Yoga

I'm Tara and I've been teaching yoga since
2014. I hold a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate (Devon School of Yoga) as well as the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Certificate and Anjali Yin Yoga Teaching
Certificate. I'm also a Yoga Associate with the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity and hold a current First Aid Certificate.
My classes focus on mindful movement, mobility, strength building and relaxation; helping you to feel calmer, more connected and more confident in your body. I aim to create a friendly, accessible space for all levels - whether you're new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice.

Carrie has been practicing yoga for over thirty years, exploring a variety of Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa styles with inspiring teachers across the South West.

She has completed the 500-hour teaching qualification at the Devon School of Yoga and has enjoyed sharing yoga and mindfulness with everyone from busy professionals to teenagers.

Her classes are grounded in classical Hatha Yoga, but with a warm, approachable focus on posture, breathwork, and mindfulness – tools to help us feel calmer, stronger and more present in our busy lives.

Hello everyone, my name's Emily. I teach Pilates here at Renew.
My love of Pilates began many years ago when I trained and worked as a professional dancer. I went on to become a secondary school teacher for 5 years before making the switch to combine my two passions, Pilates & teaching!
I'm very passionate about the Pilates methodology, what it can do for the body and mind, and feel privileged to be able to help people connect to their breath and find their inner strength.
I'm Level 4 advanced mat Pilates qualified, am a 200 hour registered yoga teacher and am also Level 3 PT certified.
I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
