I first practiced yoga with Alice at Republic, office campus in East London, and I found something very different from the other classes I had been to. My gym’s classes were a generic going through postures without being really present or connected to it, more about doing rather then being, more physical than spiritual. 1 hour fast flow felt bit rushed and stressful to follow for a beginner like me to be honest. Whereas Alice’s classes are bit longer, you are invited to move slower, and you are mainly focus on connecting to the breath and to the body. You feel your own body and your own physical sensations throughout the whole practice, in and out of postures. You are guided to keep the awareness and the attention to the breath and expressing the pose more fully and naturally with it. You’re more aware of what you doing and why you’re doing it. What you’re moving and where you’re moving it. You’re more connected to your own practice. Her work it’s definitely different, more in depth and more detailed. She allows time to explore the same posture in different ways, supported by different props. She gave me good individual adjustments. I have a better understanding of the poses now. And my body and breath awareness have improved. My practice is now more aware and mindful, I know when to use props and adjust myself for better alignment. I now leave the class calmer, more relaxed and more embodied. It puts me in the zone, the practice almost transcends the mat and the body and it goes beyond. More...

As a beginner I was nervous about attending Alice's class but she made me feel completely comfortable instantly with her calm, warm and inviting energy. She talked through each pose in a really clear way that I was able to understand, but didn't seem to hold the more experienced up. She offered helpful tips and encouragement. She held a beautiful meditation after that helped me to feel grounded and ready to proceed with my day. I absolutely loved her class and I will continue attending. More...

Alice is a brilliant Yoga instructor for all flexibility types. She is very open to feedback around the requests from the community. She is extremely mindful with the poses and explains a lot of the reasons why the postures work and what we should be feeling, even in an online environment. She is a great introductory teacher for Yoga too as she meets the class participants where they're at. I personally always enjoy spending an hour with her guidance. Recommend her for any communities and individuals looking to ease into the practice of Yoga. More...
