Natalie

Hi, I’m Natalie. I’m qualified to teach all things that Sanctuary offers (after all Sanctuary is my baby!).

I have been teaching fitness & wellbeing classes for over 25 years including Pilates & Yoga. I bring together my past experience as a professional dancer and my work in the fitness industry to deliver varied, knowledgeable sessions.

Do you have neck, back, knee or any other issues? My wealth of experience means I can adapt any exercise to suit you, making Yoga & Pilates accessible to all.

I pride myself on attention to detail, making sure each client gets an exercise session specifically prescribed for them.

Hello there, I’m Alison and I’m passionate about Yoga and Pilates, as both practices have had a hugely positive impact on my own personal health and wellbeing.  I trained as a Level 3 Mat Pilates Instructor in 2019 and the classes I teach are varied, with options for all levels, and have an equal focus on the core strength and stability, balance, co-ordination and flexibility.

I qualified as a 200 Hour Vinyasa Flow Yoga Instructor in the same year and have since undertaken further advanced training in Yoga Philosophy, Sanskrit and Chanting.  I also have a keen interest in meditation and mindfulness.  My classes are designed to create space within the body and stillness in the mind and include Pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation and relaxation, alongside the Asana (our physical yoga practice).

One to one classes, in either Yoga or Pilates, can be tailored to meet your individual requirements – from gentle and relaxing to dynamic and challenging – and everything in between!
