Kat

I have been teaching yoga full time for over 10 years. As a physics graduate and trained actress, finding my way to teaching yoga wasn’t part of the plan but after attending a class in Shoreditch, East London ,which I then came to realise was a Rocket Yoga class, I wanted more. I travelled to India and explored other styles and teachings, I wanted to learn more, yoga became an integral part of my physical and mental wellbeing.

I returned to India a year later to complete my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Ashtanga and Ashtanga Vinyasa (Rocket®) with The Yoga People, who themselves were taught by Larry Schultz the pioneer of Rocket® yoga.  I immediately began teaching yoga full time and by 2017 had completed 500hrs of advanced Teacher Training with The Yoga People, in Ashtanga, Rocket®, Yin & Mandala Vinyasa. I continue to build my advanced teacher training hours as learning and growth as a teacher are extremely important to me. I have completed 50hrs of advanced adjusting and anatomy with Ambra Vallo, 150hrs of Rocket® with David Kyle and 50hrs of Pregnancy Yoga training with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli.

My public teaching schedule consists of a mixture of Rocket®, Mandala Vinyasa & Dynamic Vinyasa in my public classes.

In 2016 I began hosting yoga retreats worldwide and now run around 7 per year.

My husband, Julian, and I co-founded Kindred Yoga in 2018, in Deptford Southeast London.

I am very proud of the Kindred School Of Yoga which I founded in 2020, I run the 200hr Vinyasa and 50hr Rocket® trainings with Helen Russell Clark and as a school we host multiple other trainings such as Pre/Post natal, Mandala Vinyasa and Assists & Adjustments.

I am a 500hr Yoga Alliance approved, Experienced - Registered Yoga Teacher. E-RYT 500.

Ellie

After studying Dance as my BA, I’ve been continuing to develop my movement practice as a professional dancer in multiple styles.

I initially came to find yoga as a way to manage anxiety & found the benefits so transformative that I went on to do my 200hr Vinyasa Flow training with Kindred in 2021, I now teach yoga & have since also trained in Yin Yoga, soon to be Mandala qualified also!

I have a real passion for growth & deeper knowledge & consider myself an eternal student!

I love working as the studio manager at Kindred Yoga alongside Kat and Jules, who have built an incredible community filled with amazing people and classes.

Jules

Jules' yoga journey began somewhat unexpectedly. Having grown up playing sports and later working a 9-to-5 desk job, he experienced his share of physical tension and stress. Encouraged by Kat to give yoga a try as a way to manage both, Jules entered his first class with preconceived notions: tight lycra, chanting, and long stretches in incense-filled rooms. What he encountered was something completely different: a diverse group of people, each with their own unique body and abilities, moving and breathing together in a way that was both energizing and restorative.

That first hour on the mat left Jules feeling calm, balanced, and with a clearer mind. The experience was nothing like he had imagined—and it hooked him. He returned to the mat again and again, discovering that yoga wasn’t just a physical practice, but a powerful tool for mental clarity and personal growth.

Now, as a certified yoga teacher and co-owner of [Studio Name], Jules feels deeply grateful to be part of a community that has supported his own transformation. For him, the studio is more than just a place to practice—it’s a vibrant, welcoming space where people of all backgrounds come together to find balance, strength, and connection. This sense of community is something that has been a cornerstone of his own journey, and he’s committed to giving back by helping others experience the same sense of peace and growth.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Jules loves creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable to explore and challenge themselves. His greatest joy as a teacher is watching students not only grow in their practice but also become part of the supportive, inspiring community that makes the studio feel like home.
