Fresh Fit Slay

Wednesdays 7-8pm

​

Dance is my number one passion in life. I studied ballet, tap & modern from the age of 5 – 11. However I was always excited and inspired by Breaking and Hip Hop style dance. One of my favourite films from a very young age is ‘Breakdance’. Prior to Fresh I was in a street dance troupe from the age of 13 – 19. I have taught dance in Bristol and Bath since the age of 19 to young people and adults.

 

My career expanded as a Choreographer when I taught in The Egg, Theatre Royal Bath in 2007-2010 and created dance pieces for Plays. One of which, ‘ Max & Beth’ toured to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009. In 2012 I was hired to dance for a club in China for 3 months.  In 2018 my troop and I were in the film 'The Festival'; we played the part as the dancers on the main stage at the festival.  It was a fantastic experience and opportunity.  I get a huge buzz watching my choreography come to life and an even bigger buzz from performing. Dance to me is like breathing!

My teaching style blends creativity, empathy, curiosity and playfulness. I aim to create an inclusive, relaxed space where people feel empowered to move in their own way, honouring the fact that every body, experience and practice is different.

 

Rooted in a Tantrik lineage, my teaching weaves together movement, philosophy, devotion and embodiment. I hold a 250-hour training in Krama Vinyasa from Bristol’s Yogasara studio, alongside further study in yoga nidra, hands-on assists and trauma-informed community yoga. 

 

As an ongoing student of philosophy, social justice and bodywork, I’m fascinated by the relationship between movement, healing, devotion, and the mystery of being human.

 

My classes invite us out of busy minds and back into ourselves, offering space for reflection, creativity, gratitude and a deeper connection to the rhythms of our bodies, our communities and the natural world.

Kids’ Ballet 

Ages 6-11 year olds

Wednesday’s 4:30-5:15pm

Term time only 

​

I am Anna. I’ve been dancing ballet since the age of 3 - it is the love and crutch of my life second only to family. Whether it’s nurturing the ballet stars of the next generation, helping a little one conquer their shyness, giving their parents the endorphin high of a great class or helping their grandparents grow back an extra couple of centimetres (true story!) I am keen for everyone to enjoy the benefits of the lifelong companion ballet can be.

I’ve been teaching children and adults as well as performing classical ballet for almost twenty years. I trained with Chelsea Ballet Schools founded by Dorothy Ind, Tokyo International Ballet, K Ballet and the late Joan Hewson whose lineage of teaching of Cecchetti Method goes back to Cecchetti himself, (who taught for Diaghilev) through Margaret Craske to Ms Saul to Joan herself.

Ashtanga Vinyasa classes

Wednesdays 5.45-6.45pm

​

My name is Aimee and I am an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher. My primary focus is building a friendly, welcoming community and holding a safe space for people to show up as they are. 

I am fascinated by the workings of the human body including anatomy and the mind-body connection. I am constantly learning and love using this knowledge base to support and empower my students to cultivate a practice that works for them.

 

I found yoga at a young age and would regularly attend classes with my mum. My love for yoga grew during my time at university when I discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. I completed my 200 hour John Scott teacher training in 2020 with Claire Berghorst. Since then I have taught a mix of online and in person classes including short form Ashtanga Vinyasa classes and restorative classes. 

KAP- Kundalini Activation Process

Group Energy Transmission Class

Wednesday’s 7-9pm

 

 

Clara has trained as a Holistic Massage, Tantric Massage, Reiki and VortexHealing. She also runs an online business suppling frequencies devices that harmonise electromagnetic radiation.

 

Clara first found Kap because she had a Kundalini awakening and was experiencing what is named as ‘Kundalini Syndrome’, this is where normal life vanishes, the basics of sleep, normal sensory perception and metal stability are not present. 

 

Kap offered grounding, calmed the system and aligned her with the practise of surrendering and opened her to the gifts that this Kundalini blessing was offering.  She has been working with this process for over two years and is now a facilitator that can offer this transmission to others. 

Cardio Latin Dance

Wednesdays (fortnightly) from 4th Oct 23

8-9pm

My name is Indira Roman.  I'm originally from Havana, Cuba.  I have been a passionate and enthusiastic dancer since I was 5 years old.  I am a professional singer based in Bristol, where I have performed in the most important places in the city and have travelled around the UK, participating in music festivals such as Glastonbury on several occasions.

Dancing has been my best opportunity to develop myself as a dancer, making me self motivated and also keep myself physically fit.

Hi I'm Niki, I am passionate about fitness, health and wellness.
I love working closely with my clients, creating unique, fun and effective training plans to help them improve their overall fitness and well-being.
