Mimi has been practising yoga since 1995 and teaching since 2002. She is a faculty member on triyoga's teacher training and mentors teachers in training at Yogacampus. She takes great pleasure in creating safe, innovative yoga classes where students can work hard and relax deeply. Mainly, she weaves healthy alignment principles into enlivening, mindful, vinyasa flow, but also enjoys peppering her teaching with restorative yoga, meditation and qigong practices. Her main teachers in the Yoga world are Erich Schiffmann and Donna Farhi, who continually strengthen her belief that Yoga is the art of living. Above all, she values her students and self-practice as her main sources of inspiration. Mimi is the author of the DVD "Vinyasa Yoga: A Steady, Mindful Practice," and is also the co-founder of Yoga Yard, a studio in Beijing, China, where she taught for 7 years before moving to London.

Marcela has had a lifelong passion for movement: she has a degree in contemporary dance, and has extensively studied yoga, Pilates, Chakra balancing and Buddhist insight meditation.

Marcela’s classes are dynamic, challenging and full of grace with a focus on core strength, alignment and self-awareness. True to her Latin roots, Marcela teaches with passion ensuring her teaching is inspiring, heartfelt and fun with an emphasis on the deepening connection with the inner self through awareness of the breath.

A fascination with body mechanics has led Marcela to a continuous study of the anatomy of movement resulting in a deep, introspective knowledge of the body and its healthy alignment in the practice of yoga asana and Pilates. This in turn has led to Marcela being selected to teach on the Still Flowing yoga Teacher Training programme.

Gizella has been passionate about dance since she was four years old and trained at the University of Culture, St Petersburg. She came to London to study and become a Pilates teacher. Gizella discovered how to look after the joints, have a correct posture and how to stretch correctly. In turn, she enjoys teaching other people how to strengthen and protect their bodies so that they can have more freedom of movement. She is now in her last year of physiotherapy studies. The union of both techniques, Pilates and physiotherapy, greatly benefited her understanding of injuries which transpires through her teaching.

23 years working as a commercial lawyer in the City and even longer playing competitive sport gave Graham Burns a unique perspective on how yoga can help with the stresses of daily life. In all his teaching, Graham emphasises that the physical benefits of asana are only a small part of the joy of yoga. Much more important is the combined use of body, breath and mind to help us find our true essence. His dynamic but relaxed asana style is rooted in his studies of the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition with Richard Freeman and John Scott, but Graham’s classes are imaginatively sequenced with a particular focus on their more subtle energetic effects, and typically also include both pranayama (breath work) and meditation/visualisation. Initially trained in California in 2000, Graham continues to study widely with many of the world's leading teachers, most notably his current principal teacher, Rod Stryker. As well as his more dynamic classes, he is also an experienced teacher of gentle yoga and yoga nidra and teaches and mentors students on one of the UK’s top yoga teacher training courses. Above all, Graham is known for his humorous and light-hearted approach to teaching, while still preserving the best elements of the yoga tradition.

Jeff is a co-teacher on triyoga's teacher training course and leads worksops and retreats internationally. He is inspiring and popular because of his passion and unique style which emphasises the true spirit of yoga. Strong but soft, dynamic yet meditative - there is an emphasis in his classes on right and skilful action to find a balance between dynamic flow, correct and safe alignment and mindfulness to bring inner peace and harmony. He enjoys being creative and experimental - working with a variety of themes, ideas, different sequences and a range of postures, to help students deepen their practice and understanding. Classes incorporate the philosophy and spirit of yoga and have a meditative quality – learning to be present, not on 'automatic pilot', so that we can practise being as fully alive as possible in each moment in every day life - not just on the mat. Yoga has been a constant part of Jeff's life for the past 14 years since his discovery of it whilst travelling in India. The main influences on his teaching style include (in no particular order) the Anusara, Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, Viniyoga, Jivamukti and Satyananda schools. He has studied with many of the world’s leading yoga teachers doing workshops, retreats and trainings with the likes of Shiva Rea, Donna Farhi, Godfrey Devereux, Sarah Powers, Aadhil Palkhivala, Richard Freeman, Tias Little, Rod Stryker and Simon Low. www.phenixyoga.com
