Lynne was born and spent her early years in Yorkshire. She first discovered Yoga while a student in Scarborough. Later, after giving birth to her first daughter, she returned to Yoga and found it helped her regain suppleness. By now the study had acquired more significance for Lynne as she began to realise its deeper meaning.

Lynne moved to Norfolk with her family in 1994. Here she was lucky to meet an inspirational teacher in Annie Knights who persuaded her to make Yoga her career. With Annie's encouragement, Lynne achieved her British Wheel of Yoga diploma in 2003. Since then she has developed a very successful practice running classes both privately and based at various leisure centres in and around Norwich.

Lynne has an eclectic approach to Yoga, incorporating a range of styles into her teaching. She often introduces readings from yogic texts and meditation exercises into her classes.

Lynne travelled to India in 2006 to practice Yoga with a Sivananda trained teacher. While there she visited the Sivananda Ashram to absorb some of its history and philosophy; valuable experience she now shares with her students.

Maria initially studied Martial Arts. On reaching Black Sash she became a junior instructor and was then introduced to Tai Chi and Chi Kung. Maria then went on to become a 5th Degree Sifu in Tai Chi Tang Lang Pai and has been practicing and teaching Tai Chi for over 25 years. Leaving full time employment to bring up her 2 sons, Maria started to increase her teaching hours, while branching her work to include self defence instruction to girls in local schools and youth groups.

As Maria became more interested in the importance of exercise for its health, well being and holistic qualities, she moved away from Martial Arts to concentrate on teaching Tai Chi, bringing the understanding and benefits of this form of excercise to a wide range of people

Maria now works with a wide range of groups and clients. Her aim is to develop each individual physically and mentally according to their own levels and needs, therefore her teaching is very flexible. Additionally she believes strongly that exercise should be enjoyable so that students leave classes not just feeling energised and invigorated but relaxed and happy.
