MEET SIMONA
A certified Yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance Professionals (200hrs Hatha - Red Hot Yoga, Guildford March 2019, 200hrs Anusara-Inspired™ with Sarah Powell, 200hrs Rasa Yoga with JC Rawady and 300hrs “Courage to Teach” with Christina Sell), Simona has practised yoga for the last 19 years and has been teaching since 2018. She has been exposed to many different teachers and styles including Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Rasa, Anusara ®, Restorative, Yin, Nidra and Pregnancy Yoga. All these have shaped Simona into a well-rounded teacher with a very good awareness of anatomical bodies and their mechanics.
​
With a background in art, dance and floristry, Simona is passionate about bringing her calm personality into her classes allowing her students to take a mindful moment to let go while strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. Alignment and Flow are two key aspects of her teaching.
​
A mother of three, in 2014 Simona trained with Rainbow Kids Yoga to become a kids yoga instructor. She teaches children mainly in schools and is passionate about introducing little people as well as teenagers to the wonderful world of yoga. She is particularly interested in helping children to find better focus and calm, become more aware of their growing bodies, improving their flexibility and becoming stronger, all this in a fun and relaxed way.
Coping with everyday challenges and modern-day stress for teenagers is also key in her more mindful classes. She likes to include breath work in every class.
​
Yoga is for everyone, young or old, and Simona can help curious and committed students to learn more about yoga and about themselves.

I’ve wanted to try yoga for years, but always felt too scared to go to classes, worried that I wouldn’t know what to do. So when Simona started offering classes it gave me the perfect opportunity to try it in a relaxed environment with a familiar face. And I’m so happy I did!
Simona made me feel so comfortable, and she gave me the confidence through gentle encouragement that I can do yoga too. I feel relaxed, focussed and ready to face all challenges when I walk out of a session

Simona is a very patient and calm teacher, sharing her knowledge of this practice with slow precise explanations. She has a way of leading you that will enhance your own movements. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone wishing to explore yoga for themselves. She has also worked with my son for ADHD which he enjoyed and helped calm him before the start of the school day.

Simona is the epitome of Anusara Yoga, she flows with grace and nature and cares for everyone.
I love my time with her, knowing that the attention she gives to each pose is nourishing and caring. Her restorative yoga sessions are very powerful and just the tonic in this ever changing world.
Also, my little nine year old came skipping home after school and started demonstrating all her new found poses, she was thrilled to have stepped into a new world.

Simona’s classes are a joy to to be part and the weekly programme is varied. She challenges me but also recognises my limitations and adapts the individual moves where necessary to suit my ability. At the end of the class Simona always reads an inspirational passage or quote which focuses the mind for the day ahead. Her restorative yoga sessions have been particularly helpful during Lockdown in helping to switch off the mind and allowing the body to rejuvenate. Thank you Simona!
