Align - Body and Mind
I am Holly, Yoga & Pilates practitioner and Massage Therapist.
I found my passion for movement when I trained as an instructor with 'Modern Pilates', this is a clinical approach to the Pilates Method which gave me a great insight into the anatomical workings of the body & providing me with a fantastic foundation as a teacher. I began my career teaching small group and private classes for a Physiotherapy clinic, where I also worked giving a variety of massage treatments & building my own Yoga experience.
In 2015 I spent a month teaching Pilates for a healthy holiday company in Greece (whom I still work with!) where I got to attend many different Yoga classes everyday with wonderful, inspiring teachers.... from here I was hooked and I went on to complete my advanced Yoga teacher certificate (Yoga Alliance 500 hours) in Incredible India... the country where Yoga originates from and a place which has brought to me huge influence in my teaching as well as my own personal life and Yoga practice, part of my inspiration when running & collaborating for yoga holidays, wellness retreats and fitness camps in UK and Europe.
My dream for 'Align Body and Mind' is to bring to you safe, effective and enjoyable Pilates and Yoga classes, I have experienced huge benefits to my own physical and mental wellbeing from these wonderful practices & hope to share this with as many people as possible...There is a class for everyBODY Whether you're looking to reduce stress or pain, increase your strength or flexibility, relax and unwind or even to meet some like minded people, there is something for you.
Check out the class timetable for updates and special events, & do get in touch if you want to find the best class to suit your needs!
I hope to see you very soon!

Hatha Flow Yoga
Flowing through poses in time with your breath (whilst keeping the alignment principles of Hatha), a great way to energise, gently increase your heart rate, open up your body and focus your mind.
Flow & Let Go Yoga
Starting with an flowing sequence to lift your mood, build your strength & find connection...ending with delicious restorative postures to relax & wind down to.
Hatha Yoga
Finding balance for body and mind... this method allows time to hold each asana (pose) and focus on correct alignment.
(Great for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners)
Pilates
Focusing on strengthening our deep, stabilising and core muscles, helping to improve posture, muscle tone and to relieve pain.
Yin Yoga
Targets our connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and fascia) rather than our big movement muscles. In Yin yoga we hold fewer poses for longer periods of time aiding in increased mobility, lowering stress levels, calm and balance for the mind.
Yoga Nidra
Ultimate relaxation is found in this guided meditation, the perfect way to unwind
Pregnancy Yoga
Guiding you through Yogic postures, breathing techniques (pranayama) and deep relaxation to help reduce stress, worries and issues such as back pain associated with pregnancy... as well as breathing practices, meditations and practical positions and props to help with birth. A time to connect with your body, your baby & other women sharing this experience at the same time...

''Holly is extremely professional, and offers a calming atmosphere where you can relax and really enjoy the massage and your body being taken care of. I will most certainly be going back again for another massage and could not recommend her fantastic services more''
Georgia, Teacher - 30
"Holly has a lovely technique when teaching her yoga classes & retreats. I first met Holly by attending her Monthly Yin/Yoga nidra classes. These classes are perfect & Holly’s yoga nidra is amazing. She speaks her yoga nidra from start to end - it is not a tape. I have also attended Holly’s Day Retreats. The balance is perfect & her teaching is so refreshing. "
