About Me

Welcome everyone. I’m Atiya, Yoga Teacher and Health Coach. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2011 and believe that we need whole system health, including mindset, conscious movement and nutrition. I also offer Thai Massages.

After studying Biochemistry at University I went to Thailand to teach English where I also did a Thai Massage course. I returned to the UK to study law and worked for a commercial law firm as a lawyer for 4 years in London. I started to practice yoga at this time, left my job, trained to become a school teacher and a yoga teacher. I have been teaching yoga ever since 2011, qualified as a Naturopathic Nutritionist in 2015 and saw clients in my clinic alongside teaching yoga.

I aim to live according to the holistic principles of yoga. My approach to classes is warm and modern while including some philosophy.

I have taught yoga full-time and part-time, teaching classes in my home studio in Bristol, gyms, other studios, retreats, schools and helping to train new yoga teachers. I trained to Advanced level in Canada, completed an intense sadhana course, completed specific training courses and taught children, teens and pregnant women.

Since moving to Madrid in 2018 I have taught yoga independently and in studios, as well as continued running retreats. I currently only teach yoga independently and also offer online health coaching sessions using tools such as yoga, nutrition and breathwork to help people achieve their health goals, including improved sleep.

I re-qualified as a Thai Massage Therapist in 2022 and worked at a massage centre for a year giving around 50 massages per month. I enjoy the natural and passive relief which a Thai massage offers. I aim to listen and connect with each person that comes in, personalising the massage accordingly. I now only offer massages one day per month.

I hope to meet you soon.

Thanks,

Atiya
