Hi, I am Eva and I run the Yoga Life Studio – hope you like it as much as I do! My aim is to provide a welcoming, supportive, safe and peaceful space for our local community and also those joining us online.

I am a professional yoga teacher who qualified with British Wheel of Yoga and registered Experienced Yoga Alliance Professionals Teacher.

My classes range from a Gentle Hatha Yoga, Mindful flow, Restorative yoga to Meditation, Beach Yoga (on Eastbourne pebbles) or Aerial Yoga and SUP Yoga. Absolutely everyone can join my classes and find a practice that resonates and feels good for them.

I am also a published author at the OM Yoga & Lifestyle Magazine and YOGA Magazine.  I write about all sorts of aspects of yoga and share sequences with the readers.

You will find me at the Yoga Life Studio most days, and if I’m not there I will be on the beach or Cuckmere river having fun, doing something yoga related. When I am done with the fun I am most likely to be answering your lovely messages and organising our next event.

Next time you are passing by come in and say hi!

Hello, I am Aggie (Agnieszka Zadanska-Draper). I have been practising yoga for over 7 years and teaching since 2014, when I completed my teacher training course with Yogacampus. I do not have gymnastic or acrobatic background and understand well everyone who feels infexible and cannot touch their toes. I teach yoga in Yoga Life Studio on Mondays at 7:30pm. This class is for all, regardless of their flexibility and body shapes. No need to worry about the strength and experience either! Expect to feel recharged and restored and with time to get stronger in body and mind!

Bella has been a student and lover of yoga since her late teens. After several decades of her love growing deeper, she decided it was time to make the relationship official and qualified as a Yoga Alliance certified teacher with the wonderful Yoga Life. She is passionate about helping others to discover the medicine of yoga. In her classes she combines elements of breath work, sound and voice therapy, chanting and yoga philosophy with light hearted humour as well as drawing on her study of somatic psychotherapy and embodiment philosophy. More than anything she is passionate about helping others to believe in themselves. No matter what age or shape we are, no matter what health issues life brings, as long as we are breathing, there is an inner yogi in us all waiting patiently for his chance to help us heal and thrive.

Hi, I’m Gemma. I’m passionate about yoga and have been practising for most of my adult life. It’s amazing how even a short yoga session can transform the way I think and feel. 

I am a veterinary surgeon, but feel incredibly fortunate to be taking a career break to focus on raising my young children while indulging in my passions for yoga and creative writing. 

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training in 2021-2022 which focused on Vinyasa flow. I love learning and am currently studying towards an MA in creative writing. Plus, continually expanding my knowledge in various aspects of yoga and mindfulness. 

My yoga classes are open to everyone, regardless of your level of experience. I would love you to join me on Sunday evening from 6.30-7.45pm to ‘Connect and Flow’.

Hello, I am Georgina I’m a Eastbourne/ St Leonards/Hastings based yoga alliance qualified 200 hour teacher. I am also trained in pregnancy yoga, postnatal yoga, mummy and baby yoga and meditation.

I strongly believe that yoga is for everyBODY and I teach very gentle and relaxing yoga that is accessible to everyone. Beginners are more than welcome and no flexibility is required.

In today’s busy world I believe it is essential that through our yoga practice we slow down and rest and relax .Come and join me on the mat and enjoy some much needed and well deserved relaxing ‘me time’.

I teach on Thursdays at Yoga Life Studio Gentle yoga and relaxation (yoga nidra) for stress relief 5.30pm-6.30pm

You will also find me often covering for Eva when she is away teaching retreats.

 Really look forward to practising with you.

Karen is a Senior Yoga Teacher registered with Yoga Alliance, she has been practising yoga since 1999 and teaching since 2006 across London and the South Coast.  Karen has taught adults, teens and children in schools, yoga studios and therapy rooms as well as providing Yoga in the Workplace.

Karen is deeply passionate about sharing the healing powers of yoga as initially it helped alleviate the pain she used to experience from a childhood back injury, yoga also reduced work-related stress when her career was in television, and supported her pregnancy and birth of her son.  And finally, (she’s 50 next year!) yoga definitely helps reduce age-related creakiness whilst maintaining strength and flexibility, and helps reduce perimenopausal symptoms.

I am an enthusiastic yoga teacher who not only teaches yoga but lives it. I believe and have experienced that yoga and holistic healing can help with mental as well as physical wellbeing.
My mission is to share this knowledge with many individuals and help people to find themselves through practising asana, breathing exercises and meditation.
Living yoga has made me focused, calmed my mind, I became vital and toned my body and most importantly changed my vibes. I truly believe that people can sense that and they know I teach from my heart.
I attend yoga retreats to deepen my practice and learn from more experienced yogis.
I would like to invite you to my Restorative Yoga class on Fridays at 8pm.

I am a qualified teacher with a particular interest in the personal and social benefits of engaging in any art form. I have undertaken Aerial instructor training with both Spin City and Nimble Arts, and have a particular fondness for teaching beginners’ trapeze.

As a performer I am a storyteller and as an instructor I love helping both children and adults build strength and confidence progressing to eventually have the skills and confidence to perform themselves.

I am known for my slightly confusing, slightly crazy warm up routines which encouraging you not to take yourself too seriously!

I am a qualified children’s fitness instructor and head up our family-run business: Sweet Circus.

I trained as a ballerina for 10 years with the Royal Ballet School and Elmhurst School of Dance.  Throughout my ballet training Pilates was a part of my daily routine.  Due to injury I was unable to carry on with my ballet career.  Wanting to help more people discover  the amazing benefits of Pilates led me to train as a lever 3 pilates instructor with Body Control Pilates.  

Rebecca teaches Pilates classes at the studio on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I have been practising yoga for 20 years, but began sharing it with others in 2012 after taking a BSY teacher training course. Since then, I have held regular Friday morning Let-go-of-the-week Hatha sessions, incorporating breath work, energising stretches (seated and standing, with modifications where needed) and nurturing relaxation. I believe that yoga is for everyone, and love helping others investigate the effects of a gentle but regular practise, which can be truly powerful, refreshing and calming for both body and mind. Join us on Fridays at 10:00.
