Instructors
Rebecca Aitken
About Rebecca:
Rebecca’s journey into health, wellness, and fitness began with a fascination for how nutrition, lifestyle, movement, and recovery influence overall wellbeing. After graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition from the University of London Metropolitan, she went on to qualify as a Yoga Teacher in Nepal, deepening her knowledge of mindful movement through Hatha, Ashtanga, and Iyengar styles. Rebecca later expanded her training to include Pilates, Personal Training, and Sports Massage Therapy, building a comprehensive toolkit to support her clients' recovery, performance, and overall wellbeing.
Rebecca’s Pilates Class Description:
Rebecca’s matwork Pilates classes have a strong focus on technique and body awareness, incorporating the principles of alignment, precision, and mindful movement. Classes focus on posture, breath, and core muscular engagement, using clear verbal cues to help participants move with awareness, focus, and control. Her classes encourage strength, confidence, and intentional movement tailored to individual needs. She offers modifications for injuries or physical limitations, whilst delivering clear, insightful guidance that helps clients understand not just how to move, but why each move matters.
Anna Pomichal
About Anna:

Anna’s Pilates Class Description:
Anna totally believes in the power of Pilates - its power to rectify, beautify and heal. Having recovered from a debilitating spinal injury by means of Pilates exercises, she understands every detail of the correct form in each position on all levels to bring about the results the clients are seeking. During the class, she consistently goes around to each client to make sure the exercises are performed precisely, with great passion and conviction. If you are looking to establish a solid foundation for effective Pilates practise, then Anna’s class is ideal for you!
Anna’s Yoga Class Description:
I qualified as a Siromani yoga teacher at a Sivananda Yoga Ashram. I specialise in Hatha and Ashtanga, and in teaching I alternate between a slow and meditative style, and dynamic and fast-paced one, depending on the participants’ request. When time allows, I incorporate breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation. During the whole class, I emphasise alignment, breath, and mindfulness while working on strength and flexibility. I finish each class with deep relaxation.
Michelle Wray
About Michelle:
Passionate, inspiring, engaged and calm, Michelle started her yoga journey 19 years ago in Hong Kong during a time of complication with her first pregnancy. Having moved around in different countries in Asia and Europe, her love of yoga has since grown, transformed and transcended beyond the physical practice into a spiritual journey, with the magical carpet carrying her through times of challenges, tribulations, grief but also immense gifts of joy, peace and gratitude. Her uninterrupted practice of yoga throughout life’s circumstances has blessed her the voice to share, teach and inspire others to better feel, better live.
Michelle’s Yoga Class Description:
Michelle delivers a thoughtfully designed yoga flow class that invites you to move with meanings, breathe with awareness and reconnect with the deeper layers of yourself. Each class weaves together a harmonious blend of asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), meditation and self-reflection. The practice helps you to build strength, increase flexibility and cultivate inner calm.
Michelle’s warming presence creates a space where you feel supported, seen and empowered. She offers hands-on cues, modifications and variations that support both beginners and more experienced yogi’s. Under her guidance, participants of all levels will find space to grow, heal and transform, stepping off the mat feeling nourished, uplifted and deeply aligned in body, mind and spirit.
