannah has been part of of our yoga journey from the start. First as a student, then as a receptionist and now as one of our teachers.

‘‘Yoga is medicine and yoga is magic.’’ Having worked in the studio prior to her training, Hannah saw countless examples of how the practice of asana and meditation can positively effect if not change lives. From helping to manage injuries, illness and pain - to easing stress and anxiety and creating healthier more positive mindsets and lifestyle habits.

As someone with arthritis herself, Hannah very much understands the importance of safe practice and mindful alignment. Hannah completed her training in Thailand with Luna Alignment which was strongly rooted in the therapeutic aspects of yoga and the ethos that yoga is for everyone. Hannah teaches a mixture of Gentle Flow and Yin yoga, drawing inspiration from Ayurveda, the cycles of the moon, seasonal changes and the chakra system.

Lotte teaches some of our hot yoga and flow classes

She is not only a yoga teacher but also a private chef. She focuses on healthy and nutrient rich food and has incorporated her love of yoga into her cooking. Lotte’s main belief is the reason for living is to feed our bodies with the right nutrients, diet and fuel to allow us to walk, talk, swim, laugh and practice yoga. Digestion is extremely important within this process. By fuelling our body with the right components to aid our digestion we can enable ourselves to function to the best of our ability. Aiding digestion also comes from yoga, twists, expansions and bends can energising the cells within our body, kick starting our digestion, giving us energy and strength to practice. 

Giving our bodies the correct starter kit to begin our yoga journey has been at the forefront of Lotte’s thinking, a continuous process and infinite journey.

Sarah Alice teaches a variety of classes at yard yoga but particularly loves teaching her warm yin class to compliment the yang classes at the studio.

Sarah Alice has recently returned to the U.K after living in New Zealand and Australia for the past ten years. Originally from Eastbourne Sarah’s journey as a yogini started as a teenager. Having trained as a gymnast from an early age, yoga became her way expressing energy and her need for physical movement after she ceased competing. It was in 2011 after the Christchurch earthquakes that Sarah turned to yoga to manage the adrenalin overload in her body. During this time when when everyone was suffering from post-traumatic stress and exhaustion from the constant aftershocks, she witnessed how the practice of asanas and meditation created balance of the body and mind. Fascinated by the transformation in her own body and others Sarah completed her yoga teacher training under the tutelage of Eoin Finn (Blissology). She went on to study with Nikki Ralston developing an in-depth knowledge of anatomy. Sarah teaches Vinyasa Flow and Yin. Her love for movement and the creating balance in the body inspires her sequences and her thirst for physiological knowledge allows her to teach in a way that takes you deep into understanding your body.

Kerry PARTICULARLY enjoys teaching our Hot yoga sequence. She also teaches Morning yoga and private classes.

Coming from a hairdressing and beauty background, Kerry spent many years focussing on identity and self-care from an external perspective. Through her work and own love of yoga, she discovered another side of her identity, and the power of self-care from within.

Kerry trained in Rishikesh, India where she learnt a multi-style yoga practice including Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda, Iyengar Style and many other traditions of India. Her training had an emphasis on alignment, therapeutic aspects of yoga, and Philosophy.

She believes evolving & understanding one’s true self is what really matters and yoga is a powerful vehicle for that which can filter into daily life and the world around us.

Creating a space in which others can disconnect from the noise, re-align with their natural self and how they wish to feel is very rewarding to her. Her nature is to encourage everyone to yoga and that working from where you are is enough

Georgia has been practicing Yoga for over 10 years and did her teacher training with the British Wheel of a Yoga under the guidance of Tara Fraser and Tarik Dervish.

Georgia loves to share the many magical layers of yoga with her students. The feelings of space and lightness created when we reconnect with our bodies by balancing and stretching and  also the peaceful, grounded energy that we can take with us off the mat.
