John, who’s spiritual name is Jai Shiva, is the new generation of the ancient lineage revived by the great Krishnamacharya. Having studied extensively with his guru’s in both India and the UK John brings his own unique style and energy to his classes.

Physically his practice is grounded in the fundamentals of Hatha which he fuses with his strong meditative practice. John’s teaching is full of compassion, wisdom and love. He is driven by helping others to find the space internally to just be, to be more physically and mentally present and above all to find that deeper connection to the world around us.

Lex found yoga at a point in her life where a lot of things were out of balance. She has been amazed how much this ancient practice has helped her to change; making her calmer, stronger, more focused and most importantly happy and content.

She is passionate about helping people to create space for themselves. To work on that internal connection that allows us to truly be present and connect with other people. Lex believes that it doesn’t matter what brings you to the mat, it is the fact that you have got there, and you are prepared to let yoga reveal itself to you that is important. Lex’s style of teaching works on building mental and physical strength. Creating space for each individual to work on internal connection with gratitude and compassion.

“Yoga isn’t a practice contained to a mat, nor is it a practice available only to a certain group of people. It is a powerful tool for transformation and healing and should be available to everybody in the world.``

Karen's intention is to create an inclusive environment where students can move freely, feel good, have fun and experience the infinitude of possibilities within themselves. Yoga found Karen over 12 years ago and the practice immediately resonated. Since then, she has taken opportunities to learn from teachers around the world within various lineages. Her teaching is influenced by restorative, yin and hatha yoga. She believes that above all, humour is an essential ingredient in yoga (& life!) and that laughter is the best core exercise there is.

Karen guides her students with humility and compassion, ensuring a warm and comfortable environment for everyone who walks through her door.

Jane began practicing yoga in 2013 to help ease long standing lower back pain. As a former dancer, Jane was extremely flexible so used the yoga postures to build muscular strength and improve postural alignment. Jane trained to be a yoga teacher in 2015 in Thailand. After falling in love with teaching yoga Jane went on to qualify in Thai Yoga Massage in 2017 and Yin Yoga in 2018. Jane is also trained in Yoga for Trauma; her classes are friendly, welcoming and trauma sensitive.
Jane loves to see her students take on new challenges and to watch their progress. She is inspired by how yoga positively affects the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of every student.

Jane teaches Restorative Flow at Narali on Mondays 12:15pm. This is a slower flow class which offers practitioners of any level a way of incorporating a little self-care into their day. As well as working on flexibility this class focuses on the practice of slowing down both physically and mentally. It is a chance to create a deep muscular release and to find a connection to the breath. It helps to open and hold space for deep healing; not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
