Marrion Clarke turned to yoga as a lifeline - and what began as a search for balance became a journey back to herself. Having completed her 200 and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings in 2014 and 2022, she continues to find enchantment in the transformative power of this ancient practice. A dozen years later, and she still calls the mat 'home' as she guides her students to peel back their layers, laugh at their imperfections, and rediscover the brilliance that has been within them all along. Her philosophy is simple, yet profound: to love and embrace our shadow as tenderly as our light - for it is in this sacred dance that true transformation unfolds.

Carey Would has been teaching yoga for over ten years, and is an accredited Mindfulness Facilitator. As her own practice has evolved, so too has her teaching. She teaches inclusively for all levels and at a pace best described as slow, and mindful. Recently, she has also deepened her appreciation of nature by becoming a Nature Facilitator within the Kinship Programme, whose overarching mission is to cultivate a critically conscious community who practise and advocate for sustainable living. Alongside her yoga and mindfulness practice, she is focused on child-led, immersive, inquiry-based learning in nature. Her classes which fuse nature, mindfulness and yogic principles together have been described as ‘a balm for the nervous system’.
