Yoga Teacher

Elizaine Barroso

Yoga began for Elizaine as a way to navigate high anxiety and chronic stress. Through her own healing, she found the mat to be a sanctuary for internal equilibrium. Building on her 200-hour Akhanda foundation, she completed 300 hours of advanced study in Hatha Vinyasa and Pranayama (Krishnamacharya lineage), Yin Yoga, and Meditation.

While Elizaine shares the dynamic energy of Hatha Vinyasa, her heart is deeply drawn to the restorative power of Yin. Believing a complete practice requires both fire and stillness, she weaves intentional, long holds into her flows to ground the energy. Her classes invite practitioners to move from a state of doing into a state of being, offering simple tools to quiet the mind and revitalize the body.

 Her intention is to hold a gentle, inclusive space where practitioners can reconnect with their own internal rhythm, moving through the world with grounded peace and steady clarity.

Yoga Teacher

Sue Turner

Sue began her yoga journey after serious illness made her re-evaluate her lifestyle and find ways to help reduce the stress in her life. She found the therapeutic effects of yoga taught to her over many years by her teacher and mentor Colin Victor-Dunsmuir in the classical T. Krishnamacharya tradition extremely beneficial in helping to cope with the challenging demands of daily living. This approach led her to want to learn more about yoga and she undertook a foundation course under the tutelage of Colin, continuing thereafter with a 4-year teacher training course. She is certified by both the British Wheel of Yoga and The Society of Yoga Practitioners and is also registered with the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

She teaches vinyasa flow style classes with the aim of improving overall health and wellbeing on every domain using the many tools that yoga has to offer.

Yoga Teacher

Holly Hood

Holly first found yoga as a teenager and was impressed with how the practice challenged her physically and mentally. She dabbled here and there in different styles of yoga over the years, but it was starting a meditation practice in 2013 that guided Holly to fall deeply in love with yoga. 

She finished studying for her initial 200hr teacher training, and pre and post natal yoga with Yoga London in 2015. She has since studied with Katy Appleton (Vinyasa Krama), Norman Blair (Yin Yoga) and Nikki Slade (Kirtan - chanting). A major influence in Holly's practice are her two young sons, Thomas, 4 and Finn, 1 whom she counts among her most influential teachers!

Holly has taught at BoCo since 2015, but left the area in 2019 for Hampshire. Through her hybrid class set up, we are grateful to still be be able to have her on our timetable - join her Vinyasa flow class online on Wednesday evenings at 8pm.

"I started my yoga journey back in 2013 when i was pregnant with my little girl. The practice of yoga made the whole experience so smooth and peaceful, it convinced me to embed this in my lifestyle. 

I have completed my 200-hour teacher in person training course as well as  85h Pregnancy, Postnatal and Mother & Baby Yoga in person training.  

I am now passionate about sharing those benefits of practicing yoga with my students.

I am looking forward to practicing with you!” ~ Anne-Laure
