Our Teachers

Lucy Jarvis

Lucy Jarvis

Lucy’s need for connection and self introspection is what led her to the yoga mat.

Think accessible yoga that links movement to breath and has an emphasis on self awareness and the energetics of the poses.

Yoga gives us the ability to recalibrate our nervous systems and really land back in our physical bodies, despite the type of class style this is always the underlying thread.

Lucy's classes are inclusive and encourage curiosity and play to nourish and open your heart allowing Yoga to be a truly transformative practice.

Shell Douglas

Shell Douglas

Shell's love for Yoga began 6 years ago when she was in her mid 40's and she soon realised the magic and power of the practice.

After a few months of dedicated practice she committed to Vinyasa and Yin training at Warrior One Yoga with the intention of deepening her own knowledge and practice. 

It wasn't until a further training with Yoga with Georgia and Om Som that she felt inspired and ready to share the gift of Yoga as a teacher.

Shell puts her heart and soul into her classes which combine creative flows, cool tunes, sound bowls, breath work and meditation. 

She wants for you to feel welcomed, nurtured and supported in her space and is passionate about helping build confidence in your practice no matter what your experience, age, shape or fitness level. 

Her intention is for you to leave feeling spacious and balanced,  with a  deep sense of connection to your mind, body and spirit.
