For Amelia, yoga is about creating space: physically, emotionally and mentally. The true beauty of yoga is that it meets you exactly where you are. It is for everyone. Amelia has been practicing meditation for nearly 20 years and yoga for 10 years. She teaches a range of styles including Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Aroma Yoga taking inspiration from her teachers Elena Brower, Rod Stryker, Norman Blair among many others, to whom she is deeply grateful.

​

Amelia’s intention in teaching is to create space and act as a guide for you to pause and breathe on the mat. Her wish is for us to carry this spaciousness off the mat and back into our own life, to our friends, family and community, learning to live from a place of intention and conscious choice rather than reactivity.

​

Having worked as a personal trainer and class instructor for the past 11 years, Lisa turned to yoga 5 years ago in a bid to combat some of the stresses and strains she had placed on her body over the years and also to bring some kind of calm and peace to her otherwise hectic lifestyle

Having completed her yoga teacher training, and fully embracing what it opened her eyes to, Lisa knew that yoga was the path she wanted to follow and inspire others to follow too.

Throughout her class Lisa encourages a strong connection between body, mind and spirit. She delivers a physically demanding practice, whilst at the same time encouraging her participants to practice without pain and to accept each moment as their bodies being exactly where they should be. Lisa likes to use music and short readings as a way to enhance the experiences her participants have during their practice and as a way of enabling participants to take vital elements of their practice with them into their lives outside of the yoga studio. Lisa’s background also means that she has a keen interest in anatomy and physiology. She will use her knowledge to guide you carefully and precisely through your poses, educating you about your body as you go.

Erin initially practiced hot yoga and then went on to try many other styles including Anusara Yoga. She felt that this was the path she had been looking for, and decided to do what she loved - dedicate her life to improving the health and wellness of others.

Erin completed her Teacher Training with Bridget Woods-Kramer, a Senior Anusara Certified Instructor, in Ubud, Bali. She loves to travel and practice yoga all over the world, gaining from each new experience, and sharing those experiences with her students.

Anusara Yoga focuses on body alignment, opening of the heart region, and Tantric philosophy. She really connects with the principles of Anusara, and uses those teachings when instructing students. She incorporates pranayama, meditation, and intention setting into her classes. She loves to see students connect with their practice in such a way that their everyday lives are more centered and full of richness.

A life-long interest in health & movement led Imir to begin practicing yoga in 2000. She has since studied consistently to deepen her understanding of anatomy, the eight limbs of yoga, and yoga philosophy as a way of life; exploring traditional yoga systems, particularly classical Ashtanga Yoga, Dynamic & Restorative Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Krama.

Following the tradition of ‘Guru Parampara’ (passing on the tradition of yoga in its pure form from teacher to student, generation to generation), Imir enjoys training with some of the world’s foremost senior teachers in Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa Sequencing, Yoga Philosophy, Meditation and Anatomy.  She took her initial 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training qualification in 2010, followed by a further qualification in Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in 2013 and 300 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in December 2017.

Imir’s teaching style is calm, light-hearted and friendly, her classes deep and challenging, accompanied by music. 

Agneta started practising Bikram Yoga in the US back in 2000 with Jimmy Barkan and got addicted to all the benefits of practicing yoga in a hot room. Having had a severe knee injury in 2009, yoga helped to heal and avoid radical knee surgery. Agneta works as a Specialist Audiologist which includes working with patients who suffer with balance disorders – an area where yoga has proven to have countless benefits.

​

Agneta completed her training with Jimmy Barkan in the Barkan Method of Hot Yoga, enabling her to share her own experience of healing from the inside, for which she has a true passion!

Whilst it was the physicality of yoga that initially drew Matt to the practice - in particular the transitions and the flow of movement - he soon found that there were many benefits beyond just the physical as yoga brought greater balance and awareness into his life. 

​

Matt is a yoga teacher, Level II Mindfulness Trainer and designated FRC© Mobility Specialist. His teaching combines contemporary understanding of the ways in which we move with the wisdom and insight of the yoga and mindfulness traditions and he aims to present these practices in a way that is respectful to their heritage, culture and original intentions.

As he continues to deepen his understanding of these transformative practices, Matt feels incredibly lucky to help others discover the benefits of yoga and mindfulness for themselves, doing so in a considered, grounded way that is accessible and relatable to all (‘spiritual’ and secular minded alike).

Bonny has been a fully qualified yoga teaching for 3 years. Initially she qualified in Ashtanga and since has taken trainings in Rocket, Mandala, Forrest, Chair, Aerial and Bikram.

One of the things Bonny loves most about yoga is that it is a never ending journey. Each of us on our own unique path not knowing where that path may lead us, and the more you learn the more you realise there is more to learn about your mind, body, focus and spirit.

One thing you may not know is that whilst owning the gym she gained a black belt in martial arts! She floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee!

'Dynamic, challenging, vinyasa-orientated, The Freestyle Yoga Project, is geared towards encouraging teachers and students to think for themselves, and investigate what’s going on over the side of their particular yogic box'. This philosophy, as well as his dance training, informs Gerrard’s teaching. He provides students with classes that offer challenge and a safe space in which to unburden insecurities and physical blockages.

​

Gerrard is a Yoga Alliance UK certified teacher. He gained his initial yoga experience from his professional dance training at De Montfort University and The Northern School of Dance and was so intrigued that he started practicing in the Ashtanga, Jivamukti, Kundalini and Vinyasa Yoga. He went on to study with Abby Hoffman on her Embodied Dance Pro 60 course, which explores the connection with yoga and dance, after which he began his 200 hour teacher training at the Freestyle Yoga Project with Mark Freeth and Anna Robertshaw.

Gerrard uses vocal percussion and music in his classes, as he has an interest in singing/chanting. He has performed in ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Ballet Black’. He has also danced for The National Theatre, has toured internationally with the ‘English National Opera’, and has performed at the Royal Opera House.

Steve realised that it was in his greatest time of need that yoga became much more than a physical practice. 

​

He began practising yoga in 2012 when he travelled to New Zealand and from that point on he was hooked. Steve began to practice at Breeze occasionally and participate in online yoga classes and began to experience the benefits that yoga had to offer. With this new-found love Steve began to change his approach even to his own training and his clients as he is a professional personal trainer of six years. It wasn’t until the last year that Steve wanted to ramp up his training, so he travelled to the Sampoorna School of Yoga in India to fully immerse himself in his teacher training.

​

He has now committed to turning his training and teachings for longevity, concentrating more on movement and mobility and incorporating inversions into his classes. Steve brings his 'cheeky chappy' nature to his classes but also instills strength and confidence to his students helping them grow into a stronger and confident practitioner in a fun but challenging way.

Allison began teaching over 25 years ago as a group exercise fitness instructor. She has always enjoyed ‘movement’ and realised over time that teaching was her passion.

Allison completed her 200-hour YTT in India in 2013, 120-hour Hridaya Module in Mexico 2015, and completed a 300-hour YTT in India in 2018.

After many years of working in the fashion industry as a fashion stylist and agent, Sam suffered chronic fatigue brought on by stress. She had always been active and healthy so was looking for natural ways to heal herself and started practising different styles of yoga before beginning to practice Bikram in 2001.

​

 She graduated from the Bikram Teacher Training in 2003 and has been a full-time teacher since. Not only does she teach Bikram but has gone on to train and teach children, pre/postnatal, vinyasa and floating yoga. She is an advanced practitioner and leads BYL’s advanced class on Saturdays.
