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.
Hi, I’m Julie. I’ve been involved in fitness and sports for most of my life, and became the British Rhythmic Gymnastic Champion in 1983. After teaching and coaching in the USA for 21 years, I am now loving being back home, continuing to teach and learn.
Movement is my passion, and I am grateful to be able to share this with you. I am committed to helping you find the best version of yourself, whether you wish to be stronger, healthier, or more mobile.
I’ll tailor our sessions to fit your specific needs, focusing on building not only physical wellbeing, but also mental wellbeing, as both are equally important.
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!

Book NowVINYASA ( translates to “flowing with breath”) is a dynamic style of Hatha yoga which joins physical postures, or asanas, with inhales and exhales, creating a steady internal rhythm for the practice. The Flow classes are designed to cultivate heat in the body with creative sequences involving sun salutations, standing and seated postures and some more challenging postures as well as focusing on the power of breath awareness.
Book NowYIN YOGA is a deep practice that encourages the body to relax rather than engage. In this practice we focus on releasing the connective tissue “fascia” to create range of motion in our joints and muscles by targeting ligaments, bones and joints. Yin generally targets the hips, lower back and legs.
Book NowAccording to Eastern wisdom, everything is made of a balance of opposites - yin and yang. In this class we'll look at the concept of yin and yang in our minds, energy systems and bodies, enjoying a practice based on both.
Book NowA class to unwind the body and calm the mind. Traditional yoga postures combined with breath & relaxation to leave you feeling lengthened, stretched & peaceful.
