 "My first ever yoga class was some 12 years ago and I had no idea what I was in for!... I left an hour and a half later physically and mentally in pieces which was more than a little unsettling but the experience had left it's mark and every week without fail I schleped across london in the rain to get to my class and became more and more intrigued as the yoga worked its magic..."
I was working closely with a director in the film industry as the time
which left little or no time for myself ... as the yoga progressed I
found myself longing for more nurturing ways to spend my life ... and
as life would have it it was a car crash that set me free. With a
little reflection and the need to recuperate I quit the film industry
and worked with yoga to heal my body.

 Leila's teaching style is inspiring, informative, and humorous; she is a fairly brainy person, and, reflective of her eight years of working therapeutically with the body, she enjoys educating people about what is happening underneath their skin. At the same time, she offers her students a way to re-think the way they relate to their life through exploring yogic philosophy, contemporary spiritual writing, and other salient sources.
The spirit is one of curiosity and inquiry, and the verbal content of the class underpins yoga asana practice that thoroughly addresses the need of tired, urban-dwelling bodies to unwind and recharge at the deepest level. Students of Leila are cultivating a balance of strength and flexibility, a steadiness of mind, and an openness of heart.

Emma came to yoga gradually, trying out different styles and finding a yogic path through her travels and life.
A yoga retreat in Morocco three years ago confirmed that it was yoga that would help with that inward search and from here created a regular practise including further retreats, appleyoga foundation course and appleyoga teacher training (240 Hour Yoga Alliance accredited).

 Michelle first came to yoga about 12 years ago, and it was love at first class. Initially yoga was recommended by a trainer at the gym as something that may help with flexibility, and to help address niggling little aches and pains from weekends spent running and playing sports; and weekdays spent in a stressful, busy, corporate environment. “Yoga had never really been on my radar, I was more of gym-goer and a runner, but from the very first class, I knew yoga had way more to offer me than longer hamstrings. I remember sitting on the bus home sweaty, exhausted, amazed at my lack of strength and flexibility, and emotionally a bit surprised – I had found myself almost in tears in final relaxation and had no idea what that was all about! That night I slept like a log, and knew that something profound had happened. As I continued with my classes, I began to feel that yoga was not only a “diy maintenance kit”, but that there an invitation to something I hadn't realised I was missing; an ability to ground myself deeply in the truth of who I am, and a self-sufficiency that is still standing me in good stead - along with a whole host of other beautiful benefits that are ever-unfolding.”

 Yoga found me when I lived in the sunny Maldives seven years ago and soon after I took my first course in the UK with Katy Appleton. I have been hooked ever since! At the time I travelled a lot and yoga helped ground me, no matter what time zone I was in. Not only has my mat visited some fabulous places, but my yoga itself has been a fabulous journey.
I was inspired by its simplicity and complexity and have found it of great help to balance and navigate my life, most recently as a first time mum and also with managing my scoliosis. Through yoga I'm learning not to expect perfect postures, or perfection in life, but to accept what is true for me on and off the mat.

 I discovered yoga about seven years ago, when I was stressed out by work and was holding on to emotional baggage. I had been playing competitive sports, running, kickboxing, mountain biking and spinning to relieve tension. One Friday, instead of heading to the nearest pub with my workmates, I decided to try an Ashtanga yoga class instead. I had never worked so hard during, or felt so good after exercising. So, much to my colleagues' disappointment, it became a regular thing and wonderful things started happening: I sorted out issues that had been plaguing me for years, I got promoted at work, stopped smoking, and got engaged to the life of my life. It had such a profound impact on me that I told my husband that I wanted to be able to teach yoga one day, so that I could share its gifts.
