It's as simple as helping someone to feel just a little bit better. She passionately believes that yoga is for all bodies and strives to make her classes accessible, playful and light-hearted.

Sarah Leyla Puello | Yoga Teacher

For Sarah, yoga is a path of service, and movement is a spiritual practice. 

She has been practicing yoga for over 10 years, as a counterpoint to a busy urban lifestyle, and as a way of healing the body, the mind and the soul. Her classes are known for weaving together traditional yogic teachings with fluid asana, deliberate breathwork and flavourful music. She loves the potential for creativity, devotion and therapy that endures in the practice, and she creates classes with sequencing inspired by Vinyasa, Forrest, Ashtanga, Jivamukti and Katonah Yoga. She aims to build spaces for connection, where students can find their own body-language. She is inspired by the potential to help students find their own healing paths; a journey that she believes leads to moving in the world from a place of grace, love, compassion and authenticity.

Venetia Adamson | Yoga Teacher

I'm a full-time teacher and Thai Yoga Massage accredited practitioner based in Oxford. I started practising yoga in 2010 while at university in London. After moving to the US to work I found an inspiring teacher and fell in love with the inclusivity and creativity of her classes. Soon I started to incorporate the lessons learnt on my mat into my everyday life. A couple of years of travelling, working and ‘burning out’ lead to a light bulb moment, and I decided to make my yoga practice my lifestyle.

I endeavour to spread my love for all things Yoga. My aim is to teach accessible, culturally sensitive, safe, joyous classes. I believe Yoga can have a profound impact on our relationship to ourselves and others. I intend to learn as much about the lineage of Yoga, meditation and other modalities as I can so I can be a responsible and informed teacher. My main teachings centre around balancing stillness and movement, which is why I am passionate about teaching Yin yoga as well as intuitive flows.

I am currently completing my MA in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at SOAS, London.
