Ben’s a London based hatha and vinyasa flow yoga teacher with a background as a fighter and ultra-marathon runner. His approach to yoga asana focuses on how we can change our mental state by creating change on a physical level so Ben’s classes are a practice in bodily alchemy - how we can manipulate neuro transmitters and change biochemistry through the different poses. Expect energetic classes with a focus on core strength, but taught in a way that's accessible for all levels. Outside training, Ben is constantly researching to develop 'efficient' and 'scientific' yoga that elicits physical change as quickly as possible.

Jenna is an expert in Crossfit and her inspiring journey began in 2013 after suffering a back injury which left her with limited mobility and in chronic pain for about 10 months.
It was her newfound passion for Crossfit, which she first tried in 2012, that pulled her through her injury, both mentally and physically.
Her passion for coaching and training fuelled her to start competing in 2014, for fun at first and with little knowledge (she had to borrow her coach’s men’s XL singlet for her first competition which was less than flattering!).
Fast forward to 2015 and Jenna took bronze in weightlifting at the English Championships, her biggest achievement to date. Jenna regularly competes in Crossfit and has qualified for some of the UK’s biggest competitions.
She loves competing as part of a team and is now directing her passion for coaching and training to make other people’s goals a reality.
