Our Teachers
LUCY ARABADZHIEVA
Hatha Yoga Teacher
My Yoga journey started in 2000 when I was looking for an alternative therapy to help restore my physical health. In 2004 my passion to travel and explore other cultures led me to India where I completed Yoga Teacher training. I continued my training in 2006 when I went to the renowned Bihar School of Yoga in India. Undertaking a five month residential course in 'Yogic Studies', I was introduced to the classical Yoga Philosophy teachings, practices and ancient tradition of ashram life. There I was initiated into Satyananda Yoga tradition. I teach Hatha Yoga flow; my classes are suitable for all levels including complete beginners.
Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you're warmly invited to join me on the mat. We'll explore Hatha Yoga Flow with a blend of movement, breathwork, alignment, and deep relaxation, all tailored to support you.
​
Get ready to stretch, breathe, unwind, and feel amazing (on and off the mat)
Classes start on the 12th September at 5PM - 6PM.
​Drop in class £11 or a 5 class pass for £50 (valid for 3 months).
