WHITESPACE STUDIO'S MISSION

create and support a community – a hub of teachers, students and like- minded people, giving them a place to connect, share and belong
have the best teachers who deliver classes that inspire people in their lives and their wellbeing goals
help people think differently about yoga & wellbeing, by making it fun, inspiring and accessible for everyone
create an ethical business that is financially sustainable
engage people and encourage them to, as Ghandi said, “Be the change they wish to see in the world.”

We pride ourselves on having one of the friendliest and most passionate teams in the biz. We believe in building relationships, and it’s a community effort with teachers, customers and staff who working alongside each other to help you achieve your wellbeing goals.

our studio team

I took over the ownership of Whitespace from Deborah in October 2020. I am an accountancy and economics graduate with many years marketing and business development experience in the accounting profession.

I began my yoga journey at Whitespace several years ago at an “intro to yoga” day, and I have practised consistently since. I think I am probably still a beginner however! I feel much more confident about bringing my business and marketing background than my yoga prowess to the future success of the studio!

I have inherited something truly special from Deborah’s exceptional leadership over the years; a vibrant team with the dedication to preserve and build on her success, and a wonderful teaching community committed to sharing their love of yoga with our students.

I’m excited to be part of all of this, to be part of the incredible energy that will see Whitespace continue to thrive in the future.

I first came to the Studio on Open Day in 2010 – from working 1 hour per day in exchange for 1 yoga class to becoming my full-time job! This really is my second home – I’m either behind the desk, in the office or on my mat, I love working AND practicing here.

I’m here to ensure everything runs smoothly and support our members along the way (which is just the most fab part of the job). I’m mum to 2 awesome teenage boys and work hard to cultivate the qualities I learn on my mat into my life.

I joined Whitespace in summer 2017 after working a busy London job for almost a decade. Since starting my new yoga journey, like many, I also completed the Introduction to Yoga course and fell in love (with the practice, not with the instructor) and have been regularly attending classes ever since feeling the benefits.

My favourite class is Flow – energising and strengthening, teaching your body to “speak” and a wondering mind to be quiet.

If you hear a slight accent at front desk – it’s usually me saying hi and checking you in for a class. I love being a part of this small but truly amazing team and I hope they appreciate my fun-loving personality and my dry, unique sense of humour!
