emma newlyn

Emma is a musician, massage therapist, writer and full-time Yoga teacher. Having trained as a 200hr RYT with Esther Ekhart in Europe and a further 500hrs advanced training in India with Julie Martin, her thirst for knowledge is ever increasing, and she has continued to learn with acclaimed teachers such as Kathryn Budig, Doug Swenson and Shiva Rea.

With a love for flow-style yoga, it is this aspect of creating a ‘moving meditation’ that intrigues Emma the most. She is passionate about creating effective sequences that lead students through a journey, and believes that there is definitely no ‘one size fits all’ approach to the physical practice. Emma has also trained to teach children’s yoga, and restorative yoga after finding the practice transformational both physically and mentally, and feels that Yoga has been a hugely empowering and healing journey so far….

Emma leads kirtan evenings (music and singing), writes for various health and wellbeing websites, and is on the organising committee for the Brighton Yoga Festival. She loves sharing knowledge about Yoga philosophy and how we can take our practice ‘off the mat’. As well as contributing to these websites and online magazines, Emma also runs her own blog full of healthy recipes, philosophy, tips of postures, and much more….

kate henshaw

Kate first developed a regular yoga practice to help heal her body and calm her mind during a period of serious illness. It's this therapeutic quality that she hopes to bring to her teaching. Originally completing her 200hr training with Be-yoga, Kate has continued to study with renowned teachers in their field and now has specialist qualifications in Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra, Yin and Restorative Yoga, as well as deep tissue massage. Kate enjoys working with beginners, and with anyone who faces particular challenges on or off the mat.

Anna teaches Tuesday evenings at 6pm

She loves vinyasa and yin yoga. In her classes, she aims to help each student find balance and grounding by connecting breath, mind and body. Each class includes time to connect to breath, a gentle warm up, an energising flow to open the body, followed by longer held passive poses to return to stillness. Options are always offered and Anna strives to create an atmosphere in which each student feels comfortable choosing the option that is right for their body in that moment. Her classes always have an aspect of fun; laughter, wobbling and ‘having a go’ at something new is always encouraged. She also loves creating playlists to move and flow to.

An enthusiastic lifelong learner, Anna started her yoga journey at philosophy school as a child in South Africa, learning about philosophy, meditation and Sanskrit. She enjoys honouring the roots of yoga by incorporating yogic philosophy and Sanskrit into her classes. The shapes we make on the mat only form only one part of the different aspects of yoga. Yoga, when studied and explored along with and beyond the physical postures, is a way of life. Yogic philosophy provides a guide for being in this world, as a means of transformation and liberation. Through teaching yoga, Anna hopes to share her passion with her students and perhaps they too, will feel inspired to explore yoga beyond the mat.

Yoga has been part of Fiona’s world on and off through the years, in 2018 she found herself being drawn to her yoga mat on a regular basis.

Fiona became a regular at her local yoga studio and decided at the start of 2019 to take teacher training.

Shyara teaches Monday 9.30am & Saturday 11am

“Yoga to me is essentially about being truly present in order to tune into what our bodies are telling us. In doing so we are able to practice with kindness and truth, using our practice to release both physical and mental tension. In my classes I aim is to bring fluidity, strength and ease to the body and calmness and peace to the heart and mind.

In my class we will flow through the yoga postures synchronising breath work with movement and core strengthening to bring transformation and an overall sense of well-being.

Expect to leave both refreshed and revived.”
